Happy 3rd Birthday!

You might remember that last year we started a tradition of filling the playroom with balloons for the kids' birthday. This year we had family visiting and the use of an air pump so there were many more balloons.

 He jumped right into the room kicking and hitting the balloons. She stood back for a moment and observed. This is the opposite of their typical behaviors.

It didn't take long before they suggested we try to get all of the balloons in the air at once. It didn't work, but was fun to try. 

Last year the kids wanted sharks for their birthday treats at school (seen in link at top). This year they both wanted rockets. This was our attempt at fruit rockets. It impressed the preschoolers. They each got one rocket and a bowl of fruit. Somehow I'm hoping next year they will want something even easier - like maybe just bowls of fruit.
