a birthday boy

We’ve had a couple of birthdays in our family.  One a month ago, one a week ago.

About a month ago my littlest boy turned 3.  He’s a rough and tumble, imaginative little guy.

he's got the force

These are the only pictures I have on my camera of his big day.  We went to Monkey Bizness as a family to celebrate and I think all the photos and videos are on Barry’s phone.

These are quintessential 3 year old Hunter pictures, though.  He is in costume almost every waking moment.  Either that or in pajamas.  He’ll get dressed and ready for the day and then the next time I see him he’ll be back in his jammies.  If his Darth Vader t-shirt and red pants are clean (clean is a relative term here, read “not so crusted in filth that they still feel comfy”) he’ll leave them on for the whole day.  He will not wear stripes.  I bought a few new clothes at Gymboree a few weeks ago and he would rather die than wear the striped shirt I got him.  Stripes are not cool.  Darth Vader is cool.  Spider man is a distant second.  Stripes do not even register.

The Darth Vader costume was made by my friend Jodi.  It is awesome!  We visited her and her family for an evening over Thanksgiving and Hunter came downstairs in the full Darth Vader costumer.  Jodi thought he was so cute (her son had outgrown the costume) she sent it home with us!  (as well as a Bobba Fett costume and a Storm Trooper helmet)   How sweet and generous is that?  Hunter loves it and wears it everywhere I will let him.

I do draw the line at the helmet and cape, though.  Just the suit gets to go to the store.

Oh, 3.  So fun.  So hilarious.  So exhausting.

LOVE HIM!!!
