The Week of the Boss

So, as you know already this past Monday was Bostons 3rd Birthday... It seems as though the birthday celebrations are never ending and Boss has no complaints! Here is the breakdown of the festivities....

Shopping with Grandma Shirley
Each year Grandma Shirley takes the kids shopping for their birthday and this was Boston's first shopping trip with grandma! He came away with quite the haul of trucks and a huge smile having spent some quality time with great grandma.

(this is obviously not a photo of the birthday shopping - I left my camera at home)

Brownies for Breakfast and presents from Grandma Ronda and Bop Bop while they were here.. Thanks for the "Puter" and Newts, I love them!

A birthday party with friends and family at Boondocks, complete with Go Carts, Arcade Games, Pizza, Monkey Cupcakes, and a Jungle Gym! Thanks to all that made it, we had a blast!

A Celebration at Montessori
For each student's birthday at Montessori they get to bring and pass out a birthday treat to their classmates and participate in a special birthday ceremony - Boston brought blue cupcakes with yellow sprinkles! As they all sit around their rug for "line time" the teacher lights a candle in the middle of the circle and lays out strips of paper for each month of the year around the candle. Then the birthday kid holds a globe and walks around the "sun" candle for every year they are old - just like the earth revolving around the sun - while the teacher explains their major life changes as the months go by... being born, learning to crawl, walking, etc. up until that day. Pretty neat!
