Davis' Birthday

Ares went to his first birthday party this past weekend. It was Davis' 2nd birthday party and all of the boys from his class were invited. We've never met the parents of the other students' in his class, so we decided to rearrange the weekend to make it to the party. The boys all got along great, and the weather, for once was really nice - so we played outside.
Things I've learned:

• Boys are all the same. Dinosaurs are man's best friend.


• If there's a truck around, nothing else matters.


• Apple juice is the favorite among the kids, my son doesn't care, as long as it's liquid.


• My kid was the only one to finish his juice box - and he did it in 4 seconds.


• My kid is the scaredy cat when it comes to playground slides. He eventually went down it, but it took some coaxing. (more like he had to watch the other kids go down a few times first)


• All kids like cake and at least ate all of the frosting.


• My kid talks FAR more than the others. They were saying 'juice', 'please', 'more', 'truck', 'slide'... etc. My kid came up to me and said "Ahhhh! Mommy, the dinosaur eat my finger! Roooaaaarrrrr!" and then ran off.


• All kids like chips - except for mine which kept asking for pineapple and some version of the word 'cantaloupe'. It took a few seconds to figure out what he wanted.

I think everyone had a great time and all of the parents were very nice. Unfortunately, no one exchanged numbers!
