Lil' Kickers Soccer & Jack's Birthday

We celebrated Jack's third birthday with a very small party at our house. I went all-out for his 1st and 2nd birthdays and decided that this year we would keep it simple. Next year, I'm sure we'll be inviting all sorts of friends, as he will be in preschool meeting new kids in just a couple of weeks! I made the mistake (or not :)) of getting some AWESOME cupcakes from a small little cupcake boutique here in Overland Park called "Small Cakes". My family and I devoured them. Unfortunately, Jack didn't like the one he picked and only ate 1/2. There were none left to choose from after he realized he didn't like his double chocolate fudge :)!! Poor guy!! I think he forgot about it after opening his gifts, though. He is incredibily into "Thomas the Tank Engine". We got him a train table with all sorts of Track and accessories. He has been collecting the actual Thomas characters for quite some time now. It will be so nice to actually have someplace to store everything!!! Thank God for the huge drawer in the train table.

Cousins Tristin & Wyatt came down with my parents to celebrate Jack's birthday

Jack began Micro-Soccer a few weeks ago. He is very much enjoying it!!! It allows him to interact with lots of new kids and most importantly, run off some energy!! In his class, they are really just letting the kids get a feel for being on the soccer field. They play games and get to watch the big kids play actual games. It is a great experience for him and we will continue to keep moving him up in classes as he progresses. He is REALLY fast!! :)
