Davis' SUPER 3rd Birthday!

I can't believe that my little boy is 3! It feels like he has officially turned into this little kid now... definitely not my baby anymore. He has turned into such a social kid. He loves playing with his friends and making new ones. He is super active and fun. He is incredibly athletic... seems to pick up on any sport very quickly. He is also so smart- he already knows all of his letters, numbers, shapes, colors, etc, and he picked up most of that on his own. Pretty soon he'll be heading off to preschool, and I'm sure he's going to love it. I just can't believe how fast he is growing up! He is such a great kid, and I love him more every day.

Anyway, Davis has been really into superheroes for a while now, so when it was time to pick a birthday theme, it was a no-brainer. We went with a super hero theme. We decided to do the party at the gym where he takes gymnastics. The invitations called all his super buddies to join him for super hero training and an opportunity to put their skills to the test and fight a real villain. There were 4 challenges to complete before they could get their weapons. They had to fly like superman (jump into the pit), swing on a web like spiderman (the ropes), rocket into the air like iron man (jump high on the trampoline), and flip through the air like batman (swing on the bars). When they completed the challenges, they got their weapons- balloon swords and spider webs (silly string), which they used to defeat the evil villain (Davis' uncle Ty). All in all, the party was a huge success. The kids ran around like crazy little monkeys, and everyone loved the bad guy part. Finally, they went upstairs for cake, presents, and party favors. Davis had a blast!
The next day was Davis' actual birthday, so we had family dinner at Kim's house, and he got to open even more presents.
