Atticus Turned 3!


 Atticus is obsessed with garbage trucks, so for his birthday I talked to the people at Murrey's Disposal and they set up a special tour for Atticus!

 That afternoon they had 2 garbage trucks for him to look at, a rear loader and a side loader. The side loader was a big blue one, and if you know how much Atticus loves blue you know how thrilled he was.

 At first he was a little hesitant. We couldn't ever get him to sit in the trucks, but after a while he warmed up enough to run around them and jabber about how great they are. 

 Hanging out with Pa





I uploaded a bunch of videos from our adventure onto our youtube channel, but here's my favorite one.
 
 After we finished with the trash we went home and opened presents!

Nana spent so much time working on this I-Spy quilt, and it is fantastic! Atticus and the girls will lay on it and look at all the pictures. 

 Above is a what Atticus calls his scoop, it's a little car demolition play set. 
Below is the dump truck from Grandma and Grandpa Hall! As much as he loves it, I think Jane and Lizzie love it more. They keep trying to sit on it and ride it around the living room. 

 

 Lizzie getting excited to go outside and do the pinata!!

 Atticus gave it his best shot, but it turns out that it was a very well built pinata. 

 So Daddy helped out.
 
 And of course, the trash truck cake. 


 Atticus eating the way he eats everything: start by shoving as much in as he can, then forgetting about it halfway through and leaving it on the table.
Happy 3rd birthday baby boy! We love this guy more than he loves garbage trucks!
