It's Jake's third birthday. He's had a great day. Mommmy and Poppy woke him up by singing "Happy Birthday" and he got to eat both french toast AND cereal for breakfast.
He opened one present this morning -- a "real" two-octave kids' piano from Nanny. He was so excited! Now he can watch his "Laurie" DVD and either play guitar like Laurie or keyboards like Susie. Although after watching that DVD, he thinks you play the piano by standing up!
He had a great day at school and was "king" of the room. Mommy brought in a Curious George ice cream cake and special treats for all of his friends. Everyone said the cake was really yummy. Jake also got a present from his Daddy and Amy; a toy UPS truck. BIG hit.
In fact, UPS was part of his birthday: After dinner at McDonald's (Jake's favorite place to eat in the world) we drove by the district UPS facility and saw lots and lots of "PUS twucks, Mommy!" So cool. Jake can discuss the medium trucks, the 18-wheelers, what colors they are, what they might carry...he's quite the UPS truck expert. (Don't ask me, I have no idea why he's obsessed with them.)
He got his very own digital camera, a McDonald's gift card, a game, and a Wiggles DVD. Tomorrow he gets to see the Wiggles live in concert and he is very excited. On Saturday he has a family birthday party planned. Whew!
Of course, he didn't get one thing he wanted -- a rhinoceros. We discussed that we don't really have room for a rhino, so we decided we would have a pretend rhino for a pet. Jake decided that he would name him...."Bunny."
Currently, he and Poppy are watching "videos". The Beatles are a big favorite right now.
Sigh. I can't believe he's three. Seems like yesterday....
