How to Train Your Dino!

Yep, thats my dino rider & thats me in the corner of the shot. I was adjusting the tail. Oh, I was a skeleton. 

At a Trunk or Treat with my mom. 

Before Trick or Treating 

My little Edward. Haha.

Three Years Old

Thats right. This last Tuesday my baby turned three! Seriously, where has the time gone?! We had a really fun friend party for him on Saturday. I'm so glad that all the kids got to come. He loves playing with his friends :) Here are some pictures of him on his Birthday: 

I'm three! 

 Cupcakes. Mummies, Ghosts & Spiders. I'm never doing this AGAIN!

Amir shares his birthday with his Auntie (my sister) I made good on my threats and had him on her 12th birthday! Muah ha ha!

Anyway, he's pretty much the cutest kid ever.


In other news! He had his well check today. He had his DTaP immunization. He was soooo good AGAIN and just said 'owe'. No crying, nothing! Not even a whine when I told him we had to go and had to stop playing with the toys in the waiting room. Could this be a sign of the year to come?!?!! I hope so! *Knock on wood*

Magnets

I had some extra stickers laying around from last years calendar so I decided to make some "back to school" magnets with them. I'm really excited to use them next year when Amir starts school! I'm also making some halloween/fall themed for my brother in England. They turned out so well that I think I'll keep making them for every holiday. I love them!

Materials used: Mod Podge, Clear accent gems, Construction paper, Stickers, Magnetic strip

This Summer has had many firsts for Amir... Here are a few pictures to go along with those firsts. :)

First time getting to the top (without walking up the slide)

First time going down the slide after going up the ladder by himself. 

First time camping.

First time playing the matching game alone, successfully.

First time falling asleep while (partially) standing.

So there you have it. All my boys summer 2010 firsts. :) He's growing up fast. He will be 3 years old in a month!
