3rd Birthday Party and a sundry things

Dear Parker,

This past weekend we had your 3rd birthday party.  You birthday is not until this coming weekend, but it's always easier for everyone to travel over the long weekend.  Originally, we were going to have the party at Forest Park in Noblesville, but it rained.  So, we improvised and held the party at Mom's school. It ended up being fantastic.  We set up stations in the gym for you, Alex and Grace to play at - bowling, blocks, hula hoops, obstacle course with tunnel, tumbling mats and basketball.  You all had an amazing time.  You ran around, put on dance parties and made almost everyone do somersaults.  In fact, you were having so much fun that in the middle of opening your presents, you asked to stop and go play in the gym.  But we pushed through and you had a great time.  You loved the blanket that you Grandma Sharp made you and you were SO excited about the pajamas that your cousin Alex chose for you.  You got a fishing game from Uncle Stu and Aunt Lauren that you have played a million times and also really enjoy tracing letters and numbers in your books from Grandma and Grandpa Booga.

On another note, when we picked you up from school today we saw that you had traced "E's" that were hanging on the wall.  We went and checked them out and yours was TOTALLY the best.  It was 100% on the lines and not squiggly.  Many others were just colored or had added lines.  It's a silly little thing, but I was really proud.

Now, if only you would go to sleep.  You had such a big weekend that I think you are overtired.  Hopefully, you can get back on schedule this week.

I love you so much, kiddo.  Three more days until your birthday weekend.
Love,
Mommy
