Since we were on the west side, we hit Pei Wei for lunch, where the little guy indulged in some edamame ... or at least the plate that had the edamame on it. Yes, we were those parents that made the kid wear his birthday crown in public.
After an afternoon nap - during which, Craig and I finally installed the toddler seat in the car - we headed out back where we planted a tree in honor of the birthday boy. We hope to make this a tradition - planting something in the yard, or a pot when we run out of room. And we hope keeping the plant alive is a new tradition, too.
Once we washed off the dirt (and when I use "we" I mean Craig), we headed inside to open gifts.
He's just a tad short and uncoordinated for this yet, but we're excited about this "green" tricycle and how it will teach him to balance. It also converts to a running bike, so he can use it for several years - an important feature for anything we buy nowadays since we're low on space around here.
We can't wait for all the adventures of toddlerhood!

It appears that Park's birthday was a full fun packed day.
I forgot all of Park's days are full and fun packed. What a great happy little boy and how lucky we all are to have him as part of our lifes.

I cannot believe how big he is! That is a really cool bike - very similar to the dutch kiddie bikes, which makes it so much easier for them to learn to ride real bikes and balance. Sweet! Shayna
Our Sedgwick County Zoo hat would be something Gilligan would be proud to wear.
Park you will grow into it.
However, the little elephant on it might bring on some serious teasing, when you are in middle school.
