Party Animals

"So what are we looking at?"
"Look at me! I can pull myself up. I can pull myself up on the stairs, on a chair, and on this window sill."
Big brother. Big brother. Big Brother and Me.
Serious neighborhood watch.
Kyle has been invited to FIVE 3-yr-old birthday parties in the last month. We have "Pumped It Up" to the extreme.
Even Ryan enjoyed some fun at Pump It Up with his classmate, Natalie (Natalie's sister, Sierra, is in Kyle's class). Kyle's classmate, Avni, has a special fascination with Ryan's bald head! :)
"Dude."
Ryan and Natalie doing some climbing.
I think Natalie is thinking, "I'm going to push this little pip-squeak over the edge!"
Two of Kyle's school friends, Shankari and Willa.
"Wheeeeee!!"
The funny thing is, I cannot, for the life of me, remember the last birthday party I attended for one of my adult friends. When we have kids, do we stop celebrating our own annual life achievements?
Kyle likes to be right in the middle of things. When the kids line up, Kyle likes to squeeze himself in the middle. When they are taking photos, Kyle likes to be right in the front... & center. (Sierra, who is the birthday girl is in the back row on the left in the black & pink dress)
Pizza and the good stuff (aka full strength juice). The kids seem to recognize that parents are shamed into allowing them full strength, sugar laced fruit packets and suck them down like they are never going to see another juice packet for the rest of their lives. Meanwhile, they will see these juice packets again... at the party next week for the next birthday kid!
