After getting Karlie all better after spending 3 days at Scottish Rite Hospital with Pneumonia and 2 weeks recuperating at home, we were excited for a celebration! Luckily, we had Nathan's Birthday to look forward to. He turned 3 on July 13th, and as you can tell from the pictures, he is all about Transformers right now.
On the Saturday before his birthday, Daddy was going to take Nathan to see "Ice Age 3" in 3-D. When Nathan found out what movie they were going to, he burst into tears, saying "I just want to see Transformers 2!" With Mom and Dad not being so sure about sending a 3 year old to a PG-13 movie, he ended up settling on going to Burger King instead (since they had Transformers toys in their kids meals).
Nathan couldn't wait to have his birthday cake, so we ended up making it the Sunday evening before his birthday. I decorated the cake to his specifications, and then left it on the kitchen counter and went upstairs to take care of the baby--you would think I knew better! About 30 minutes later, I heard Brandon getting after Nathan, and Nathan crying. I went downstairs and discovered Nathan covered in chocolate frosting, and half of the cake demolished! I cleaned him up (without taking a picture first, dangit), and told him it was okay, that now it just looked like the transformers got in a battle on his cake.
Nathan's personality certainly showed through as he opened all of his Transformers-themed gifts. He thoughtfully inspected each one, and then he happily played with them for the rest of the day. Sure love that little boy!
