It is someone's birthday today...

But it's not Oliver's (yet).

Today Bruce turns eight years old. A few days ago I asked him what he would think if the baby was born on his birthday. Bruce happily replied, "we'd be twins!"

Thankfully, after 2.5 days of contractions, they stalled out yesterday afternoon and have not returned. So it looks like Bruce won't have to share his birthday after all. 

Grandma Raymond is making Bruce his favorite foods, and baked a ginger chocolate cake that we all shared at the hospital this afternoon. I hear that the house is decorated with streamers and that Bruce had a fun sleepover with his best friend (who happens to be a twin and makes Bruce wish he had a twin). 

Bruce got binoculars, a space rocket launching computer program, lots of Legos, Pokemon cards, and some Calvin and Hobbes books. 

I'm trying to figure out how to play Pokemon and am not getting it; does anyone know how to play this or does everyone fake it?!
