The Casper Crew: The Crew-Bug

The Crew-Bug

Guess who just turned 3?! My little baby stinker Crew is all grown up. He went from this...

...to this overnight.

My favorite things about Crew:
He makes us all laugh every day.
He can't say his "r's" or "l's" so he says things like "watessmelon" and "computess".
He says hi to everyone he sees.
He tells me every day, "Mom, You da best and pretty."

Crew and Bruin are the best of friends. They go everywhere together, make each other feel better when sad, visit each other in time-out, and protect each other always. The other day Bruin spent most of the duration of my shower trying to convince me to let him and Crew go to the neighborhood park across the road alone. He explained that there were lots of pine trees around and that if any bad guy came to take Crew he would pick a pine needle off a tree and stab the bad guy with it.
Very reassuring Bruin.

For Crew's birthday we took him to Trafalga where we did laser tag, bowling, rides, and arcade games.

It was the first time either of the boys had done laser tag so that was pretty fun for us once they got the hang of it.

Then I took them to the requested McDonald's dinner (ew)

and home for his first birthday present.... a Green Lantern costume. He loves it. Especially the light up ring :)

Later in the week we had his little birthday party over at Phil's place. We BBQd up some delicious food and had over his cousins for a good time.

Phil taught the boys some Red Rover.

We ate cake... made by my big sis April who is so fun and creative with her cakes that she offered to do Crew's last minute. I was opting to just pick up donuts and stick candles in and call it a day but Crew was requesting a Three Little Pigs cake and I just felt so bad not doing it. So I brought the stuff to the party and April saved the day and decorated it there at the party. He loved it.
