PRESCOTT IS 3!

I can't believe Prescott is 3 years old! It has been a VERY hard and challenging 3 years trying to figure out all of his food issues. However, he has been such a big blessing to our family and our lives wouldn't be the same without this cute, loud, crazy car loving boy.

Paislee wanted to buy something with her own money for Prescott. He had been talking about a "shish" for months so she decided to buy him his own "shish." She woke up early on his birthday to make sure I decorated the house for him. Then she spent about 30 minutes making him a Cars birthday card, it was the cutest thing EVER! She put his birthday card in front of the fish to hide it. Prescott was SO excited and just stared at the fish and renamed him all day. Oh and his "shish" has a name change everyday, the only thing that remains the same is, it is always named after a car.

Then Prescott had his birthday breakfast in our family tradition birthday hat.

After breakfast Prescott asked, "Mom, I open my presents now?" I felt horrible because we only got him one big present and I didn't even think about any small presents just for him to unwrap until Dad got home! Chad left early in the morning and we didn't want to wake him up 2 hours early to give him his present. But luckily Grandma Huntsman wrapped up a couple of small presents to give him so he wouldn't be sad on his birthday. So we went to lunch with Grandma and he got to open a couple presents to hold him over until Dad got home! When we got home from lunch he was especially excited that the recycle truck came for him on his birthday.

So the night before when Chad put his present (race car) together he was REALLY tired when he took it downstairs to hide it. He put the car right in front of the door. SO Paislee and Prescott walked downstairs to do her handsprings, I didn't think any of it because usually Chad hides things under the stairs and the kids can't see it. Well, Paislee opened the door and Prescott yelled, "CAR!" so Paislee slammed the door and yelled for me. I tried to convince him that he didn't see a car and there was no car downstairs. He wasn't having any of that and told me over and over that he saw a car, his car, a black car downstairs. When Chad found out he felt horrible, but when he got home we moved the car and let Prescott go back downstairs to find the car.

He was SO excited about his own race car. Chad made sure he bought the fastest one he could. It is the funniest thing to watch him peel out and stop and slide around the road. The car is super fast for a toy car, it goes 6 mph and Prescott is in HEAVEN!

So I thought it was about time for Prescott to have a birthday cake. So I spent 2 weeks cooking and experimenting with recipes so I could make him his first birthday cake. He keep talking about his birthday cake and he was super excited until...

he licked the car with frosting on it and he HATED it! I guess I can't really blame him, he has such a bland and basic diet that frosting is a bit much for him. So I tried taking the frosting off his cake and he still wouldn't even try it. "It's sick" is what he would say and push it away. I wasn't bitter or anything, I mean it's not like a spent 2 weeks cooking and figuring out a recipe so he could have his first birthday cake lol!

We let Prescott decide what he wanted to do for his birthday and all he wanted to do was open presents, go swimming and play at the park. So we played at the park on the way over to clubhouse to swim. We had the pool to ourselves and the kids had a blast doing cannon balls.

We ended the birthday celebration with a sleep over in the living room. After Paislee had been asleep for over an hour, we finally had to give the birthday boy some melatonin to help him to fall asleep. Maybe he was too excited to sleep or just had a sugar high from the frosting but it was time for the birthday boy to call it a day!
