Monkeys and Alligators: Levi's 3rd Birthday

 
 Oh...how is it possible that my baby boy is three (on Sunday)?  Levi is so full of life, energy, laughter, and light.  He's strong willed, yet quiet and reserved.  He is deeply loyal to those he gives his heart to.  He is verbal using words big words beyond his years.  He wants to be big like his brothers and do everything for himself.  It's been a busy week getting ready for the party!  We also worked on using the potty only because I told him he needed to learn in order to have his party.

Levi asked for a monkey and alligator party.  So I lucked up and found a book called Five Little Monkeys Sitting in a Tree about monkeys teasing an alligator! 

We made an alligator cupcake cake, and three little monkey cupcakes in a tree!



 Then we read the Monkey/Alligator book and sang the song by Dr. Jean under the jungle vines hanging from the ceiling.

 He loved his cupcake.
 When everyone was outside, he decided to stay in and play with his new toys.
Joel and a friend decided to get into a wagon and ride it all the way the hill and crash into the trees below.  Luckily no one got hurt bad. Joel just scratched up his side. 
 Here's Karis eating her birthday party peas.  Yummy!
