Pudge

Late Nights

Pudge seems to be going through a phase right now where he does NOT want to sleep. No naps, No bedtime. So after a few nights of being up most of the night with him and then having to wake up early with Pequeño, I brought him into my room to fall asleep. Obviously, it was not a solution for instant sleep. There was lots of giggling and him sticking his feet in my face saying "stinky toes!". I can't wait for this phase to be over... This momma needs her sleep!

Valentines

The kids decided that they wanted to give bubbles with their valentines this year so we started making them today. Pudge was very excited to pick which bubbles went in each bag and which tag I would tie on. He got to use the hole punch for most of the foam heart but then decided that he wanted to run around like a madman in his bandanna (made from one of our cloth napkins). 

Drummer Boy

Pudge got a drum set from Aunt N & Uncle B for Christmas and he LOVES it!

Here's a comparison:

Happy Birthday Pudge!

Our little Pudge is 3!

Last night we decorated his door with balloons and party banners so that when he oped the door this morning he would have a balloon avalanche. The whole time that we were decorating it, Papa was saying "I hope that Pequeño doesn't wake up in the night needing something!".

 

Luckily, they slept through the night and in the morning it was a big hit. Pudge always bangs on his door when he wants to get out so as soon as we heard him, we ran to the hallway (Little Bear too) and said "Come on out buddy. You can open the door." It took a few second but he finally opened it and was so surprised when the balloons started falling around him. It was so sweet because as soon as he realized what it was, he started yelling "BaWoons!"  He decided that he wanted to bring all of the balloons downstairs so one by one he pushed them all through to the other side. We tried to convince him to run through the ribbons and told him that it's just like running through a finish line. He didn't want to ruin it and kept saying "NO, no ruin my finishline!". Then he tried to climb out without ripping any of the paper ribbons.

 

Eventually, he agreed to rip just the bottom ones and came out. Pequeño was awake and really excited at this point because he knew something was going on so we got him out of his crib and he ran to play will the balloons as well. 

 

 Downstairs, the dining room had been decorated in pirate theme since Pudge loved Jake and the Neverland Pirates.

We spent the morning at a playgroup event and brought a monster shaped cake there to celebrate. Then in the evening, we had dinner, his Jake and the Neverland Pirate cake, and he opened his presents.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PUDGE!

Leaves!

We stopped at the park after preschool today and let the kids play in the leaves. Pequeño wasn't too sure about them but Pudge loved them!
