That evening Baker started to come around from a long birthday's nap and saw the gifts piled in front of the couch and it was ON!!! He start opening and playing and playing and playing and he got to stay up until midnight(well, he had slept ALL day). The next day he got several other birthday surprises including Thomas the Train cake(including Happy B'day sung by Mom and Dad) and an afternoon show of "Choo Choo Soul w/ Geniveve" at Alys Stephens Center(thanks for the tickets Heath). It ended up being a wonderful 3rd birthday. To this day, when I ask Baker about what his birthday was like he says, "Well Mama, it was in the gym and I threw up and went home and got to open lots of trains and had Thomas the Train cake and I love that Thomas the Train from my cake!" The toy train is a perk when you order from Publix.
Here are some pictures from the Birthday weekend:
Our church Gym is a great place to throw a party, but notice, no b'day boy.
A real Woody Cowboy Guitar from Mom and Dad. Let's tune it up!How pitiful...he just woke up from his first nap for the day.It's getting a little better and the new fake smile is coming out.By 11 pm Baker is really getting into the present thing and our entire den was the Island of Sodor!Let's P-A-R-T-Y!The cake made it home for an "after birthday celebration".The Little Engineer at Choo Choo Soul! Feeling much better.
Bless his big boy heart!! I know you had told me he was sick, but he looks so pitiful in those pictures!! so glad he ended up with a great time
