This afternoon both grandparents showed up to celebrate Jonathan's birthday. Technically speaking, we were celebrating both John's and Jonathan's birthday, but you can guess who received all of the gifts and attention.
Julia kept the party rolling, making sure we opened presents as soon as possible. Jonathan opened his play lawnmower first...after that, he wasn't interested in opening any of his other gifts. He played with it for awhile, pushing it back and forth around the basement. Stacey and Julia had to open the rest of his presents for him while he played with his new toy. When we brought down his Little Tikes Truck, he quickly shifted gears and played with that and his lawnmower the rest of the day.
Jonathan took a few bites of cupcake after figuring out how to pick it up without getting frosting on his hands. It was funny to watch him try to pick it up, get his hands dirty with frosting, then want the napkin. Once we cut it up for him so that he could eat the cake portion, he did pretty well.
You could tell that loved the attention, the party, and his new toys. We loved watching him having fun and being the center of attention. His sweet little personality and hilarious characteristics were on full display.
