Last night I put my 3-year-old-Jonah to bed and in the most dramatic fashion said good night to him forever. No more 3-year-old-Jonah, because today he turned 4!
He’s into robots and legos and transformers and all things buildable, so we’re having a robot party on Saturday. Last night I just needed to make him something and came up with this guy to fit with the whole robot theme.
I’m glad he turned out. Not bad for an hour or so of work on the spur of the moment. Jonah was sure excited about him this morning and Logan is very jealous.
He didn’t have a long list of friends to invite, so with his coaching I drew pictures for his invitations.
I’m still not 100% sure exactly what we will be doing at this robot party besides eating cake and ice cream. I still have tomorrow to figure it out!

I remember last year about this time when my then 3 year old was turning 4, I sat in her room when I put her to bed and said, “Tomorrow when you wake up you won’t be 3 anymore. This is the last time you’ll be 3!” And then I thought to myself, “Oh my gosh! This is the last time she’ll be 3.” And then I went in to her room before she went to sleep and just cried and cried. And of course I’ll probably do it this year when she turns 5 LOL.

Happy Birthday Jonah! The robot is very cute
As for party ideas, though I’m sure you’ve already got plenty, my kids have had lots of fun making robots out of cardboard boxes, aluminum foil, aluminum pie plates, cardboard tubes, stickers, plastic cups and anything else I have on hand. One of the MS Kids has a halloween issue about making robot costumes out of household supplies that has lots of cool ideas. There’s also “Pin the *pick a robot part* on the Robot” game. Regardless of what you do (or don’t do) I’m sure the kids will have fun with each other!

Sara-
Funny thing–I’ve spent the past hour making a “Pin the Part on the Robot” game. AND we’ve actually made the robot costumes from said Martha Stewart issue. AND I was planning on having each of the kids make a robot helmet, then we’ll make a robot movie and watch it.
Funny–we’re on exactly the same page
