It’s been a big birthday week for our li’l fella! First there was birthday circle at school and then there was a mini-bday celebration at Lola’s house while Tom was at work and I was at a conference, and then there was dinner at Millennium, and finally — the fourth celebration(!) — was a dynamic duo celebration with Finley at the park!
The costume party was Mariah’s fantastic idea — Dylan surprised us with a request for Spiderman (guess he plays superheroes at school), so it worked really well; he went as Spidey (thanks, Auntie Heather, for the fantastic face painting!) and everyone else got to dress up as they pleased! About half-way through the party…or so…the boys led a costume parade around the little park.
We also both brought pinatas–our’s was the little spider which was eclipsed by the big ol’ “4” pinata (which we apparently got lucky to get! At the store, there was only a 1 and a 4 available–thanks again to Mariah and David!!). We let Dylan try chewing gum for the first time — some Canela’s he got from the pinata — and boy was he thrilled (and, of course, some promptly got on his car seat–sigh!)!
The rest of the Big 4 celebration involved posing with the pinata (one minute), playing on the playground, riding the wagon, blowing bubbles, and eating.
I think both boys had a fantastic time and the rest of the 100 posted pictures Auntie Christina took (thank you!) are in the usual place…! You should check them out ‘cuz there are a lot of cute ones!
