They started the day with a delicious breakfast of eggs, sausage, biscuits and fruit, which Jairo helped Eric prepare. We then went to see an IMAX movie at the Smithsonian -- a film about the Galapagos Islands, which are part of Ecuador. It was great to see the beauty and mystery of that part of Jairo's country, and the enormous screen really brought the 3-D film to life. We're looking forward to traveling to the Galapagos with Jairo when he gets just a little older.
After the movie we came home and Eric and Jairo had gifts and cards for me. Jairo had made me a beautiful card, and had selected his own gifts, which included some soap in the shape of a baby duckling, and a stuffed dog to match his own stuffed dog (both named Lily, after our neighbor's dog, who Jairo loves). Eric once again outdid himself with an incredibly thoughtful gift -- a photo book he had made of our first 100 days together with Jairo. Needless to say, I shed a few tears with the wonderful gifts from my boys.
Later we had a picnic outside, which Eric had prepared with all my favorite goodies. And Jairo topped the meal off with cupcakes he had made for me. I'm not sure which was more fun for him -- making them or eating them!
We rounded out the day by going to my parents' house for dinner, to celebrate with my mom. It was a wonderful day, and I'm so thankful to have the opportunity to be a mother to our dear son!
