Andrew's Big Day

Not only is today Andrew's first day of school, but it's also his 3rd birthday! Hooray!

We weren't sure what kind of cake to make him since he's really into robots right now, as well as trains, so we decided on the train for him. Gratefully, he really liked it!


He was thrilled with all of the fun presents he got & had lots of fun with his cousins & friends who came over. We're glad they were all able to come & help us eat this huge cake!


Some of Andrew's favorites right now are:
Food: Grapes
Song: The Train Song or The Duck Song
Color: Yellow
Animal: Butterfly (This changes by the minute.)
Toy: Trains
Things to do: Pretend to be "a big red, yellow, blue, or green, happy robot", or puppy, or kitty, or daddy, or dolphin, or train, or basically anything he thinks of & make you call him that thing. He will not answer to "Andrew" while he is in character. Help Mommy with anything. Follow Lexie & Joseph around & sleep wherever they are sleeping. Give hugs, kisses, & tickles to Rick (& everyone for that matter) before they leave. Color!

We sure love our Andrew boy. He's been a handful at times, but we've learned a lot because of him & are so grateful for him & the fun & joy he brings into our home. It would not be the same without him!

Yes, your cake is quite spectacular. I don't know if the train cake that we make this weekend will be as great, but we shall try. Fun post though...Andrew sure is a cutie. Of course all of your kids are, teeth or no teeth. :)

Thanks! Very carefully, Stephanie. If you come visit we'll make one for you. Bread pans & green bean cans are very helpful. Have so much fun, Janae. Can't wait to see the finished product. Spencer will love it!
