It's about time he gets a cupcake.
Celebratin' with whoever we see,
Oh, despicable THREE!"
Yesterday was Everett's 3rd birthday! We celebrated in the morning with a balloon, presents, and a breakfast "cake" (pancake). The opening of his present I filmed so daddy could see, and I also filmed us singing to him before he blew out his candles, but was able to snap two pictures of him at breakfast.
Then for dinner we went as a family to where else but McDonald's?! Happy meals and playtime equals a happy birthday boy!
At THREE years old Everett is still as busy as ever! He is a mischievous little man who has that innocent smile and look that helps him get off easy almost every time. He is my sweet, lovable, and affectionate little guy, and he just has that adorableness factor that makes it so you can't resist just loving him to pieces! He cracks me up every single day, even when he does something "naughty," so it is hard to be upset with him for long. He doesn't let anyone pick on him, and will stand up for himself, or at times even be the aggressor and just go after what he wants..lots of teachable moments. ;)
Following the same suit as with Noah's bday post:
Our three-year-old Everett likes:
*Playing outside, especially digging in dirt
*Playing with his best friend and big brother, Noah
*Building with blocks or Legos
*Playing like anything he can use is a "trailer" (couch, laundry basket, etc.) and packing up that trailer with things to haul around
*Taking baths
*Trying new foods, even vegetables! (He's really into this lately. So willing to try almost everything!)
*Riding his bike (he got one from Santa for Christmas)
*Teasing his family members
*Singing and dancing
*Laughing and making others laugh
*Helping pour the soap into the washer or dishwasher
*Helping scrub things
*His silky blankets - He turns to them for comfort even over me sometimes when he's upset.
*His "babies" which are teddy bears named Haylee and Hannah after the girls that babysit for me
*Our babysitters, Haylee and Hannah
*Nursery at church
*Library music time
*Having books read to him
*Watching Curious George
*Feeling like a "big boy" and keeping up with his brother
*Peanut butter and honey
*Being independent and doing as much as he can himself
*Brushing his teeth
Three-year-old Everett doesn't like:
*Helping pick up toys/cleaning up
*Having to stop playing to go on the potty
*Having to ride in the van without a movie (can you say spoiled?! ..I really try not to let them watch it for just everyday driving around, but sometimes I give in)
*Getting buckled in his carseat
We are having a "Despicable Me" themed birthday party for him on Saturday with my side of the family, and on Sunday with the Benson side. I will be sure to post pictures of the fun! We chose that theme because he loves that movie, and he will go around talking like a minion or singing, "I'm having a bad bad day, nobody better get in my way.." both which are adorable, HaHa! The singing is especially adorable b/c he usually has a huge smile on his face, which isn't a convincing look to go with the words of the song. ;)
Everett is such a light in our lives! We are so lucky to have him in our family. I love him so much! I can't believe he is three years old and going to go to Preschool next fall, but at the same time he has seemed so grown up to me for quite awhile that I have mistakenly thought of him as 3 well before yesterday! He is such a joy!
