Uncle Jon and grandma came over for dinner. We BBQ'd veggie shishkabobs and chicken. Yum! Decker ate lots of chicken and rice. We all threw our webs...
Decker got these green glasses that light up and blink. They were quite the hit.
Dad came home with balloons of all Decker's favorite characters. Elmo, Batman, Scooby do, Nemo, Thomas the Tank Engine, Lightning McQueen and of course, Spiderman!
Uncle Jon and Decker giving knuckles and blowing it up. :)
After Decker opened grandma's present and put on his new Lightning McQueen jammies.
Thank you for all the phonecalls and well wishes for our little 3 year old!
I've posted videos on youtube of all the nights events...mostly Decker opening presents, since some were not able to be here, Videos 1 - 7:
On this special day I had everyone brainstorm about some of the things we want to remember about Decker at this age. This is in no way a complete list. :)
Grandma loves his accent when he talks.
How he's so excited to fly to Vegas on an airplane and then falls asleep.
When we took him to see CARS 2, he slept through 3/4 of the movie.
He sleeps all night.
He's been potty trained since December 2010. In the last month, he no longer wears diapers to bed.
How he says the opposite of everything we say.
Loves to see the moon in the sky and can find it day or night.
Grandma loves to go shopping with Decker at Costco. The first thing they do is find a book for Decker to read while there.
When we're driving in the car, he really pays attention to where we are. He asks if we're going to Home Bepo- (Depot) or the car wash, the church, Jo Jo's, and hates to pass the gas station on 116th, because he wants to go to Grandma's.
He likes to follow Daddy around outside and help him in the yard with the dirt and tools.
He likes to unplant our garden, and pull the rake through.
He always liked to know who was parked in our driveway and would name everyone's cars. He kept track of who was coming and going. --Just like his dad.
He started to sing when he was 2 years and 10 months old. --I've been wanting him to sing with me for a long time and he would fill in the blanks, but never the complete phrases. Then one night I heard him singing, "Rock abye baby". I had no idea he knew the song. Now he likes to sing the "Spiderman", "ABC's", "Eentsie Weentsie Spider".
He has his own stool that travels around the kitchen to where he'll need it...to wash his hands or clean the sink, help me cook, get in the cupboards or on the counter.
He loves to be pushed on the swing, I'm still trying to teach him to pump on his own.
He learned when Cody came into this world, that as I was feeding Cody it was the perfect opportunity for him to get into things...into trouble mostly.
He wants to where his Spiderman Sandals to church and one Sunday escaped from Nursery to the outside, the nursery leaders were close behind him though.
Likes to read books and he loves his Cars Book, spiderman books, Goodnight Moon has always been a favorite.
His favorite movies are How to Train a Dragon, Toy Story, Cars, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
His favorite color is green.
His favorite food is waffles.
