| Rowan and his Mom. |
Our little cousin celebrated his third birthday on Saturday. We've rarely been to a party that started that earlier - 10:00 in the morning. Three years olds start early, party hard and quit early, we learned.

The entertainment was fast and furious. There was a big inflatable thing in the backyard. The kids climbed up and down it relentlessly. We skipped this.
About an hour into the fete, an animal handler appeared and presented a ferret, a pigeon, a bullfrog and the piece de resistance a huge yellow snake named Banana. Everyone got to touch the critters (who wanted to) and there were plenty of wide eyes.

| Waiting breathlessly for the animals. My second favorite moment. |
That's when the fire truck pulled up. Wow...we got to see the hoses, the nozzles, the dials and the firemen.

Add one blueberry to each eye and a grape to the nose.

Plenty of little boys were awe struck. So was I.
I'd forgotten how much pleasure you can get from a three year old's company. I put one blueberry in each of Dr. Seusses' eyes and you'd think I was a combination of Albert Einstein and Michelangelo. Everyone should have a three year audience, once a week - it's great for the ego.

| Favorite moment - with Liam. |
 |
| Opening our gift - a make your own monster puppet kit. I want one (for the cat). |
 |
| Every second got recorded. |
