The Monday of Charlie's birthday week was a holiday, so Alan didn't have to work. We took the boys to the mall to ride the carousel and do a few other things. Charlie first picked out a frog next to Carter's tiger, but then complained and moved to a horse in front of him.
On Charlie's birthday morning, we ate muffins. I tried putting a candle in Charlie's so we could sing to him, but he reached right for the flame. No photo op there, just running and screaming and grabbing it away from him!
I took the boys to the park for lunch that day. I had wanted to do something really special, but Alan couldn't take off work and I couldn't find anything going on. I think they had fun just running and playing, though!
For his birthday gift to Charlie, Carter picked out a Sesame Street book with a little play CD player in it. He loves it (notice the tongue sticking out, just like half the other pictures). 
Daddy and Mommy gave him a shopping cart with some play food in it, and a horse swing made out of tires. No pictures of that, because it didn't hang correctly - will have to get new hardware for it.
We took Charlie to his very first movie ever - Shrek Forever After. He did pretty well, but halfway through he wanted to run around. It's a good thing the theater was almost completely empty!
I took the boys to a show at the Children's Theatre (the Wee Folks Theatre) and it was really fun. We saw Goldilocks and the Three Bears (it was a modern version) and Carter kept talking about it for a few days. We would definitely go again!
The day after his birthday, we had a fun playdate at a Kindermusik class. The boys were shy at first, but ended up having a really good time.
Whenever the Purkey family is around, Charlie has to sit in one of their laps. Usually it's Claire, but he also loves Mandy or Kevin. It's hilarious really - he goes to them and refuses to let us hold him.
The week after Carter's birthday, we took him to see the Nick Jr. Storytime Live show. It was our "big" present to him, and he LOVED it! He sat still through the entire show and was so excited, especially during the Dora part.
