Happy Birthday Caleb!

This past weekend was very busy. We celebrated Caleb's 3rd birthday early due to scheduling conflicts; his actual birthday is August 28th. The party was at a local bounce house gig; we rented a room where there were several bouncie houses to choose from. We were so excited that many of our friends from where we moved from were able to come, as well as a few new friends from Caleb's new daycare. My family all came in as well to help celebrate and see the new house. Talk about motivation to get unpacked and decorated. Caleb was so excited Saturday when we told him it was finally time to have his birthday party. He has been talking about it for the past 3 weeks. Lucas, his best friend from his last daycare, was able to make it as well. Lucas's Mom had got in touch a couple of weeks after Caleb left saying he was really missing his friend. So we were so happy they could get together again so soon for Caleb's birthday. Their faces were priceless when they saw each other. Caleb had such a good time and happily bragged how "all my friends were at my party." After an hour of jumping and running, we sat the kids down for fruit and pizza. That's when Caleb looked at me slightly distressed saying " they haven't sang happy birthday to me mommy." I couldn't help but laugh at his pitiful expression before explaining we were going to eat pizza first, then sing before cake was served. Obviously he has been to a few parties and didn't want to miss his own glory moment. What was really funny is that when we finally did sing to him, he acted very shy, ducking his head down and grinning so innocently. After naptime, we let Caleb open all his presents. He was really excited about all the wonderful gifts he received.

Caleb's cousins, Logan and Dylan, were also staying with us; so the weekend was full of entertainment for Caleb. They took Caleb with them to the Aquarium Friday, partied and played all day Saturday, and then ended the weekend with swimming on Sunday. We were all exhausted by Sunday afternoon. What a weekend! But it was so nice to see friends and family again!
