This is the first birthday that Oliver has eagerly anticipated. It was the same for Nadia and Ian. They didn't comprehend what birthdays were like when they turned one or two, but they were very excited about their third birthdays. Several days ago I overheard Oliver through the baby monitor talking about how he wanted his birthday when he was in bed. Today we started Oliver's birthday celebration by letting him pick out three mylar balloons at Dollar General. He picked out an Elmo balloon, Mickey Mouse balloon, and a black one that says "happy birthday."
After dinner Nadia and Oliver helped me make brownies. I taught Nadia how to crack an egg. She cracked three of them and laughed her head off while doing each one. Oliver was laughing right along with her. I had no idea cracking eggs was such a hysterical endeavor! It was not surprising that they loved licking the bowl clean with a spatula at the end. Yum!
The kids wore a wide variety of costumes today. Ian was the one wearing the Blue's Clues costume.
