I just had to mention this because it's so adorable. I planned a Build-A-Bear party for the boys this year, we are actually having the party tomorrow. Really, I planned it for Aden to enjoy, because no one ever really remembers their 1 year birthday party and Ethan (I assumed) could really care less as long as he gets food. A Build-A-Bear party seemed the logical choice since the one thing the boys have in common is that they both really loved soft stuffed animals. So we have a party that Aden can enjoy with his friends and Ethan can get a stuffed animal and all will be happy.
But I was wrong about Ethan not caring.
We went to the Build-A-Bear store a few days before the party to make sure it was scheduled correctly and that they didn't need any additional information. Ethan got really excited and pointed out a few of his favorite animals off the wall. He was already trying to pick out a new friend! The store also mailed a postcard to our house with pictures of kids with a Build-A-Bear and Ethan has been carrying that thing around the house all week. He'll pick it up and then suck his thumb with his other hand. A sign to us that he likes what he's touching. It's so precious, it's like he's excited about his party too and he just can't wait.
Of course Aden is excited. But what he's most excited about is turning 4. Every day (for about the last 2 months) he asks if he's 4 yet. And then he goes down the list of his friends who are already 4 and he gets so mad that they get to be 4 and he isn't yet. It's like they have one upped him or something, and Aden is very competitive. He doesn't like to lose. So the party and the cake and all that sounds fun and he can't wait, but the real prize of the month will be finally turning 4.
