O-fish-ally 3!


Robbie is three! He had a marvelous birthday. This year it fell on a Saturday so we were able to have the party on his birthday.  He had an absolute blast :D  Since he is obsessed with fish we went with a goldfish theme and he loved it of course.  It was a family party at the park and it was a beautiful day.

 The cake, cupcakes and marshmallow pops.


Robbie loved all of his gifts and had fun poking at his cupcake.  He wore himself out having fun with all his "cousins." He hardly stopped going the whole three hours! 


The most exciting thing about is captured in these two pictures!  For the first time ever Robbie played on the play ground equipment without prompting and in a proper manner!  He was able to maneuver the toddler playground all on his own!  Normally, when at a playground, Robbie will stay to himself and simply play in the mulch, sand, or dirt. It's very hard to get him to interact. This time from the moment the first kid arrived Robbie was interactive! Now granted a large part of his interacting was throwing mulch at others and this upset quite a few people, but Chet and I were thrilled because he was playing instead of staying to himself.  Given that his developmental age is 19 months I think it is what we can expect while he is learning to play with others (though we are working on teaching him more appropriate ways).  So he had a complete blast running around and throwing mulch and climbing and laughing and playing.  It was wonderful! 

One of Robbie's favorite gifts!
