Spencer Turns 3

We had a great time celebrating Spencer's 3rd birthday today. First, we had Day 3 of preschool. It was not an easy drop-off again (this time Daddy took him), but the teachers said he had a really good day. We made pumpkin muffins this morning to share with his classmates and they did some sort of birthday ritual where they lit three candles and talked about how the earth has circled the sun three times since he was born. When we arrived, he was sitting on a little bench with two girls his age and they were singing a song with the teacher. It was pretty darn cute.

We told Spencer that we had a surprise planned for him after school. He kept guessing all sorts of things on the way there. When we arrived at Westgate Lanes and he realized we were going bowling, he giggled and acted very excited. He has mentioned a few times lately that he wants to try bowling, so we figured this would be a fun memory. It was no surprise that he took a few minutes to warm up to the idea, but once he did he had a blast.

 

 

   

After bowling, we came home and much to Spencer's delight he had two more birthday presents waiting for him. We gave him a bright green scooter and a pop-up book. Daddy can't wait to take him to the park tomorrow to practice on the scooter.

We went to Red's Porch for dinner, then got back in time to take our traditional self-portrait at 6:28 PM to commemorate the time of his birth. Happy birthday, Spencer. You are a gift to us!
