Happy Birthday Evan!

My sweet baby boy turned three in February!  I can't believe he's so big.  I didn't have time to make him a birthday cake, so we got him an awesome strawberry shortcake from Porto's.  Evan liked it, but decided halfway through his slice that it was more fun to "cut" it, which meant smashing it into goo with his fork. He's done this with almost every type of dessert we've given him since then.

 

He opened cards and presents from far and wide, and we took him to Target to spend his birthday money (he chose another football, a Woody and Buzz Lightyear action figure set, and a stuffed Mickey Mouse.)
    

Presents (Connor is helping, of course.)

I had been promising him that "when he was three" he could go to gymnastics class like Connor and Elise, so the weekend after his birthday I took him to a trial class.  He was so excited he couldn't stand still.  Elise and I hung around and watched him through the window.  
    

Before Class

   
He had tons of fun, but didn't really understand the concept of doing one activity or area of the gym at a time.   He just kept wandering off to do whatever looked interesting.  If the class hadn't been so full, I wouldn't have minded, but the Saturday morning class was way overwhelmed with kids (the picture is only a third of who was in there).  I still think we'll sign him up eventually, but for now we're just doing a Mommy and Me music class during the week.  He thinks that's awesome, too!
  
The morning after his birthday, Evan brought this Lego creation to me saying, "Look, Mom!  I made it!"  The expression on his face was so proud I had to get a picture.  What a sweetie he is.
   

I love you, Evan!
