There is really something magical about celebrating a little boys 4th birthday. Their eyes just open wide when the lights are dimmed, and candles are lit and everyone starts to sing. "Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birthday to You!" The excitement can't be contained! After singing we dove directly into the cake and ice cream and licked our bowls clean! On birthdays in my family the parent always shares the story of the day the child was born from morning till dusk and all the details in between. For Adam, we read from the book "On the Night You Were Born" by Nancy Tillman. I especially like the first page which reads...
On the night you were born, the moon smiled with such wonder that the stars peeked in to see you and the night wind whispered, "Life will never be the same." Because there had never been anyone like you...ever in the world.
Lee and I embraced this moment with all our heart and it was so wonderful. To celebrate with Adam was such an honor. We think you are the greatest!!

Happy 4th Birthday Adam!! It sounds like he had a wonderful birthday celebration! I love all of the pictures and the video of his birthday song and blowing out the candles. What wonderful memories.
Happy 4th birthday Adam! looks like you enjoyed your special day :-)
I JUST bought that book a few days ago, for "someday". I fell in love with it and had to have it. I love the pictures. Four is such a good birthday age, they really GET what’s going on. Best wishes for a happy 2011!
Happy 4th birthday! I am sure it was a magical day. I think there is some trend with the adopted kids from Poland and their birthdays. Dominiks b-day was in Nov. Our girls just had their b-days' a week apart. i know another girl who just got home and her little girl just had her 2nd b-day and this other girls who brought 4 kids home just celebrated 3 of the 4 b-days in the past month. Their must be something in the water during the spring!
Looks like he had a wonderful day!
Happy birthday, Adam!
