Our sweet little Godson, Aiden, turned three last week. I can hardly believe it. I feel like our lives before Aiden are a world away, and a thousand times better since he's (and of course my sweet Addie) here! We love you so much sweet boy, happy birthday!
Aiden's party was at Rolie Polie in Summerville. His party was there last year too, but Addie was only 6 months old, so we pretty much just played with Aiden and held Addie. This year was completely different! She was everywhere! I mean, I know to a certain degree children at her age are supposed to be busy, but it seems like my child is always the busiest in any crowd of kids her age. I would say it surprises me, but it totally doesn't. I was that way - I still am. My metabolism is through the roof (and can I tell you how thankful I am for that!?!) and I'm always on the go. Apparently, as a child, especially Addie's age, it was the exact same. I was, and still am to a certain degree, a mile a minute. I love that about my girl. I am so glad she is active and happy and busy and healthy, but man, it's tough to keep up with her!
This place is really neat. It isn't just a typical bouncey-house place. They also have a foam pit like you have in gymnastics, a trampoline ramp-type thing, the little Step 2 rollercoaster (that is on her 2nd birthday list, except for the fact that she really wasn't that wild about it!), a bouncey house with slide, a rock wall, and a few other things. And it's all in a small, contained area. (I imagine to some a huge area would be a great marketing idea - to me, who has to chase my child all over these areas - notsomuch.) Addie's favorites were, of course, the bouncey house (to which I again had to get in there with her, and take her down the slide) and the trampoline. We had to really watch her on the trampoline. There were a good many kids piled on there at once, and she had no quams about getting too close to the edge (which I viewed as an easy stumble and off the 3 ft. or so onto the ground - which was padded, but still.), plus, some of the bigger kids totally didn't look out for her. (Mommy and Daddy had to get downright nasty with one of them - I even had to whip out my teacher voice! Then, another mom got hold of him too! I was worried that I had offended her, but turns out she was on our side! I always get nervous fussing at other people's kids, but my job is to watch after my child!) I wish she had liked the little roller coaster, because I liked it and thought it'd be a great 2nd birthday gift. We'll see. Let me tell you - she did not like the foam pit! She is just too small to be able to walk or jump around in it. I would put her in it, and she just kind of stood there and looked around; she couldn't move!
All in all, I totally loved watching her play and have fun at this party. I enjoyed watching Aiden play and remember how much different it was last year. And, I loved having all of my best friends together, with our children, playing and having fun. I had my Jenny, Heather, and Laurie there all at one time - life is good!
Below are some pics of our fun day. I left my camera in Greenville (and was grumpy about it for the entire ride there!), so thankfully, Laurie sent me these pictures and Jenny has some on the way. Thank you guys!

Me sliding my girl down the big slide!
Addie giving LuLu some love:
Addie on the trampoline - those are my tootsies - I would hold her hands (apparently not in this picture) and jump as hard and high as I could! She loved it - she would just laugh and laugh!
Addie and Harrison on the trampoline: (Laurie and "Pamcakes" in the background)
Look at that happy smile!
Here she is in the foam pit, but on the little island in the middle. She didn't know what to think, as you can see in this picture!
Sweet, sweet babies:
Check out Aiden's jon jon - Jenny made it!
Elliott manning the madness of gift opening, and please excuse Addie's bloomies being up her hiney!
I LOVE this picture of Aiden blowing out his candles!
Jenny and Carter (I think!)
My girl and me!
Addie and Elliott - first pic - good of Elliott, 2nd pic- good of Addie - so I included them both!
