Elliot turned three years old on June 9th. We were going to be with Ashley in Cancun on that date so we had a family party BEFORE we left. I felt like such a heal for not being here for his birthday but I hope he didn't notice too much. I think it was okay though. I pretty much let him do whatever he wanted...what 3 year-old doesn't love that?
We started by having all of his favorite foods for his birthday - chicken nuggets, macaroni & cheese, cado (avocado) and, of course, cake and ice cream! Notices that the veggies are nearly non-existent! It helps me to be grateful for how normal he is now!!
He loves to blow out the candles and then have us re-lite them so he can blow them out again. Three year old's are so delightful. I think he wore more of his cake and ice cream than he actually ate.
We got him "Rocket" from Little Einstein's fame. Rocket has all the little people inside and he can fly the rocket around or push it on the floor and it makes sounds according to how fast it goes. Elliot loved it!
While we were gone his parents took him to the zoo for his birthday. I think the look on his face in this picture says it all -
I LOVE toddlers who are three...they have such a wonder, honesty and excited view of the world and they are old enough to tell you what they think but young enough to know that they shouldn't! Because I see Elliot everyday I get to laugh my head off at the stuff he says -
Last week he was tormenting his baby sister Evie by taking toys away from her. So I took pity on poor Evie and told Elliot that is wasn't very nice of him to take toys away from his baby sister. His reply? "Shhh Magah! You just go back and make the Preemie Tees!" In other words, why don't you just mind your own business! He cracks me up!
he has taken to being a real charmer too by calling all the females in his life "beautiful." "Oh, beautiful Mommy!" "Ashley is beautiful too!" Or, I love this one...after giving the little girl next door he told Brooke, "Mommy, I love Ashlyn, she is so beautiful!" He is going to be a lady killer!
Happy Birthday Elliot! I hope you have an awesome year Buddy Buddy!
