Henry is THREE!

Yesterday sweet little Henry turned three...he is getting so big! Every time I use the word "baby" his immediate response is "mommy, I not a baby anymore!" That has been going on since he started preschool! :) Henry took a special snack to school, and I was the parent of the day. ( I was there with the kids for a portion of the day to play with them.) Then we met Daddy for a birthday lunch downtown where Henry ate 2 HUGE slices of pizza...He is a growing boy!

We didn't plan a birthday party this year since we are in a rental, just moved here, etc...but boy did I feel bad when he was asking when his party was and when his grandparents will be here! He also said that he wanted his party out at Yaya's with Shadow the horse. Anyways, we made his day special, and he will have a few more celebrations when we have visitors the next few weekends! We did have a cake with a choo choo on it...it was his only request for his birthday! I don't think that he even realized he was going to receive presents! Our sweet neighbors came over and celebrated with us! It was fun! :) My favorite thing Henry said yesterday was, "I'm three, and me so excited its my birthday, but i a little sad i not two anymore." We are still working on pronoun usage, but he really is expressing himself and his emotions so well to me.

At age three, Henry's favorite things are:
Everything Thomas the train...his other favorites are Percy and Henry...he loves knowing all of their names!
His sister
School
Reading books and having Anna read books to him...it is amazing how long he will sit still when she reads to him!
New friends Max, Milo, Wesley and Ruby
Cutting with scissors, Painting and Coloring
Riding his trike SUPER FAST
Big Bruder Trucks
Swinging on the big kid swings
Look and find books

One of the funniest things that Henry has been doing lately is cheering for himself! I will hear him as he is doing all sorts of things saying, "Go Henry, go!" It is so funny...he even does it on the potty!

Kindergarten field trip to the pumpkin patch!






Wednesday we went on the kindergarten field trip to a pumpkin patch in Durham. It was so much fun, and luckily the rain held out until the very end. Anna had such a great time with all of her classmates and so did I!

Thomas the tank engine...

This past weekend we drove to Spencer, NC for a Day out with Thomas the Train. We had such a great time. I don't think that Henry has ever been so excited about something! Anna had a great time as well. We saw some of our friends there and all of the kids had a ball. Henry loved riding Thomas, but he didn't like the black smoke that he puffed out!

Anna rode a 5K

A couple of weekends ago, we did a 5K as a family! It was for a great charity, www.supercooperswagon.org, and we all had a ball. We were so proud of Anna for riding her bike the entire way! Henry was in the wagon...pulled by Chad! :) Then they played for hours afterwards...they had bounce houses, games, food, magicians, etc. They even had an awesome pearl jam tribute band and adult beverages on the green. We had a great afternoon and night, and then strolled home around 9pm! It was late, but so fun!
