Chuck E. Cheese Birthday Party

Andrew had his fourth birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese yesterday, and it was one of the best parties we have had to date (with so many under our belt-ha). The atmosphere was perfect for kids his age, and they staff at Chuck E. Cheese did such a great job with the party. Just looking at the pictures and videos makes me want to cry. I just don't want to see him grow up TOO fast. :) When I tell him I'm going to keep him 3 forever, he tells me not to worry, because he is going to give me hugs every day forever. Sigh.

Lorikeets

Andrew and I went to see the lorikeets at the Nicholas Conservatory, and it was quite the experience! The birds land on you, and you can feed them nectar from a cup. I was a strange feeling to have them actually on you, and I was getting a little anxious to get out of there after about 10 minutes. Andrew wasn't really having it, and was trying to squat on the floor, so they wouldn't land on him.

A lady asked if I wanted her to take my pic, and this is what it looked like....

Andrew's Lil' Dunkers Class

Last week, Andrew started his basketball class for 3 and 4 year olds. Mike and I were actually in Vegas for the weekend, so Marcia took Andrew to his first class. She said was a little hesitant and stood on the sidelines until the end. Once class was over, he decided to hit the floor for a few shots. It's not unusual for him to feel out his surroundings before getting involved. This weekend, Mike and I took him, and he was already feeling more comfortable. He did all the drills and even played a short game (if that is what you want to call it!). We were really proud of him for getting out there. Whenever he sticks his tongue out, we know he is happy!
