I cannot believe my baby turned THREE!! This little boy continues to astound and amaze me- his zeal for learning, music and adventure, his love of life, his goofy, happy spirit, his sharp and inquisitive mind, his artistic ability, his sweet and tender heart - he is truly such a remarkable person to me and I feel like the luckiest mama in the entire world to get to call him mine. What a privilege! He has truly taught me so much and inspires me on a daily basis to be a better person. Words cannot even begin to express how full my heart is with love for this little man. I wish he could stay this small forever.
I have been so proud of all that Beckam has learned this last year. He knows all of his numbers from 1-20 and his entire alphabet. He knows the sounds of many of the letters and can legibly write about 10 of them. He asks me everyday if we can do "Preschool" (I do my own little preschool with him at home since he was only 2 1/2 at the start of the school year. We do workbooks, reading, arts and crafts, and music). He has a unique fondness for music that has exhibited itself since he was a baby. He LOVES listening to all kinds of music, asks frequently to watch symphonies, musicians and particularly The Piano Guys on Youtube while he pretends to play various instruments and can tell you the name of almost any instrument. He continues to show a remarkable adeptness for drawing. This is one of my favorite things he has drawn this year. It's our family (Daddy, Mommy, Beckam and Haiya):
If there is one thing that sums up his passion and interest during this last year though it would probably have to be Superheros! I am pretty sure he spent the majority of his second year of life wearing a cape, whether it was to the grocery store, the park or to bed. We have at least 5 costume changes a day between his Wolverine, Flash, Spiderman and now Batman costumes. And he has quite the growing collection of mini superhero figures.
One of my favorite things is whenever he is helpful or does something kind for somebody (like helps me throw something in the trash or gives his crying sister a toy) he jumps up in the air and yells "Superhero saves the day!" He is certainly my superhero - that's for sure!
So for his 3rd Birthday there was no better fitting theme than an all-out Superhero party!!
To see his face light up when I started to decorate for the party was worth every minute of my planning and preparation. He kept gasping and pointing and getting so excited. You would have thought I was the mom of the year haha! #soeasytoplease ;)
I asked him to give me his "BEST Batman face!" and this is what I got:
Beckam was so excited to have some of his besties come to his party! A major shout out to Luke, Jonah, Paul and Brian for making his party so fun!!
And of course to baby sister who made an excellent Batman :)
A peek at our set-up:
While everyone enjoyed pizza we also had the kids make superhero shields (using paper plates) and pick their favorite mask to wear.
It was fun to see which identity everyone wanted to be :)
After Pizza and shield decorating we all went outside and hit the pinata!
These little guys were awesome at hitting the pinata haha- we had to help them out after a little while and break it open or we might have been there all day before they got it to break haha- but in the end all that mattered was that they got the candy!!
Afterwards we came inside and sang "Happy Birthday" to Beckam and let him blow his candles out. We had to re-light them halfway through the song because he got too impatient and blew them out. It's the best part of a birthday after all, amiright?!
Beckam got some awesome presents from his cute friends which they all had a blast playing with, and Beckam handed out his little party favors.
They had this tag on them and inside was a Batman blower, a Spiderman frisbee, an Avengers notepad and a pack of crayons.
Thanks to all who came and helped make our little Superhero's birthday one to always remember!
