Three.

So, Wednesday was my oldest son's third birthday! I was so excited about it too after his brother's on Tuesday. We got up early and had a special breakfast of eggs and chocolate chip cookies. Then we spent the morning playing and I let him watch all the episodes of Blue's Clues he wanted to watch, which was a huge treat for him! He even got to watch a couple of episodes of Dinosaur Train on mommy's computer. That is his favorite show.

After nap, daddy was home and we went down to  Party City to pick up the decorations for their party a few days later. We had a great time looking at all the decorations and touching all the cool little toys they had. I bought D some chocolate and let him eat it right then. The highlight of his little evening.

After we left there, we went down the street to his favorite pizza buffet place and ate some yummy pizza. Pepperoni is his most favorite kind and ate three or four slices of it plus some veggies. He has always loved veggies. While we were there, we had the people working come and sing happy birthday to him. He got a little shy but they brought him two balloons, some cool paper hats and some coins to use in the arcade. That made it okay for strangers to sing apparently because he wanted them to do it again.

We took turns taking him back to the arcade and he loved playing all the fun games. The skee- ball is his favorite even though he am not quite strong enough to get the ball all the way up the ramp. I always helps me out though so its okay. We actually did pretty good!

Eventually we ran out of coins and it was time to open presents! He was so excited about that part! He got some really cool dinosaur stuff (they are my favorite) and a cool train set. He also got the motorized hamster from Hell but he didn't take much notice of it right then. It was when we got home and took it out of the box that all Hell broke loose.

When we got done opening presents, it was time to pack up and head home. He wasn't happy when he figured out that also meant bath and bed time but was so tired that he went along with it anyway. A great birthday! I still can't believe my baby boy is three though!
