Although I know he will not remember, we tried to make Timmy's birthday
as special as possible. He thoroughly enjoyed having me sing to him and
requested it often. I obliged each time. Not only did I want to make him
happy, but I also know that is a matter of time before he realizes that
my singing voice is strong in enthusiasm but lacking in range and
talent.
We began the day with his favorite breakfast
(Chick-fil-A) on our way to drop Robby off at school. Afterwards I took
him to a new indoor playground which was readily enjoyed. He took off
running without hesitation and climbed the rock wall without batting an
eye. My little three year old is fearless!
When he was done
running, climbing, sliding and jumping we headed to lunch at McDonalds.
(Did I mention that birthdays don't have to be healthy in our house?) He
nibbled on some nuggets and then slid and climbed some more in the play
area. When he was a complete sweaty mess, we packed up and drove to
Robby's school.
Lacking any friends of his own, Robby's
classmates were more than happy to fill the void on Timmy's birthday.
They graciously accepted Timmy into their classroom and celebrated his
birthday with cupcakes and ice cream cups. I doubt there is anything
Timmy loves more than spending time with Robby at his school. He lights
up entertaining the "big kids" and relishes the attention.
The
rest of the day and evening were spent playing at home, watching
cartoons and enjoying his favorite dinner. He seemed to be particularly
impressed with his train themed cake, although the fact that it was
covered with mini Thomas the Train toys was probably the clincher. By
6:30 he was exhausted and fell asleep on top of Puppy blanket on the
living room floor.
I know he won't remember yesterday, but I will never forget how we spent his 3rd birthday.
