This week, Silly Bean celebrated his 3rd birthday! I can hardly believe that it's been 3 years since we brought him back from the hospital. They say that the most development and growth happens in the 1st 3 years of life, and I sure agree. He was so little in his crib (now toddler bed), and now we're having full conversations in full sentences. He used to just lay on his back, but now he runs, jumps, climbs, balances, and is learning to ride a (balance) bike!
For his birthday, our friends thought it would be fun to put their gift for Silly Bean by a tree and have him discover it (though, his little friend kept giving away the surprise! Oh well, Silly Bean wasn't listening anyway and was still surprised haha). Silly Bean was so happy to see a little red balance bike just for him! For months prior, he had been talking about how when he turns 3 he will learn to ride a red bike, so this was just perfect.
slowly getting acquainted to the balance bike for the first time!
Hope he'll continue to persevere in mastering it!
Among other things for his birthday, Silly Bean got to see his family and friends, get a swimming lesson from Mama, have the foods he requested (Japanese chicken curry, roasted asparagus, Chinese-style garlic pasta noodles, roasted broccoli, zucchini cake and lemon cake), open so many presents (yes, I put some away so there are always new things to play throughout the year), and play with his new geography puzzle (we got a few of various continents and the one he picked to play with for now was Africa). It was a little sad because of social distancing so we didn't get to have a party with all his little friends, but I think Silly Bean was still pretty happy about the day(s) and about turning 3!
