We forgot to take a photo of the cake top-down. Which is probably best; it was a homemade cake which looked… really home made. But I rmember my mom making me a pony shaped cake when I was litle, so I was going for something like that. Why did we only have two candles? I guess I was thinking “One for each boy”. But… I really don’t know why I decided that. Next year they’ll get extra candles. I promise.
It takes a village of three year olds to blow candles out!
Levi’s sugar coma kicked in after just one bite of cake.
Milo never really gets sugar comas. After this cake was nearly gone, he asked for, and got, a cupcake too! Note the goth looking lips… I made black frosting for the wheels on the truck and the guys insisted on eating the wheels. It was adorable.
As most of you guys know, we went to Disneyland for the boys’ pre-birthday week. It was amazing. they rode on nearly every ride and played on everything! These photos don’t begin to tell how delightful it was.
We’re already booking our travel for they boys’ fourth birthday next year!
Yesterday was my birthday and, coincidentally, the boys have just started to really enjoy singing “happy birthday”. Levi particularly, will ask to sing it in bed as his nite-nite song. He sings to Mommy, Daddy, Milo, Levi and then others include NanaBappo (as one word), Nonnie, Jen, Tammy, Manny, Uncle Steve, Auntie E, Nora, Thomas and many others. So, they happily agreed when I asked them for an encore so I could record it. Unfortunately the videos are sideways and I don’t know how to change it. So… anyway. Enjoy!
Milo goes first
Levi’s turn
And both guys go for the encore. A little oddly blurry, unfortunately.
The boys turned 20 months old yesterday. And our fabulous Nanny, Tamaryn, made a sign with lots of help from Milo. He is responsible for all the colors on the sign; quite the artist, no?
Ok, we may be 20 months old, but really, what toy do you have over there, Levi?Huh? Wha? Ungh.
Milo looooves Tamaryn!
They are learning loads of new words lately. Well, Levi is anyhow. He has recently picked up “Meow, door, no, yeah, and woah!” Thankfully, he has not learned what “no” actually means. He just says it sometimes. Milo knows that a cat says “Meow”, a firetruck says “woo-ooo-ooo” and that a dog says “woof woof”. He also knows “me”, but we think it means “more” to him.
