In the morning he woke us up early as usual but this time I didn't try to make him go back to sleep. I made a small breakfast plate for him and got his wrapped gifts. I lit the candle on the little cupcake that he brought home from daycare the day before. We sang to him and watched him as he excitedly opened his gifts and marvelled at finally getting the things he'd talked about for weeks.



Outside it was still drizzling slightly which was not good for our plans to go to the zoo. We hung around at home for a couple of hours having breakfast and watching Curious George before making our minds up to go to the zoo anyways rain or shine.
At the zoo the sky was blue and the sun shining. He was so excited shouting "We're going to the zoo yaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeyyyy," the whole way there. We saw rhinos, elephants, hippos, zebras, tigers, lions and lots of other animals,







We ate ice-cream and went on rides and at the end of the day we cooled of at the pool in the water park. We had a fantastic day.



I can't believe my boy is three already and that this was his last birthday as an only child. Next summer at the zoo we'll have his little sister (probably) with us and we'll be a family of four.
