3 Years Old!

 

I can't believe my firstborn is 3 years old!  He's doing amazing in preschool.  He can count to 14 at least.  At preschool they practice counting to 30!   And to 10 in spanish.  He knows his colors fairly well though sometimes makes mistakes. 

He amazed me the other day in naming shapes.  He pointed at a stop sign and pointed at a sign and said "octagon"  I was showing off his skills to my mom and pulled out a book the had a picture of a stop sign in it and asked him where the octagon was.  He said "where go octagon?"  Turns out the stop sign in the book was a hexagon.  So there wasn't an octagon on the page.  He surprised me even more when he pointed out squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, ovals, and diamonds.  But I about fell out of my chair when he pointed out a crescent! 

So here's some pictures of Trevor's party.  We had a great time and he loves Thomas so that's the theme we went with.

    

Jayden's 1st Birthday

I can't believe my baby girl is one! We had a low key party to celebrate. For her birthday meal on her birthday we ordered pizza and she really enjoyed it.

We had her birthday party on the 30th, the following Sunday. I'm not really huge yet into the whole "theme" party but it had a slight little mermaid flair to it with a little princess thrown in since the Little Mermaid was a princess and all.

Don't let the grin fool you, she did not like her crown one little bit! There was about 50 pictures of her scowling and trying to take it off and only 2 of her smiling.

She was eating very daintily until Daddy showed her it was ok to make a mess. She never did get quite as messy as Trevor did on his first birthday. She ate pretty much the entire smash cake by herself. I don't know how she ate that much. I tried a couple of times to take it away but she got mad so I let her keep at it. Your only 1 once right? Surprisingly very little got on her high chair or the floor.

Trevor thought the cake was yummy too!
