Asa is Three!

Asa baby turned three on April 27th! I think he had a great, great day.

He invited me to build a playground out of Trios with him. He's a very pleasant building companion. He thinks the orange Trios are fire, and makes sure no one touches them.

We went to Walmart to grab a couple things, and we passed the bin of giant balls. He always gets really excited about them and asks if we can get one. Usually the answer is, "no, not today." But this time I said YES!!! I'd been planning it for like a week and it was so fun. He got to pick the one he wanted and chose this beauty. He named it Cheerio.

Daddy sneakily worked from home and magically appeared at lunch time with three balloons for our three-year-old.

We baked a strawberry cake.

And Asa helped to decorate it. He chose the color to make the lemon frosting, and chose the sprinkles and put them on himself. We made a spider cake, which he thought was the coolest. He is really into spiders right now.

For supper we had ravioli, corn on the cob, which he greatly enjoyed shucking, and he picked out some berries and colorful cherry tomatoes to go with it at the store. Everybody loved choosing their berries and skewering them.

Then on to presents! Sonnet was with us for the afternoon, too.

He got an Asa book of his very own.

And some diggers.

Nothing like strawberry lemon cake with mint chocolate chip ice cream. Quite a combination.

We also got him a bike, which Nate and I are predicting will not have training wheels by the end of the summer. He rides it every day.

And our big three-year-old gave us an interview. What a cutie pie. We love you so much, Asa!
