So much to do, so little time

Alex already had two birthday celebrations- a weekend party with family and friends, and a second little party with another set of alligator cupcakes at school- so we didn't plan anything for his actual birthday except to save one present to give him on his birthday.

In spite of that, it turned out to be a very cool day.

Here's what Alex did on his birthday:

-Wake up at 5:30am for no explainable reason (except that you can do a lot of things in a day when you wake up that early)
-Cuddle with Mommy on the couch
-Play with Daddy before work
-Have blueberry pancakes with whipped cream smiley face
-Go swim with "Mr. Judd" (swim lesson)
-Have a pizza picnic with Mommy on the front porch while Josh slept in the car
-Help the GE repair man fix the water dispenser on the fridge
-Have a second lunch with BeBe and Poppa J
-Drive remote control cars in the hangar
-Drive and operate a real little yellow digger with Poppa J!!
-Watch a helicopter land
-Pull the wagon down the street (with Poppa J and Josh in it!)
-Feed carrots to a horse
-Blow bubbles outside
-Sneak an ice cream cone before dinner while Mommy took a nap
-Drop spaghetti all over the place while eating dinner in a tired daze and not get yelled at once
-Take a bath with Josh and brush his teeth with Poppa J
-Make himself a bed on Mali's bed complete with mattress pad, pillow and comforter and fall asleep in happy exhaustion an hour past his bedtime
