COLIN'S 3rd BIRTHDAY PARTY!
December 20, 2008

Colin decided he wanted a Superman party at Gynboree for his third birthday. I have to say, I am very impressed with Gymboree! Here is Colin being "launched" into a tube.


Then they pulled him along in an inner tube and he insisted to have his butt in the air!


It was bubble time...and Gymboree has the best bubbles! They are tiny and long lasting!


Then it was cake time! Can you believe this was the cake that was included with the Gymboree party!?!?! I was totally amazed!


Colin decided to blow out the candles even before we finished singing to him!


After cake, Colin became obsessed with carrying around as many of these balls as he could.


And when he was tired of carrying them around on his own, he enlisted the help of an unsuspecting person to hold them for him!


AFTER THE PARTY!
Well, we had SUCH a wonderful time at the party. As we were in the midst of things I just took a look around and said to myself "Wow, we have come a long way since we moved here. We have a wonderful group of local friends." But all good things must come to an end. When we got home from the party, the boys were playing (with Aaron and Wilson since the Bullions were staying the night). All of a sudden Colin was crying and bleeding a BUNCH from his mouth. He had taken the telescoping arm of the kids microphone and stuck the open end into his mouth. It was like a pipe in his mouth and it somehow got pushed into his upper soft pallatte. It looked pretty bad so we took him to the ER as a precaution. Here he is sucking on a cold cloth (which seemed to make him feel better) and playing Dylan's Leapster.


We were not quite sure what this room is...but Jonny thought it would be funny to walk into this room just to be able to say "I am in sane."


Colin was really good and, I have to say, that the whole ER experience was very pleasant (as pleasant as it could be) and we were out of there within 90 mins. Colin even got a popsicle to suck on....although he refused to hold it.


This looks MUCH better than it did when it happened...but you can get the jist.

Hi Carrie,

Just as Colin (and Dylan), our boys also have a similar game console. They love it just as much as Colin in the pictures... I recognize the look of total concentration...(or should I say "obsession") :-)
