Edison's Third Birthday Presents

Eddie made out quite well in the presents department this year. Too well, actually; a couple of days after presents were all done he kept asking for another present. His first birthday package came a week early. It was from the Grandma and Grandpa with the silly car (my mom drives a yellow Beetle). It included rain boots. Eddie loves wearing them while splashing in puddles outside and while walking around the house handing out presents like Santa Claus.
If you could mentally put these two pictures together, you would see how cute he looks in his new rain boots.

He also got three airplanes and a helicopter from my parents. Upon unwrapping them, Eddie exclaimed, "I am going to love this!".

Eddie looks so cute flying them around while making flying sounds. He likes to play "flying to Grandma's". He is so obsessed with talking about flying to grandma's, even before he got these planes.

Peter loves flying them, too. I was surprised to see that Eddie is most willing to share his helicopter with Peter. Eddie originally said, "A helicopter! That's going to be my favorite!". For the first day or two, he often told Peter, "These are my present!" and didn't want to share any of them.


That first day Eddie often walked around the house holding all four of these flying devices at the same time. While doing so he said, "I am so lucky!".

Peter loved playing with the package.

We gave Eddie a box of puzzles. He loves it! It helps that the puzzles are of a rocket, an airplane, a firetruck, and a digger.

He insisted on doing all of the puzzles before we moved on with opening presents. The next morning Eddie came into our bedroom with this box of puzzles. We did all four puzzles before breakfast and again after. It was a hit! What I didn't realize, though, is that we were also giving him a lunchbox (the puzzle box), which he was way excited about.

His cousins gave him a zebra squirt gun that he's pretty excited about. He likes to use it in the pool.


We also gave Eddie a trike that we were pretty excited about. I was surprised how well he could pedal right away. He's adorable on it, but he gets tired easily. It's not always the most fun for me to be lugging it home in the heat if I have the stroller and everything. Hopefully it will get more use when it cools down a little.

Peter's pretty cute on it, too.


Eddie received a birthday package from his "Grandma and Grandpa with the castle" (Ben's parents have a toy castle that Eddie loves to play with). Before the package was even opened, Eddie said, "It's going to be a train!". He was right!

He also got this truck. He was so excited about the truck that he honestly didn't notice that it was filled with candy!


Eyeing up the candy.
Not sure he likes the circus peanuts.

We all love the new book he got! It is so sweet!

Edison had a great third birthday!
