Brayden's 1st Day of 3 year old Preschool

Mommy's prayer this morning  "Praying for no tears from Mommy or Brayden, he takes a nap, behaves himself, and doesn't end up in the directors office like last year...is that too much to ask for? :)"
We did pretty well!  Mommy got teary-eyed when Brayden cried a bit when we were leaving- but I knew he would stop quickly and his teacher said he did.  No nap, but he did lay down quietly and was ALMOST asleep, says Mrs. Tracy, he behaved himself perfectly, no potty accidents, went all by himself, did great in music class, and didn't end up in Mrs. Karen's office!  Yeah!

Brayden's 3rd Birthday- Real BirthDAY and Family Party

For the past 2 years we have woken Brayden up with a room full of balloons and singing Happy Birthday...because he got to bed so early, he beat both of us up and was at our bedside before we heard him...so we just sang Happy Birthday then. 

We headed off to church with our birthday boy and he was surprised to find that Mrs. Mandy let the kiddos sing Happy Birthday to him during sunday school and he wore a king crown!  Thanks Mrs. Mandy- you made his day! 

Brayden got to choose where we went for lunch after church, and his choice was "the sausage place" - which means Spring Creek BBQ where we also get free bluebell ice cream after we eat :) 

We headed home for a nap and the he woke up to find a house full of his family ready to celebrate his birthday!

 New blowup trampoline jumpy thing

 Kelbie loved it as well!

 Aunt La was the only one who fit inside- so she had kiddo duty :)

 Opening gifts

 These are the neatest toys...Imaginext toys- they detect each other within 10 feet in a room and talk, roar, sing, converse together!

 Brayden's Brontosaurus cake :)  Not exactly how they really looked- but he LOVED it! And Mommy had fun making it!
