Somehow, three years have passed since I became a mama. After 15 hours of labour, six months of colic, seemingly endless sleepless nights, family vacations, first day of preschool, music class, gymnastics, picnics at the park and lots of baking/crafting and play dough-ing… my little boy is three years old! Three years have flown by so fast yet at the same time I can barely remember a time without Tristan. (Though I do have a *faint* recollection of heading out for drinks on the market at a moments notice, sleeping in, and watching movies all afternoon on a rainy Sunday…)
Three is a big deal. No longer considered a toddler, my boy is a pre-schooler now. And of course, a big deal is cause for a big celebration! A week of celebrations. Three to be exact.
One family BBQ, one special lunch (at McDonalds… Shhhhh!) on THE actual big day, and of course a fun-filled party at Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo.
For our family BBQ, Tristan requested pink cupcakes with candy and a cherry on top. My boy asked. His mama delivered.
Little Ray’s was a perfect party locale for my typical boy. Being the birthday boy, he got special treatment and was able to hold and feed several creatures.
Apparently he takes something from his mama, cause he wouldn’t hold a tarantula either!
Daddy worked on the cake for the big partay. Another great looking cake… I wonder what he’s going to make next year?
