Come inside, it's fun inside!

Meeska Mouska, W's 3!

















Another party has come and gone, and as promised it was a Mickey spectacular!  You know what they say, "Go Big or Go Home," and we were already home, so...  

We knew that space was going to be limited this year, so we chose to have a small get together with some Grandparents, Godparents, and W's "Aunts."  Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to come and celebrate our Little Man with us!  It is such a treat to have so many WONDERFUL people in our lives!  We had a blast and I think everyone else did too!


Well, everyone except this stinker!

I made a somewhat impromptu decision to go back to school this semester in the hopes of completing my psychology degree.  Luckily, I was able to find a preschool that had open enrollment.  A few days after W's birthday, we headed on over to check it out.  It is a stimulation overload for sure, but also a really great environment for little man's first experience the with school system.  He still goes back and forth on whether or not he likes school, but if I had to venture a guess, I would say school has been a big hit!  



Along with a new back pack and rocking some new school fashion, W's first week at school also means mini photo shoot!  









I am so proud of my little man.  He is off on a new adventure and taking preschool by storm.  Now just 20 more years and he will be done.  That is a little secret I am saving for later.

Happy Birthday Little Man

I do not know how it happened exactly, but somewhere between the holiday's wrappings and the tundra like temperatures, my sweet man turned 3!  In an effort to put more of my Pinterest pins in action, I lined the halls with balloons and decorated the mirror with birthday banner galore.  When the birthday boy woke up, he was greeted with a swarm of colorful 3 balloons.  



He spent the day jumping away in his new bouncer and somehow never tired.



We ended the day with a homemade Mickey birthday cake... although W claims that it was not a Mickey cake, because it was not in the shape of Mickey.  I put my pride aside, instead of trying to make my toddler appreciate all the handwork that went into crafting a cake in the shape of 3.


It has been such an incredible journey so far watching W grow and learn.  He definitely has developed his own personality and is becoming quite the character.  I cannot wait to watch all his dreams come true this year.  Nothing has made me prouder than being your Mama, Happy Birthday Boo Bear!
