It was a crisp autumn day, the leaves rustling underfoot as I, Lily, walked towards our house. Today was a special day, a day that felt both familiar and new. It was Jack's birthday, his second 5th birthday.

Inside the house, the energy was electrifying. Balloons bobbed in the air, carrying the scent of cake and frosting. There were streamers, decorations, and a large sign that said, "Happy Birthday, Jack!"

Jack was bounding around the living room, his werewolf costume hugging his small frame. His excitement was infectious, his laughter echoing off the walls, filling the room with joy.

Mom and Dad were in the kitchen, preparing Jack's favorite foods. There was a sense of normality to the scene, as if this was just another birthday, another year of Jack being 5.

Jack's friends from the neighborhood were there too, their faces painted with excitement. They were all looking forward to the bounce house, the games, and of course, the cake.

As Jack's older sister, I found it strange to see him so little, so carefree. But I couldn't help but feel a sense of joy, seeing him so happy in his second childhood.

The party kicked off with Jack leading us in a game of tag. His laughter filled the yard as he ran around, his werewolf costume fluttering in the wind.

After the game, we headed to the bounce house. Jack was the first one in, his joyful squeals echoing as he bounced high into the air.

We all took turns in the bounce house, laughing and playing until we were out of breath. Jack was the last one out, his laughter still echoing in the air.

After the bounce house, it was time for cake. Jack's eyes lit up at the sight of the werewolf-themed cake, his little hands clapping in excitement.

Jack blew out the candles, his face smeared with frosting. There was singing, laughter, and a sense of joy that filled the room.

After the cake, it was time for presents. Jack ripped open the wrapping paper with glee, his excitement palpable as he discovered each new gift.

Among the presents was a new werewolf costume, a gift from me. Jack's eyes shone with delight as he pulled it out of the box, his growl of approval filling the room.

The party continued into the evening, the house filled with laughter and joy. Jack was in his element, his happiness radiating off of him.

As the night fell, the party began to wind down. Jack was still full of energy, running around the house, his new costume trailing behind him.

At bedtime, Jack crawled into his bed, his werewolf costume still on. He yawned, his small hand reaching out to hold mine as he drifted off to sleep.

I sat by his bed, watching him sleep. There was a sense of peace, a sense of contentment that filled the room. Jack was happy, and that's all that mattered.

As I left his room, I couldn't help but feel grateful. Grateful for this chance to see Jack so happy, so carefree. Grateful for his second childhood.

As I drifted off to sleep that night, I thought about the day. Jack's laughter, his joy, his happiness. It was a day to remember, a day of celebration.
