Birthday Fun

For the little guy's birthday I thought I would prepare him chocolate chip pancakes and put a little face on it with a candle.  He was very happy about the fruit face and candle, but not a fan of the chocolate chip pancakes.  Couldn't believe any kid would snuff those!  So instead I made him the normal apple wheat pancakes, which he gobbled right up.

Here is a video of his birthday breakfast, every time he sees it he says "Ethan's birthday!"  I'm not sure he understands his birthday isn't every day. Such a sweet, sweet boy!!!

Then, since we weren't able to go to the zoo on Troy's birthday, we went for Ethan's birthday and he LOVED it!  We thought he would love the big cats and monkeys, but he was most fascinated with the giant turtles (and the rocks!)  The Austin Zoo is more of an animal rescue sanctuary so they don't have a big variety of zoo animals.  No elephants, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, etc... but he doesn't know any different yet.  He was super happy to see a tiger swimming, the giant turtles digging, and the goats eating.  Before leaving we got him a stuffed cheetah animal which is his new favorite.

After the zoo, we came home and had lunch and after nap time he opened a few of his presents from Mom & Dad.  He got some tractors and the Elefun game which blows little "butterflies" out of its snout to be caught in some nets!  :)  The birthday boy had his favorite food- PIZZA for dinner and then his buddy Micah came over to play in the bounce house which was delivered early for his birthday party.  A super fun day indeed.
