Korben's 3rd Birthday

On February 19, 2011 at 6:27pm, Korben turned 3 years old! Since we had already had his birthday party the previous week, I tried to make his actual birthday as special as possible. The day before, I went to Kroger and let him pick out either a birthday cake or some cupcakes for us to enjoy the next day. He insisted on getting the Sponge Bob cupcakes! He's only seen the show on TV a couple of times but he still likes the character. I myself am not a huge Sponge Bob fan but it was Korben's birthday cake and since that's what he wanted, that's we got! That night (the night before his birthday), I made a few birthday signs and colored a couple of his giant Toy Story pages so it looked like the characters were wishing him a happy birthday. Then I set out the cupcakes on the table with a few balloons. When Korben woke up the next morning and came down stairs, he was really excited to see everything. Josh and I sang Happy Birthday to him and we all had cupcakes for breakfast before Josh had to go to work.

After Josh left, we watched a couple of Korben's favorite shows (Umizoomi and Diego) and then headed to Chick-fil-A for lunch. After Korben got enough play time in, we headed home to take a nap. As soon as nap time was over, we headed to Toys R Us to spend some birthday money that Korben had gotten. He ended up getting an Imaginext Batman cave, a Thomas scooter, and a Mickey's playground set thing. He couldn't wait to get home to play with his new toys! When Josh got home later that night, we headed to CiCi's Pizza for some dinner and games. We came home, played some more and finally went to bed at 10:30 (an hour and a half past K's regular bed time)!! It was a really good day and Korben loved having an entire day devoted to him!

Time to sing "Happy Birthday!"

Who needs hands to eat cupcakes??

The Batman cave

He LOVES his Thomas scooter! Every time we go to the park now, he insists on riding his scooter on the way!

The day after Korbens birthday, Pops took everyone out to dinner at Kyoto. Korben only wanted to eat rice, but loved watching the chef cook! Thanks for a great dinner, Pops!

So interested. When the chef flicked a piece of broccoli into Josh's mouth, Korben laughed so hard! He really liked all of the chef's "tricks!"

He even got to use some chopsticks and actually preferred them over the fork!

And he did a pretty good job at using them, too!

I still have a few pictures from the birthday party to post, so hopefully I'll get to that soon!
