The candle is blown, the wish has been made, he really truly is now 3 old years.
Soren is hilarious, he gets jokes and he can tease like a 5 year old. When he makes a sad choice he bursts into tears and says "sorry mama! sorry mama!" over and over so it's hard to properly discipline him. Yeah, he pretty much works me over. He jumps off of everything and loves everything. He is especially inclined to music and sings a ton. It helps that he loves his "music teacher" at church.
We all adore this kid.
Birthday wish#1: Spider-man cake (cupcakes)

Birthday picnic with friends

We met at the park across from Miriam's school during her lunch hour so she could join us.
The least I could do, she made the cupcakes after all.

Birthday Tradition #2:
THE ZOO!!
(Our 1 year pass bought last year for Soren's birthday expires today.
We also told the kids we were expecting a baby who turned out to be Soren at the zoo.)
See? I was there! Here is photo proof.
It was lovely weather, we helped a little lost boy, the polar bear, river otter and seals were so fun, the legos were amazing, the leopard was making scary noises, we watched the gorilla eat her boogers. Loved every minute of the zoo and had to be ushered out by bike security.
Once we got home it was another story.
Soren, who didn't take a birthday nap was so over tired, Byron had growing pains and I suspect some jealousy pains as well, Miriam had a rough day at school and I think had expected to get an ice cream at the zoo which we didn't get.
They all went to bed in tears. I should have taken a picture.
