Jake had a wonderful birthday party this year at our local, minor league ballpark. They do a great job there, and even let all the birthday kids throw out a ceremonial first pitch. Jake was VERY nervous, as was I when I saw he would be throwing from the round of the mound...a pretty long throw for a 7 year old! But he stepped up and threw a perfect strike into the catcher's glove and then grinned from ear to ear!! He also got a signed ball from all the players, which he thought was very cool, and spent the rest of the night running around the ballpark with his friends. He got a new big kids bike for his birthday, but more importantly, FINALLY lost his very first tooth the night before he turned 7! We've been waiting a while for that one :)
