Jason’s birthday was on Wed March 11th.  The weekend before we took a trip to the Children’s Museum to kick start the celebrations.  We had never been to the CM and didn’t really know what to expect.  We went on a Sunday and there were plenty of other kids there. We had a great time and Niko was able to play with almost everything he wanted to. We started off in the construction zone room.  This room is so neat because it has a bunch of rubber “stuff” that the kids can shovel into trucks, scales, buckets, loaders, etc….We visited this room twice!

Working hard

We also visited the very popular water room.  Niko really liked playing at the water table.  He likes to pull up a chair to our kitchen sink and play in the water so we knew this room would be a big hit.

Water!

A whole room with water!

 We also went to the grocery store, the dr’s office, the building center, the Bob the Builder section, played in the boat, the ambulance, messed around with clay and a bunch of other fun stuff.

Fun with Dad

 

Twins!

We will definitely be going back to the CM in the future.  Maybe in the fall?

On Wed. we celebrated Dad’s birthday with take out, a homemade German Chocolate cake and presents!  Niko made Daddy a very special art piece that was framed and is now hanging in our kitchen. 

Art for Daddy

Oh boy, cake!

Sunday we had a small birthday party for Niko at the house.  It was a time for the little ones to run wild and play together (or around each other!).  The kids had fun playing and the adults had a nice time talking to each other and catching up.

Monday March 16th was Niko’s actual birthday.  I took the day off work and Daddy was “on call” from his work.  We took Niko to the zoo and had a great day looking at the animals.  Niko has a killer monkey impression but unfortunately most of the monkeys weren’t feeling very playful.  We practically had the whole zoo to ourselves since it was raining off and on.  Niko really enjoyed the freedom of being able to run around and we liked not having to worry about losing sight of him. 

Wake up Bear!

 

At the zoo!

We had a lot of fun with the birthdays but I have to say Mommie is a little pooped.  I’m looking forward to some chill weeks to come.

Here are a couple more pictures I took of Niko.  One is at his new kitchen and the other is just a sweet picture of our little guy.
