Well this weekend wrapped up a month of celebrating that Mr. Man has officially turned 3!! Due to various family members visiting each weekend this month at different times, Liam has had the opportunity to celebrate his birthday every weekend (yes, that's 4 times!!) Because of this, we have come to learn that Liam HATES to have the birthday song sung to him. According to him, "it makes him angry." If you avoid that and just give him presents and cake, then he is fairly happy. :)
We began the first weekend with Uncle Bryan. It was our first weekend home from the hospital with little George, and Bry did a fab job of making Liam feel special and equiping him with the tools to help around the house:
The following weekend was celebrated with Papa and Grandmichaele. He got a Thomas ice cream cake (which he LOVED) and, amongst other things, a cash register and shopping cart which he totally adores. If you haven't yet, you have to check out the video of Liam opening the shopping cart on his video site....he was totally overwhelmed and it is one of the cutest things ever.
The 3rd weekend was his actual birthday. Friday, we had a party at school for him. I made him a Thomas cupcake cake (made of all cupcakes, but decorated as one big cake). Liam did not like all the attention on him, so he wasn't thrilled with the party itself and insisted on eating his cupcake at home.
That Saturday, we went to Cox Farms, which was a blast (we also took him there for his second birthday). Mimi and Tooey came and it was a great day all around:
On Sunday, we met Cousin Ben and family at the park for a train ride and time to play at the playground before heading home for presents:
This past weekend was spent with Mike. On Saturday, we went to the Air and Scare event hosted by the Air and Space Museum. Liam LOVED this as it involved airplanes and candy...what could be better. We could not get him to wear a costume, but he was able to trick or treat and check out lots of neat things:
Today was a big day because it was Liam's first road race. Taylor and I really like this 5K race near us (we ran it first in college) called the Goblin Gallop. Well, they have a kids fun run 1K for kiddos up to 12. While it took quite a bit of coaxing to get going since Liam got freaked by the crowd a bit, he finished the race and won his first medal:
All in all, I think October was a hit with Mr. Man. He was able to see all of his family and enjoy a really special month that will be hard to forget. It will be fun to see how he does with Halloween on Wednesday. They have a parade at his school, so we are praying he'll actually wear his costume. Either way, should be fun!!
Happy birthday, Baby Boy!!! Daddy, George, and I love you VERY, VERY MUCH!!!!
