David's 3rd Birthday - in pictures

He started the day by getting to pick his own breakfast - Special K with blueberries on top. Yes, that's what I make him eat most every day, but today it was special because HE got to pick it out of the cupboard.

 He gave me big birthday smiles...

 But he didn't want Max left out so Max got pictures so he'd feel special too...

 And for a very special day like a birthday they got to pull the coffee table over to the couch and jump back and forth between the two...

 When Daddy got home from work we all packed up and took a trip to the library...

 Then Daddy treated us to lunch at Culvers...

 And we took our very first trip to People's Food Co-op (what a weird little store)....

 Absolutely nothing looked tasty or even edible in there so we went next door to MacKenzies's for a cookie. Naturally on his birthday he picked one that said "Dad"...

 Then he ate it into the shape of a sailboat...

 We ate dinner in the food court at the mall. David got to pick between McDonald's or pizza. He chose nuggets and fries..

 Clearly, when you are 3 you are big enough to cut your own nuggets...

 We bought David's gift at the mall while we were there. TOOLS! Opening them to start working was the only thing on his mind when we got home...

 He loves them. A lot...

 He got a tool box, pliers, phillips head screwdriver, flat head screwdriver, measuring tape, 6 oz rubber head hammer and a mini Mag flashlight (all Craftsman so they will last his lifetime).
