Aaron is 3!

Aaron's 3rd Bday

Aaron is 3 and I can't believe it has been that long since he was born. He loved his birthday and was happy to have a party "just like Tyler had". His friend, Brandon, came and they had a lot of fun even though it started kind of rough. Aaron took a nap while I finished decorating the cake and my mom was cleaning up. Then everyone started to come and the man of the hour was still sleeping away. So we had to wake him up which is not a good thing. Aaron likes his sleep and doesn't normally bounce awake like Tyler does. After some time though, he finally started playing and interacting with everyone so we did presents first, then cake. His first present was the truck Mack from the "CARS" movie. He wanted it out of the package but we said to open the others first. After each present he kept going back to Mack and wanted him open! He would have been happy with just that persent. But now he has so many cars and trucks we need a new toybox for them all. We got him a bicycle that looks like a dirt bike and he is trying to learn how to pedal now. Since we have a bigger house he has a little room to practice and Daddy will take him in our huge basement to ride until it gets nice outside. His cake was Lightning McQueen (which took me almost 2 hours to decorate) and he liked that. I asked him to pick which part of the cake he wanted to eat and what part do you think he chose? You'll have to see the pics to find out if you are right! After everyone left, my parents were still here, so we were just relaxing and talking them realized that no one had seen or heard from Tyler in a little bit. I found him at the dining room table, quiet as a mouse, stuffing his face with leftover cake that Aaron hadn't finished! He was very proud of himself and just kept grinning at us with frosting all over his face! It was pretty cute and you can't help but laugh at that! It was a great time. Also to top it off, Aaron didn't want to put on a pull up for bed, which he wears now only at bedtime. He wanted to keep his underwear on. So I decided to let him and I would just clean up the mess in the morning. But there was no mess and he was dry. He is doing pretty good on the potty training now and only occasionally has a mess usually at someone else's house. Thank goodness it is working so well because it saves a lot of money in diapers too!!
