Ben Turns 3!

Somehow (I'm not sure how it happened), we have a 3-year-old. Ben enjoyed a day filled with all things fun, as a little boy's birthday should be. Ben woke up and immediately checked out the cupcakes I made for him to bring to school. And some Blue's Clues stickers! Breakfast tasted better on his new Blue's Clues plate.

Then it was time to celebrate at school ...

Look! 3 M&Ms because I'm 3! Ben and friend Cole dig in. Ben's classmates enjoyed his birthday cupcakes. That was delicious!

After nap, we spent the afternoon at the park ...




Noah likes to swing! And while we were there, a small birthday miracle occurred ...

Ben shared without prompting!

When I asked Ben what he wanted me to make for his birthday dinner, he said, "Pretzels ... AND pretzel sticks!" After further consideration, he decided on one of his favorites - Subway. (Is this a comment on my cooking?) Hungry boy

When we got home, it was time to open presents ...

A "Word Factory" DVD (sequel to the "Letter Factory," a favorite) Candy Land from Noah Some new Maisy books New Crocs with a Blue's Clues Jibbitz

And one more gift on the porch ...

A scooter! And he's off! Happy Birthday, Ben!
