Ethan's 3rd Birthday!

Today is my baby's 3rd birthday! I can't believe how fast these last 3 years have flown by! They have definitely been the most fun 3 years of my life. This morning started with a lovely song & dance in Ethan's room by his mommy & daddy...I know, it should have been recorded.

Then we walked down the stairs where Ethan saw this huge inflatable birthday cake to which he said, "Oh my gosh!" Um, did he turn 15 overnight? Ethan had options for breakfast since his daddy the cook was home; pancakes, French toast, eggs, anything. All he wanted was Apple Jacks for his birthday breakfast.
I thought that Ethan would love to spend his birthday at the fire station since he talks about it all the time. When we visited Fire Station 126 back in February, Ethan fell in love with Fireman Andy. Ethan has a little ride-on firetruck and fire hat and zips around the house pretending to be Fireman Andy all the time. So I scheduled a visit and Andy's shift just so happened to be working today! We had about 12 kids total join us and it was a fabulous tour. One of Ethan's friend's brought him this yummy cookie.
My little 3 year old very excited to go into the fire station.
The start of our tour. Ethan & his friend Mason held hands through most of it.
The smile on his cute little face just melted my heart.
Ethan & Mason listening to every word that Fireman Jack said.
Mr. Attitude! I know I'm a little obsessed with taking photos but geeze, I never thought my 3 year old would treat me like a paparazzi!
During our tour the firemen got a call to an emergency & had to leave quickly. Here are Mason & Ethan covering their ears because the siren was so loud.
And off they go! Lucky for us the captain stayed behind & continued our tour.
The kids enjoying all their lazy chairs.
Yay! Fireman Andy finally got to join us! Ethan couldn't believe it!
One happy guy in the fire engine!
Fireman Andy dressed up for all the kids. He was a huge hit!
Ethan got to try his heavy hat on.

Ethan was very serious because he new that the tour was almost over.
Not happy about saying goodbye.
"Did Mama just say Chick-fil-A? I'm coming!"
After the fire station we went to Chick-fil-A for lunch; Ethan's favorite restaurant. This was our first time eating at the restaurant since the grand opening. I'd say Ethan had the best birthday ever!
