My baby turned three last weekend. He is growing up into a little man. I can't believe how fast 3 years have gone by. We had a fun filled weekend planned for the little man. On Friday night we took him to his first baseball game. He loved being at the game and eating all the food - we instituted Papa's philosophy, keep the food coming. Owen had a pretzel, hot dog, cracker jacks and peanuts. Needless to say he needed a bathroom break after all that. Andy took him and was helping him clean up and Owen leans over and starts to look at the guy in the next stall. Andy said "Owen we don't do that." Both Owen and Eli made it to the 7th inning stretch. After we sang take me out to the ball game we sat down, Owen put his head on my shoulder and I asked him are you ready to go and he said "Yes Momma". He was asleep before we left DC.
On Saturday I woke up early to finish frosting his cupcakes. He had requested cupcakes and that they were basketballs and soccer balls. He woke up around 7:30 and came down to see a table full of presents and decorated in a sports theme. He was so excited! We then got ready to leave to go to the National Zoo. We picked up Grandma and Grandpa on the way. On the way over to Grandma and Grandpa's house Mimi and Papa called to wish him a happy birthday. He was so grown up in the backseat talking to them and sitting in his new booster seat - officially out of the car seat. Also to help his day be the best that it could he road the Metro in with Dada and Grandpa, while the rest of us drove to the Zoo. He was so excited he couldn't contain himself! We met them at the Zoo and he loved seeing all the animals. He loved the Panda Bear the best and we were lucky enough to get a picture of Owen "next" to the Panda Bear. His cousins Andy and Rochelle joined us at the Zoo.
We then headed home and Owen opened his gifts when got home. We used the webcam to connect Mimi and Papa. He loved all of his gifts and he was very spoiled. He got puzzles, bridges for his train, books, a desk made by Grandpa, a wooden Soccer ball made by Grandpa, markers and chalk for an easel and a dinosaur. He played with his puzzles for a long time. Then we watched the movie Cars and he enjoyed the movie but was more focused on playing with his train bridges. We had pizza for dinner and then he had his cupcakes for birthday cake. He had a really great day and was so sad when we put him to bed. He didn't want to stop playing with his new toys! All in all he had a great day!
