We spent the first half of our spring break in pursuit of cake. Duncan turned 3 on March 13 and had no fewer than 4 separate birthday celebrations. (I think this may be why he is 3 going on 30 - if he averages 4 birthday celebrations for each birthday, that would make him 12 in party years, which doesn't even begin to approach 30, but it's an equation still under development). On his actual birthday, Duncan awoke to his big gift, an old-school, classic, Radio Flyer tricycle, complete with helmet. He declared it "the bicycle I ALWAYS wanted" and took a few turns around the living room with his introductory pedaling skills. He headed off to daycare, where he had a cupcake party (banana with cream cheese frosting), and after school he opened the rest of his presents, ate pizza, and devoured ANOTHER cupcake. The next morning we headed up to Albany to celebrate with Nana and Poppy and Lorna, Vernon, and Colin. We took a birthday trip to the children's museum and took in a space movie at the planetarium. Back at Nana and Poppy's house, we had a party with a Blue's Clues cake and...wait for it...more presents! Yay presents! The following weekend, Grandma and Grandpa and Paul came to visit. Duncan, Paul, and Jamie took a birthday trip to Kids' Time while I finished the cake. Later in the afternoon, we enjoyed a smorgasbord of pizza followed by chocolate cake and...more presents! Duncan had a great time sharing his birthday, and we thank everyone for their continued love and support.
P.S. Duncan also had a BLAST with his Chicken Dance card from Baby Ben. I'll try to upload some video of that as well.
