3 Years!

Well yesterday my little boy turned 3! Three
years ago we were in the hospital holding our little newborn and now I'm chasing this little boy all over the house. It's so amazing how he's grown. Yesterday N, M and I went up to the mall so Ncould make a Build-A-Bear. Grandma and Papa meet us there so they could give N his present and spend sometime with him. He got his V.Smile system, more on that in a bit. So we had lunch then it was off the build a bear. Since we had the coupon we let N pick which ever one he wanted even the most expensive would be half off, plus we were saving up for this trip. What did he pick the most expensive a cheetah, go figure. The lines there were silly they had one girl filling the animals and 4 lady's on the registers. Which if you ask me they should have had 2 filling, the check out wasn't that bad. Anyways, N got pretty board so by the time we got to fill his cheetah he really didn't want to do the whole heart thing. For all of you who haven't gone there they do this little "dance and saying" with a heart that then goes into the animal before it's stuffed.

You're suppose to....
Rub the heart and give it a wish
put it to your knee
put it to your arm
put it to your head
then jump up and down and turn around

Each step does something, but I wasn't really listening to that I was trying to get N to do the movement. We got half way and I just told the girl forget it he wasn't interested and I wasn't about to worry about it. After that we went to pick out and outfit for the cheetah, but of course the wonderful bear car was still sitting on the floor like it was 6 months ago and N wanted nothing but the car. The thing is $30 I'm not about to pay that for some stuffed car that I know as soon as we get home he will not play with. So Mommy just picked out a tank and swim shorts. I was going to get M's bear a new outfit, but N wasn't really listening to well after I told him no car, that we just paid and left. I didn't even do the Cheetah's birth form! After that Mommy got her Gloria Jeans!!! I miss them so much! Then N got to play in the play area for a while. Then it was back home. Hubby got off early so he got to spend time with N which was nice.

Here is N and his Cheetah

N Giving Cheetah a Kiss

N finally got to play his V.Smile last night. He really seems to like it. I just have to find the games that are easiest till he get the hang of it. He played a little tonight too, and was doing pretty good. The only thing is I have to sit right by him and "play" with him(encouraging him helping him in which way to go) so I started to just ask him questions and "make" him do more work. So by the end he was happy as long as I was there watching him when he did something right (ie go the correct direction or jump).
