Yes, a three year old. Hard to believe. But he's turning more and more into a "little person" everyday. Including being a backseat driver - "Mommy, both hands on the wheel." "Mommy, if you go too fast you'll get a ticket." Yep, quite the chatterbox.
So we've continued to avoid the huge birthday parties so far. Don't know how much longer we'll be able to do that, but for now it's working. Instead we just do presents & cake here at home and then head to Disneyland. I guess that's not too shabby, right?
Here is Nick with one of his presents - a set of Tinkertoys.
I'm not entirely sure who had more fun with them, Nick or Daddy.
His big present from us was a Big Boy Bicycle. It is - of course - a Cars-themed bike, so obviously a big hit with the toddler set.
Turns out it is a smidge too tall for him, but we let him ride it around on the flat sidewalks and he does OK.
Another present was a play BBQ set from Aunt Teri & Uncle Ed. He had a great time with this.
He cooked all the food and then served it to us, with the warning "Be careful, it's hot".
Of course we had a cake - it was yummy if I do say so myself (although it came from a box mix with frosting in a can, but whatever). And, yes, you're right! Those decorations are Lightening McQueen and Mater from Cars. (Seeing a pattern here? Kevin thinks we should buy stock in Disney...)
Blowing out the candle...
Then off to Disney! As it is when we leave the park, the characters are hanging out. So here is a picture with Mickey (Nick was too tired to get out of the stroller).
And with Minnie...
All and all a very good birthday. Nick had a great time and so did we! Onto four!! Yikes.
And, for those of you that pay attention to these sorts of things - his 3 year stats (well, three years and a month, the Dr. appt. was about a month after his birthday).
Weight: 40 lbs., 4 oz.
Height: 40 inches even
Yep, still a big boy!!
