This year for Duffy's birthday we knew it wasn't going to be great warm weather so we decided to do an indoor birthday, and had a great birthday party at the bowling alley. We invited family and a few of Duffy's friends and their parents (our friends). Even Grandma and Grandpa "Great" came to join in the fun. We bowled, ate pizza, opened presents, played mini golf, and played the arcade games. Duffy even won the jackpot all by himself on one of the games and got over 1,000 tickets! He got a snake, RC car, treats, and a little thing for Maisy with all his tickets. He didn't really know it was a big deal but all of us were excited! He got some great, fun gifts also, thanks everyone! He loves all of them and Grandpa B was even spotted checking out the air compressor he got from Grandma O, he's just a kid at heart. It was a blast and Duffy hasn't stopped talking about it, he keeps asking when he's having another birthday.
One more thing about my big boy being 3: We had been telling him that the "binky fairy" would be coming to take all his pacifiers the night of his birthday, since that's when the dentist said we needed to do it by and I have had too many other things to deal with to do it before (big bed, potty training, etc.) plus it made it kind of a special occasion. So he got a dollar under his pillow for giving all of his binkies to other little boys who needed them (not really, I just threw them away!). He has been struggling a little bit with this, not so much at night, which was the only time he had it, but he steals Maisy's during the day and has been getting in trouble for it. One day my mom and sister were talking to him about being a big boy because he was three and he said to them "I don't want to be 3, take my 3 off of me!" If only it was that easy! I love him more and more every day, he is learning so many new things and is so smart. Again, I can't believe it's been three years but I hope the adventure keeps going just how it has been!
