The birthday festivities started the night before as we made cupcakes for school. Cooper really enjoyed this. He mixed the different colored frostings and loved putting on the sprinkles on. He really likes to do most cooking/baking activities. Isabel isn't as interested yet, but she did like to help with the sprinkles.
Cupcakes for school
The Birthday Boy!!!!
We had a pizza party that night with (most of) the Leggetts, Roys, and Sargents. All of the Viriginia relatives and Grumma and Grampa Gogo were greatly missed! Cooper was a great sport as he tolerated Isabel starting to open most of his gifts before he did (notice the little hand grabbing away)!
I think the funniest part of the whole birthday process was then morning after when Cooper came up to me crying saying "Can I be 3 again?" I asked why and he said "I don't like being 4!" Like I said before, Cooper's not much for new things. He likes his comfort zone! We'll see if he decides he likes being 4 before he turns 5!
yay! i was so hoping for a birthday blog update! love the picture of isabel and coop with the balloons at the door, clearly screaming in delight! looks like fun. sad to have missed it. does he at least like the spider man shirt? maybe if you can break him into that, he'll decide to get on the bike too!
ReplyDeleteYes, spider man shirt came the next day in the mail. He indeed loves it! It has already been worn, but did nothing to help encourage the bike!
ReplyDeleteVery funny post! I think it's a first child thing, Jenn. Ryan (as I was and I think Ethan too) is maybe not quite as apprehensive to try new things as Cooper, but he's close. He is very cautious about new things too. He'll get there at his own pace. :) Glad he had a fun birthday regardless.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day! I really can't believe he is already 4! Those cupcakes look delicious!
