Happy Birthday to Ian!



Finley got to go to a friend's 4th birthday party two weeks ago. It was very fun. Finley's only been to a few birthday parties so it's still a big deal. The theme was "robots" and Ian's mom made this very cool robot. Ian's dad took a picture of each child with the robot when they arrived and then sent us the print. It was very cute. Ian's dad came up with all these simple but totally engaging games for the kids. He dressed up in a really fun Hawaiian shirt and a rainbow clown wig too! They played drop the clothes pins in the jar, Pin the Tail on the Donkey and "Balloon Calisthenics"; hard to explain, but fun! We got Ian a robot/space wooden puzzle, some plastic animal parts that you can put together to make all sorts of animals and wierd creatures and two rubber snakes. It was a very fun party. Finley cracked us up with his assessment of the party's success: While all the kids were sitting at the table having cake and ice cream, we were remarking on how nice it was that everyone was getting along and enjoying the day. Finley said, "This is fun, Mom. And I didn't hurt anyone!"
