Cooper turns 3

Yes - he turned 3 a little less that 2 months ago. Right on time for a post don't you think?
Cooper had LOTS of birthday celebrations, so lets start with the school party. We had a celebration at school where we had a birthday entertainer come into his class and do magic tricks, play games, balloon animals all with a Thomas the Train theme. Needless to say Cooper and his class for that matter loved it! He still will ask every so often if he gets a party at school today. To which I quickly remind him, birthdays are once a year! What really shocked me is that the entertainer, or train engineer as Cooper referred to him as, was there for an hour. Those kids were in awe of everything he did. They sat still for 30 minutes straight (with cupcakes just sitting in front of them!). I was so impressed. The last 30 minutes we spent dancing and putting on fake tattoos the engineer had given to all the kids. It really was an awesome day!

We then celebrated with a special birthday dinner (spaghetti) and birthday cake at home. This is where he got to see his new train table. While this "table" is an eye sore in my living room, he absolutely loves it. There is not a day that goes by that he doesn't play with it. So birthday success!

And for the third and final party, we had our families come to celebrate with a Clemson theme football party. Do you all know how hard it was for me to decorate with orange and purple? PAINFUL! But it was his day, so orange and purple it was. Everyone had a great time and Cooper loved seeing and playing with everyone.

I really can't believe I have a 3 year old. He is constantly reminding me that he is not a baby anymore, but we all know he will always be a baby to me. Love you Cooper!

Here are some pictures of the birthday boy!

Good morning birthday boy!
