Isaiah Turned 3

Happy Birthday to my big tall boy! Last week we celebrated Isaiah's B-Day. I feel bad that we didn't get out and do anything too special. Although I don't feel too bad because I felt sick and he still had a good birthday, so I guess it was all okay in the end. Since I wasn't feeling well we just stayed home and I spoiled him here instead! He got lots of juice and all his favorite treats (but not too many, because we had to leave a little room for cake!) He also got to spend forever watching his favorite videos and took a really long bubble bath. So we all had a pretty relaxing day. Then he helped me make his ice cream cake which he loved! We had over one of the families in our ward that are our good friends. I wanted to invite more, but we didn't have room for a huge party in our place and with Brooky having her surgery just the week before his birthday I didn't want to plan a huge party in case I wouldn't be able to pull it off. Now I am glad I didn't because I had that horrible cold and nausea! And what do you know the nausea was pretty much only there when it was time to eat the cake! :( Just glad no one else was sick or got sick! Also glad the Passmores joined us and I know Isaiah loved having them over to help open presents and eat the cake!

Enjoying his new play food! We go play shopping everyday now.

His facial expression shows how excited he was about this!

Another present

And another. This is one of his favorite parts, unwrapping the gifts.

Gathered around opening presents

He was so distracted by his new monster truck that he didn't want to open his other gifts. :)

I forgot to get pictures of the balloons I hung in his doorway. I put them up the night before his birthday so he would be surprised when he woke up! He loved that too! Wish I would have been feeling better so I might have taken a few more pics. Oh well. 

Can't believe my big boy is growing up so fast! He still loves watching videos and taking bubble baths. He loves playing with trucks and trains. And he is starting to like bugs. He kills the spiders for me and he actually let a lady bug crawl on him! He always likes looking for rolly polly bugs and lady bugs, because they are the nice bugs. Also he loves to pull all the snails off the walls around our apartment outside! He is starting to ask lots of questions and bossing me and his little sister around! Not good! He is always telling her to be quiet and to not do stuff or taking things away from her saying that she doesn't want them. But the worst is now he pretends that he can't do stuff that he can do and then he says, "Mom I need your help. Mom help me. Mom! Come help me right now! So now he is threatening me to help him or he will spank me! Silly kid. I have had to take a step back and re-evaluate my parenting skills and also make sure he knows he can't talk to me that way. Oh these kids sure keep me on my toes! But I love them!

Wow! I can't believe how old Zaya looks in these pictures! He is so funny. And kids are good at copying what we do an letting us know what we need to change. Ha. ha. :) I am constantly changing and fixing and changing my parenting again. Love you, Rach. hope you feel better, although you look pretty amazing in these pictures. :)
