You And I

Chapter 28:

Syd:

When Ben woke up from his nap, he walked into the living room to find the house decorated in Paw Patrol. It was official my baby boy was 1. The rest of the boys were here, and of course Erika was here, my parents were here and you couldn't wipe the smile off his face. We played games and of course watched Paw Patrol. We played music, Niall and the boys sang a few songs and then we had cake and ice cream. We told him that he could open his presents and he ran for the table where he presents were.

He started tearing them apart and leaving the cards on the table for me to read to him. He found the memory game we got him and he nearly screamed, correction he did. We all laughed as he then started opening the game. "Benny, why don't you finish opening presents and then we can play it." I said and he just nodded eye the game the rest of the time that he opened presents.

After all the presents were open and grabbed the game and ran to the living room where he sat down and started opening the box again. I sat on the floor with him and helped him set it up. Then the dog decided it would be fun to take a turn and flipped the whole game so it was very random how the cards were placed, including the one that landed on the entertainment center.

We played about 3 or 4 rounds before Niall took him to give him a bath. I put the game away and put it on the shelf and let the dog out. When I came back Ben was sitting on the couch watching Spongebob in his new Paw Patrol pjs that Liam bought him. Everyone left around 9 when we put birthday boy to bed. After everyone left Niall and I started cleaning everything up.

"So what should we name her?" I asked Niall as we stood in the kitchen.

"I was thinking Roslyn Anne." He said.

"I love it." I said.

After everything was finally clean we went and sat on the couch watching Spongebob because we were too lazy to change the channel. As we sat there cuddled up to each other Ben came running out to us. "Mommy, I can't sleep." He said.

"Alright, I can make you some warm milk." I said.

"Can I just watch TV with you and daddy?" He asked already climbing up onto the couch and snuggling in between us.

"I guess so." I said as we both adjusted so we were comfortable with him between us.

He told us a story about a dream he had and then he soon drifted off to sleep. I carried him to bed and when I walked back out to the couch Niall was smiling looking at the picture of the sonogram. I grabbed a pen and walking over to him. I took the picture and turned it over and wrote on the back.

"Roslyn Anne Horan"
