So, its' kinda been awhile but I'm proud to say that we now have a 3 year old among us. We celebrated Benny's 3rd on the 16th and I think he was very pleased with it. We started the morning off playing the hot and cold game to find his presents. Then later on in the day we went to the dollar store and he got to buy three toys with his birthday money. It made him feel very grown up I think. He was excited to hand the lady the money. He kept trying to give it to her before it was even our turn in line. He ended picking out a long neck dinosaur because we left his at oma's accidentally and he wanted a replacement and then he picked out a big, plastic dragon fly and then some skeleton dinosaurs. No doubt, dinosaurs are his thing. His favorite underwear are his dinosaur ones and he has me look for them if he thinks they might be clean and just misplaced somewhere. He also requested a sharp tooth cake. He actually requested a sharp tooth, long neck, spike, and three horn cake but I had him narrow it down. He really liked his cake. It was fun to make. On one of the ferns on the cake you can see where his little finger swiped it to taste the frosting. For the actual celebration, we invited all the family in town which was his cousin Brittany, Cousin Jenny and her two kids, Lilly and Zander and Ben but he was sick and didn't come. We had pizza and then we sang to him twice so he could blow out his candles twice. I think that was his favorite part. His eyes were just brimming with excitement and joy when we were singing to him because ever since I had my birthday in Dec. He's been anticipating the day when the birthday song would be sung to him. He requested the piece of cake that had the head of the sharp tooth on it. It was a fun time. Benny was also very excited days later when he got a birthday gift from grammy and grandpa, a harmonica! ever since he discovered it at their house he's loved playing it and to have it back again made his day. Anyways, it was a good day. We're sure proud of him. He's such a good brother and a quick learner and always trying to be good. We love him.
I'm so bad at remembering to take pics. This is all I got but we did get a video at least. Benny with cousin Lilly.
The beautiful sharp tooth cake. Obviously home made but made with love.
