Andrew turns 3 and the Bday curse of 2012

Andrew turned 3 this week!  The night before his birthday, he woke up 5 times crying because there were boogers in his nose.  Yup, you guessed it.  Andrew was sick for his birthday too. Ugh.  He actually woke up in the morning in a pretty good mood and opened his present from us and from his godmother.  He was happy and excited about all of them!  Then, as the day progressed, his mood seemed to deteriorate quite a bit.  He developed a fever by the afternoon and was pretty whiny and miserable.  Luckily, we're having a party to celebrate their birthdays later this month, so they'll have time to get sick again healthy for that!

Here are some pictures from Andrew's Birthday:

Our gift to him--his first bike!

A real hard hat from Aunt Faith!  Now he won't have to wear a colander on his head anymore!

Puzzles of construction trucks from Aunt Faith!

A tool belt from Aunt Faith!!

A very happy Andrew the Builder--thanks to a wonderful godmother!

Then, it got closer to lunch time and things really deteriorated.  I believe these tears were because I set the macaroni and cheese he didn't want too close to him on the table.

After nap, Andrew the Builder needed to rest for a while.

After his rest, Andrew the Builder decided to try out his new bike to ride from project to project:

Later that night, Andrew got to have a birthday cupcake.  He was a little confused about why B and I got to eat one too since it was his birthday.  

Pretty tough to keep that pinky down to show us he's 3!

Making a wish and then passing all his germs to the rest of the cupcakes.

Happy 3rd Birthday to Andrew!
