ALEC IS 4!

Alec's birthday party was a big success. We decided to save ourselves the headache and have friends and family at the same time. (I learned my lesson with Lauren's 2 parties in one day fiasco.) Alec invited 2 of his preschool friends and we also had friends from out of town. The theme was "Batman" of course. Alec has officially moved on from Spiderman to Batman. Sorry Spidey. The night before I drew a large Batman on a poster board so the kids could play "Pin the Symbol on Batman" and we also had a Batmobile pinata. Alec had begged me to get him a piranha (pinata) for his party and how could I refuse that cute little face! I was afraid of death and destruction once the candy spilled out, so I made sure the kids knew that we were going to split the candy up. It actually worked out well. They all sat in a circle and took turns counting out a certain number of pieces. Educational as well as cavity inducing! Alec got lots of summer clothes and some really cool Batman toys. He was very pleased. All in all, it was a very memorable birthday.
