So, I was wrong. In my last post, I said that I was over getting presents. That really wasn’t the case at all. When people came over to celebrate my birthday, I loved it! At first, I hid in the basement for a bit, watching a movie that Grandma Cheryl had given me. But then Dad brought me upstairs and I stayed upstairs for the rest of the afternoon playing with everyone.
Riley and I went outside and played in the yard a bit with Dad. But then when we came in, I started getting really excited. When everyone sang to me, I was kind of surprised. I am usually the one doing most of the singing, so when everyone else started, and it was clear that they were singing Happy Birthday to me, I looked around and was so happy! Then I blew out my candle, had a bit of my cheese cake cupcake, and got down to the business of upwrapping my gifts.
Each time I opened a new gift or card, I said “Oh, wow!” or “Oh, cool!” The faces that I made were priceless. Mom and Dad caught some of them on camera, so check out the pictures posted for December. I got a big, wood truck from my girlfriend Nicole, a tracksuit from Pop-pop, light-up race cars from Ann, a floor puzzle from Uncle Tom and Aunt Doris, a generous check from Great Grandma Betty, and Riley and I each got a coloring book and markers and fingerpaints from Grandma Cheryl. Grandma Cheryl also gave me a card that sand the theme song from the movie Cars, and I kept opening it and asking people to dance with me. Once I was all done opening gifts, I went around to each person and said “Kiss?” to thank them.
Then, the next day, I got some wonderful gift from our nanny, Elaine. She got us all a stacking block set that we had demolished a few months back, and also she got me a little computer that teaches me my numbers and how to draw them. So perfect!
Thanks to everyone who made my third birthday so special!
Love,
Emmett
