The day was dominated by the previously mentioned birthday party for The Pip, so it only makes sense to have the photo of the day be an action shot from said party:
The Pip shaking a parachute with balls on it at his birthday party.

At SteelyKid's softball game today, the Pip provided an ideal cute-kid photo to use as a springboard to some SCIENCE! Or at least, a graph... Anyway, here's the Little Dude showing off how tall he's gotten:

OK, really he's hiding under Kate's raincoat (after two…
My kid (now a junior in high school) also had a 4 year old part at an indoor gym, and it was very well received. I seem to recall the balls on a parachute thing as well, plus the run under the parachute portion.
Good times. My kid still spends a lot of time in a gym, but I suspect his face rarely reflects pure joy anymore.
