Birthday Dinner

A final re-cap of the Birthday Boy Celebration...

 While waiting for pizza, Nathan ate one of his leftover birthday muffins.  He brought muffins to daycare to share with his friends (since he doesn't like anything sweet).

Doesn't the pizza look yummy?!  Wish you could have enjoyed it with us...  Next time, right?!

Visit with Papa-Nana

Sorry I didn't get pictures of the wonderful gifts that Papa-Nana gave Nathan, but I did get several of our time at the park.  We went to Huntsville for the day as it was a good half-way point between the both of us.

 Nathan liked to throw the food and see what would get it first -- the ducks or the fish.

At the end, the ducks were so friendly that they were eating out of our hands... Nathan didn't mean to feed them, but his finger got nipped in the process.

Other Gifts

After we were able to somewhat get ready for the day, Nathan opened up his other gifts.

  A firetruck

 A birthday card and stickers from great aunt and uncle

 My First Crayola Set 

 Fun pieces to go with the barn from the Stevens in Michigan

Checking it all out while he eats a birthday muffin

Birthday Trike

Our little guy is THREE!  He was convinced it wasn't his birthday and so we decided that the most effective way to help him understand was to open his presents right off in the morning.  He associated presents with birthday (he kept calling it birthday at Christmas!).

Here's some test runs... Sorry it's dark... Since I wasn't using a flash to take the movie, it was relying on the light in the room.

Just as I hit the button to stop recording, he looked up and saw the birthday sign and said, "Happy Birthday to me?!" Wish I would have caught it!

Two for Tuesday

Nathan has been really enjoying coloring and drawing.  I made some cards for some friends and Nathan wrote his name in them.

One year ago... Cutey Pie! :)

Penguin Hat

In the midst of looking for items in the garage, we found some winter items for Nathan. 

Here's the first item - a penguin hat! :)

"I want to press the button, Momma!"

Uses for a Box

We were doing some sorting in the garage on Saturday and brought in a few things to check out.  An empty box was hanging around and Nathan found some great uses to use it.

1. Play cars in it.
2. Color pictures on int (like a table).

3.  Ride it like a horsey
4.  Eat a meal off it.
5.  Sit in it.
What can you think of?!
