THREE!

I didn't get very far on this post. Let's revisit a month later....

Quick version: Nana, Grampy and Auntie Brannie came to visit on his birthday and Carson wore his Thomas shirt. I made him two: short sleeved and long sleeved and that worked out great. It was 90 degrees on his birthday and it was nearly 30 degrees colder for his party!!! CRAZY! But he got to wear both shirts!

So the giant train table was unmasked and was he excited! So funny, I'll have to see if my movie is small enough to post. He just loved having his own. He has an Imaginarium one that came with tracks. Nice quality and has two drawers. He keeps one open and stores trains there and can easily put them in and take them out.

We went out for Mexican for dinner and he got a Sombrero and they sang to him. No fear at all, went right along with the whole thing. He's such a confident little guy these days. He got punchy and silly near the end and enjoyed his birthday choco-taco! Ha!

BUT he had the biggest melt down that night. He had played trains all day but did NOT want to leave them. *sigh* He just screamed and screamed. I tried to nurse him down to sleep and what conflicted feelings he had towards me! He was SO angry at me, but so upset and needing my comfort. He went back and forth from screaming to nursing for about a half an hour. He fell asleep for a minute once and then woke up screaming again. When he finally crashed, I was so afraid he'd wake up screaming in the night, but he didn't. WHEW!

Poor bug. Such excitment is hard for them.

We had his party then and Theresa came first with a present and the two did well with exchanging, and opening and hugs after. Very sweet.

More Moms Club kids came. Bad weather, so we had to stay indoors. Carson didn't play with anyone unless they came upstairs to play with his train set!! The kids had a good time, all the different toys. I had sandwich fixings, drinks, and cupcakes for everyone and they brought sides. Carson loved his Thomas train with the coal and rock car cupcakes behind. He picked a rock car to eat, which was carrot cake with butter cream icing and butterscotch chips. The coal cars were Ghiradelli brownies with chocolate frosting and mini chocolate chips. I thought they were cute.
