For the first time in his few short years, we decided to keep August's birthday festivities subdued this year. Due to the fact that we weren't exactly sure what or whom our schedule was going to entail, along with his difficulty of playing well with others at the moment, we figured it was best to skip out on a traditional party. Thankfully between the balloons, cake, candle, and presents, the little guy didn't seem to miss any bigger celebration one bit.
Friday morning, he was greeted with the birthday banner, a big bouquet of balloons, and his big gift of a 'little toy house' from my parents and ourselves. After a low-key breakfast of oatmeal and Merry Christmas Charlie Brown, it was off to preschool against his will. While he was adamant that he didn't want to go, and therefor ended up not receiving the best behavioral report, he still managed to enjoy a little celebration of cupcakes and singing at school. Once his Papa arrived home from work Friday evening, we sang our birthday song, blew out a candle, partook in a cupcake, and opened a few presents from us and my sister's sweet family. Shortly thereafter, Kevin's mom showed up to spend the weekend with us, and of course was bearing a couple of more gifts for the spoiled little man.
Saturday we woke up and attended gymnastics as usual, and then headed downtown to play at the Children's Museum, enjoy lunch, and happened upon an impromptu Mardi Gras parade. All in all we had quite an enjoyable weekend full of lots of relaxed playing time. I think his year of '3' is off to a great start if I do say so myself.
