Nono turned three! We looked forward to that little guy's birthday for a good month. He chose to have a froggy party, which I was grateful for because that meant no crazy cake to try to make. Ain't nobody got time for that! Since his birthday was on a Sunday, his celebration started early with the traditional Toys 'R' Us trip on Saturday so he could cash in his three dollar gift card from Geoffrey the Giraffe. He picked himself up a nice purple bouncy ball along with the customary birthday balloon and crown. While that probably would've been enough celebrating for Nono, we went ahead and had more partying on his actual birthday. We had games, food, presents, fun, and family - all the things necessary for a great third birthday!
We played pin the fly on the frog...
Even the grown-ups (and their mustaches) had a go!
Nono was not a fan of having his eyes covered up. So he cried.
And then he pinned his fly on the frog with the blindfold tied just above his eyes!
We also did an origami frog game. But where's Nono...?
Oh right, he didn't want anything to do with the origami frog game and set about assembling a Hot Wheels track himself. Stubborn!
He got back on board the party train though when we had a lily pad relay race outside.
I think he likes his froggy cupcakes! Whew!
One of my favorite pictures - whose birthday is it???
Opening presents was so exciting - for all of the kids! Star Wars t-shirt!
Look at that little face!
There's some good paper-ripping action!
I just like this picture because of the cascade of little faces trying to see what's inside!
Most appropriate gift since we call Nono "Boss" half of the time.
And this was probably the most popular gift. We had over 20 airplanes made in the first three days.
Nono, you are still, and probably always will be, the boss. You are a sweet little ray of sunshine and also a sassy little ball of emotions. You love to copy what your brothers are saying and doing, which is hilarious. You wrestle with everybody. You start a lot of "fights" and know how to push your big brother's buttons. You are happy and have the cutest little voice and inflection when you talk. Even though your meltdowns are more frequent than not lately, you are a happy little guy. You love to snuggle and hug. You are a good big brother to Bear. You have an independent streak and like to do as much as you can by yourself. You are very sensitive and get your feelings hurt quite easily. You are very afraid of bugs and thunder and fireworks. You sleep sideways entirely on your pillow (as if it were a little mattress). You aren't a great eater, but are often more willing than your brothers to try something new. You are a little monkey and we love you so, so much little man! Happy birthday!
