Jacob turned 3 last Saturday – March 20th. Here he and Puppy are wearing their party hats. I should have known when we went to the party store to pick out his decoration that he would choose animals. We went down the aisle with Dora, Spiderman, fire trucks, etc, and he just stopped and stared at the animals.
Big brother Johnny had to pose with his puppy “Zoe” too.
We let him open one of his presents at breakfast. This is a really neat ice cream cone set from Melissa and Doug. It comes with 2 scoops, 2 cones, and four scoops of ice cream. Up to two ice cream scoops will stick to the cone with internal magnets. Even the box it came in is pretty sturdy.
My sister and I recently signed up for Skype. It was great to use on his birthday especially since Grammy was up in Vegas too.
Johnny like the set too.
Saturday was the first day of T-Ball Skills. This was Johnny’s second time and Jacob’s first. Johnny did much better this time with running. Jacob made me hold his hand and run with him. We all need to work on our throwing and catching. I can’t wait to see them hit next week.
The Dodgers played the Rangers at Surprise stadium. This was the first game either boy has been too. They were so funny when we walked into the stadium looking all around. Johnny was especially interested in the big lights. We only sat in our seats for a total of about three innings, but they had fun.
I think this is the Dodgers warming up.
We got mango flavored sno cones on one of our walks around the stadium.
On another of our walks, we rode on the free carousel. The last couple of times they’ve seen carousels we haven’t been able to ride because Myanna has been with us and there’s no way that I can make sure they don’t fall of the horses, keep my balance, and hold her. They also played around these statues for a long time. We stayed until the end of the game. The Dodgers won 5-4, I think. It was around 4 when we got home and both boys fell asleep on the big couch until 6:30. Luckily all I had planned for dinner was ordering pizza and eating tiger cake.
Time to open presents!
Big brother Johnny got to help. We increased our movie collection from 2 to 6. One of the movies he got was Oliver which he calls Aristocat and the Dog.
Yummy pizza and salad.
Tiger Cake! I was ready to ice the cake and Jacob got up on a chair to help me. When I turned back around he had dumped about half the bottle of green food coloring into the orange icing. Johnny said “I think God made green tigers too, Mommy.” Of course I couldn’t leave it at that so I went back out to buy more icing and finished it up around midnight. It was worth it though when Jacob got his slow grin on his face when he saw his tiger cake the next morning. I asked him later what his favorite part of his birthday was and he said “tiger cake”. Johnny said “eating the tiger’s ears.”
We skyped in my sister and family to sing “Happy Birthday Jacob!”
Yummy ears! They were eating the cake like tigers would.
"This is pretty good."
A long, but fun birthday.I love you Jakey! My big three-year-old. :)
