Life with the Gilmore's: Happy Birthday, Caleb!!

Caleb was so excited that today was his Birthday!! But he was quickly dissapointed when he learned that he was not having another party today. Since we had his party on Saturday, he had automatically linked that his Birthday meant party. Poor kid! We still managed to have a fun day though. Our morning started out with Birthday pancakes. Half of our pancakes were chocolate chip and the other were rainbow sprinkles- yum! We played at home this morning then we picked Daddy up at work and went to Zaxby's for lunch per Caleb's request. After we dropped Daddy back off at work, we headed to Publix to pick out a small Birthday cake for tonight. When we were checking out, Caleb was so proud of his cake and he told both the cashier and the bagging lady that this was HIS Birthday cake. The lady that was bagging our groceries was so so sweet to him and she rushed off to make him a balloon. He picked yellow, of course! After that, we headed home where both kids took great naps- yay! When Caleb got up from nap, he wanted to snuggle and read books so we did that for about 15ish minutes until Daddy got home. When Daddy got home, he was so excited to show Daddy the Birthday cake we had bought. So we lit it up and he made a wish. Then we did it again, ha! He loves blowing out candles :) We had small pieces of cake for a snack before opening gifts. Mommy and Daddy had saved their gifts for Caleb until today. We got him a case for his new Innotab and a new game. The Fresh Beat Band DVD, a net with fish for the bath or pool, and a Red Rover game that is really cute. He was SO excited when he opened the Fresh Beat DVD...I wish I had his reaction on video! It then took us a while to convince him to leave the house but he agreed once he realized he could watch his new DVD in the car. We headed out to Target to get a few things- mainly more AA batteries for all of his new toys!! And lastly, Caleb chose to eat at Phil Sandavol's Mexican for dinner and it was yummu :) I hope he had a great day!! Mommy had hoped to do more with him today like take a trip to the Botanical Gardens or something, but she ended up getting the cold that the kids had earlier in the week and just didn't have the energy...I owe you one, Buddy!

YUM!! Maybe a new Birthday tradition :)

When Mommy was feeding Kailyn her breakfast, Caleb went upstairs and came down saying he had his clothes ready for today. This is what he picked out...is this what having a 3 year old is going to be like? He was so proud of himself for picking out his own clothes. Yikes!
