It's amazing how fast time goes by. We just celebrated Micah's 3rd birthday. And after having a few birthday's for his siblings we as parents have learned a few things along the way. We decided instead of inviting everyone we know....to just have a few friends over with their kids for cake and ice cream. Micah didn't seem to care that we weren't having the biggest, coolest party ever. He was so excited just to have a party at all. I suppose this is characteristic of his nature. The grocery store didn't have a "Backyardigans" cake as requested....so we went with the Spiderman theme. He was pretty excited about his cake. For a couple of weeks we had been asking him what he wanted for his birthday. His reply every time was "a rocket ship," man kids pay attention to commercials. He was referring to Disney's little einstein rocket he had seen on tv. I normally would have no qualms with getting him the only toy he wanted. However, when I went to buy it I sat their pondering whether or not I should buy it because it was pricey....and I hate having to spend money on toys. But after much deliberation I decided I would buy it for him...because it was the only thing he had been asking for for weeks. It was worth every penny seeing how excited he was when he opened it. He has been obsessed with it for the past couple of days.....we'll see how long it lasts.

Happy Birthday! you did the right thing on the rocket ship! :)
I agree, I would rather do one quality gift than a few that they care less about.
Also, after Colton's big party, we decided that Christopher is going to have a nice mild party! It wore me out!
