Birthday Cake

Bob got me another really cool 3 dimmensional cake for my birthday. Elise got me the flowers behind it. She also made me a cake, so we had a lot of yummy chocolate cake to go around! My day turned out really good. In the morning we went to Rex's tball game and after lunch Elise and I went out shopping for my birthday. I was really excited to get new bedding for my room. I had so much fun helping Elise decorate her room when she moved that I decided that I finally want to make my bedroom look nice. We are going to paint it next weekend. In the late afternoon we made it to Bob's softball championship game (he had a tourney all day), which they won, and then came home to some delicious mexican lasagne (my fav) that Elise made me. After all the festivities (I got some great presents!) Bob took me to a late night showing of Star Trek. Not that I have ever been a huge star trek fan, but the movie was pretty good. It was a fun-filled day. My mom sent me several cards through-out the week since I like to celebrate "birthday weeks"! I love birthdays. What is not to love about presents, cake, and attention? Elise especially worked hard to make the day special. I am glad she is here. 

There was another really cool thing that happend on my birthday. Before dinner Eli asked me if I could take off his training wheels. So I did, and after a couple of times going across our backyard patio he could ride a two-wheeler! I took him across to the walkway behind the house and he learned to start on his own and didn't fall at all! I was amazed. I had tried getting Rex to do it a couple months back and he gave up and told me that maybe we should wait until he is 6. Well, since he saw Eli doing it he decided to give it another try. It took him a lot longer to be able to do it, but he eventually did. Eli can ride a lot better than he can, so I hope that he will get the hang of it soon. He gets really frustrated when he can't do things. Anyway, I was really proud of them. I don't know too many 3 year olds that can ride a two-wheeler :)
