On Saturday, we drove to NJ to help our niece celebrate being 3. Matt and I were at the hospital when Arianna was born, and it's hard to believe three years have gone by already.
Just about everything that comes with birthday parties was new to Collin so it was fun to watch him experience it all for the first time.His first new thing was Pin the Tail on the Donkey. Even with his eyes uncovered, he pinned the tail on the donkey's back instead of the backside. Somebody else had put their tail there, and Collin tends to be a follower.
The pinata was new to him as well. He really didn't understand why he had to hit anything in order to get candy.
He was excited once the candy came out, but the poor short-sighted little boy did not understand the "get as much candy as you can" part. He picked up one "lolly", asked us to open it, and decided he didn't need any more candy.
Birthday hats were a new thing, too. He wasn't crazy about it, but who is? Maybe someday birthday hats will be comfy......
The cake part of the party was one part Collin understood perfectly. He knew it was Arianna's cake, but he also knew she was supposed to share with everyone. When asked what kind of cake he wanted, he asked for a "cake muffin".
Jenna is too little to participate in the birthday activities, but she did have fun. batting a balloon around and playing with her cousin Carson.
