Another Year Older….
Posted on 6.3.08 at 8:38 pm
This weekend we celebrated the B-Man’s third birthday. Just like every year, it was hard to come to grips with the fact that my “baby” was growing older.
We’d decided to keep it really simply this year, just doing something with immediate family and grand parents. We gave the B-Man a few options and when he picked lunch at Chuck E. Cheese. I was actually kind of excited (I know it sounds crazy but I was). Growing up our parties were always at home. For me, a trip to Chuck E. Cheese is a chance to channel my inner child and act like kid for awhile. The whole family had a blast playing games, raking in tickets, and getting our photos taken with Chuck E. Cheese himself.
Here we are playing Skee Ball. My parents totally killed it:
Later that evening, after dinner, we continued the party and did the cake, ice cream and presents. The best part was the B-Man’s reaction to us singing the Happy Birthday song. As soon as he realized that all of the fuss was for him, he kept asking us to sing the Birthday song over and over again to him.
Here’s the B-Man listening as we sing the Happy B-day song for the 3rd time…..
Here he is with his big brother SM opening a new Thomas the Tank Engine train.
If any of you have any secret potions or spells that will stop him from growing up, I’d appreciate them.

Happy Birthday to B-Man!
My girl’s 3rd birthday is coming up in September and I’m keeping it really intimate, too. The last two years have been wild, huge ordeals that take hours to plan, prep and clean up after.
This year, it’s gonna be small. Thanks for sharing your story to confirm my decision isn’t too rebellious.
