Wyatt had his third birthday celebration on Septemeber 7th. We had a few friends and family over for BlackJack Pizza and "Thomas the Tank Engine Happy Birthday Cake". Wyatt loves to call all cake "Happy Birthday Cake" so that's the Official term we must use for now, otherwise we get corrected!
The birthday festivities went really well. The kids had fun with water balloons, the pool, play equipment, and their supervisors - Allison Searls and Jessica Onstot. Thank goodness for middle school aged girls who enjoy playing with little kids. I was one of those once upon a time! As the party coordinator, I must say ordering pizza and having little helpers truly allowed me the opportunity to sit back a bit, relax, and enjoy the celebration even more. It was nice to have time to talk with friends and simply take in the scenes of Wyatt's ever growing maturity and sense of humor.
Our friend, Fremont showed up a day early to the party - it was a bit humorous at first. Thank goodness we were actually home when he rolled in on his motorcycle. Joni was home sick in bed, so Fremont was riding solo. Anyway, we were able to spend some time with Fre. Wyatt even got his first motorcycle ride. Honestly, I think that was more of a present to Wyatt than the Playdough and tools from Fre and Joni. He loves the actual present, but seeing his face while riding and "steering" the motorcycle up and down the street was purely magical.
Of course, given Wyatt's long-standing facination with trains, we had a Thomas themed cake and I made little trains on tracks for the kids out of various candies. It was a fun way for me to excercise my creativity. I did appologize to all the parents for sugar-filling their children! The gifts also included many Thomas themed items - clothing, balls, books, etc... It was wonderful - and mostly because everyone kept everything so simple. Wyatt didn't get too overwhelmed with the gifts and he has been enjoying them all so much these days.
