A Sick Birthday Boy

Alston turned 10 on February 15th.  He really wanted his ears (both) pierced like his big Brother's,  a cell phone and anything that has to do with basketball. The day of I made him breakfast in bed, we took treats to his class, took him to get his ear's pierced and out for our traditional "Family Birthday Dinner." He chose to go to a dinner buffet. Alston's birthday party, (roller skating) was scheduled for Saturday the 18th, but unfortunately we had to reschedule it for this Saturday the 25th because he was so sick. In fact, all of the Mason Men were sick. First of all his allergies began to bother him the day before his birthday, then the day after he got a horrible cough, chills, high fever, etc. Not all the tea, Nyquil, chicken soup, orange juice, etc. in the world could get him to feel like his normal self  in time for his birthday party. He was very sad and so was I since it was the first time I ever had to cancel a birthday party due to illness. No Mother likes when their child isn't feeling well. Birthdays are huge in our household, but hey it happens,and his health is most important. I, of course contacted all the parents to inform them of the situation and the rescheduled birthday party date. We ended up just ordering pizza, getting movies and simply relaxing. We all felt so bad for him as he drearily watched Kung Fu Panda 2. We look forward to his upcoming birthday celebration.
