Jake turns the big THREE tomorrow! It’s so crazy that so many of you have been watching him grow since birth! I remember doing a birth date pool over at NDND when I was pregnant with him. But… time flies and here we are! All that Jake has been asking about for months is having a “Bad Guy Party”. I translated this to mean Superhero Day as he is obsessed with all things super lately!
So, in the complete opposite fashion of Abby’s elaborate Frozen Party we set out to make his dreams come true today. We let the kids get all dressed up in whatever they wanted. Abby chose her favorite Kids Fly Too dress, a Paper Wings cape and a pair of Chuck Taylors that I souped up with some gold H&M shoe wings. Jake turned down the planned Spiderman costume and opted for his Iron Man Pajamas from the Disney Store and a pair of Livie and Luca shoes. We got in on the fun too with Matt wearing a batman shirt, Cousin Chris in Captain America and Aunt Lindsay at Superwomen. I went all in with a pair of Batman Pants that I found at H&M last week!
OUR DAY
I got up with Jake at dawn. We talked about how it’s his last day being two and how great three is going to be. It’s funny because now that I am not on the computer first thing in the morning I am really cherishing that one on one time with him before everyone else gets up. We did round one of candles and singing. Then we hit up the gym early and church but after that it was full on Super! We all got decked out and went out for a nice brunch. After Jake chose to go to the playground where we fought bad guys (thanks Aunt Lindsay). Then the universe fully aligned and we saw a giant Spiderman bounce house down the street. We hurried over and played, played, played.
I don’t know who feels more SUPER today…. me or Jake.
Because I was one blessed mom today watching the smiles on his face.
And this here is proof that you can celebrate in so many ways. Some times call for a big party and others just for some Target t-shirts and a pair of Batman pants.
The only thing you really need is love and each other.
Sounds amazing! Can’t wait to see pictures!
