Jackson's 3rd Birthday!

December 11th, 2013 marked Jackson's 3rd birthday.  We celebrated by going to My Gym with some of his day care buddies (past and present) and some of our friends' kids.  We had attended a few birthday parties at this place or places like this and thought that Jackson might enjoy it for his birthday.  In our past experiences, Jackson has experienced some sensory overload and I was concerned about making some minor tweaks in the program and signing him up for some classes to get used to the center.  Unfortunately, due to time and illnesses, I was only able to bring him and Grayson once prior to the birthday party.  So Jackson definitely had some sensory overload, but overall had a good time.  The ball pit is his favorite (which surprises me since I feel like that is some MAJOR sensory input), but he honestly could stay in there forever.

Almost getting him to participate in "Wheels on the Bus"





Getting silly with the big ball!





Loved the zip-line...was very mad he only got to go twice.






Voted "Best zipline reaction"!


Uh, why is everyone singing and looking at me?









Warning - This toy has no "off" button, nor a "volume control".

 And after all the generous gifts were opened, he played with...drum roll please...

The paper!!!



Thank you to all who came out to celebrate Jackson's birthday...we feel very blessed to have an accepting day care and wonderful, loving group of family and friends to celebrate Jackson.  He holds our heart and I think we are going to see some amazing things from him in his upcoming year.
