First St. Patrick's Day 3.17.2012

Dear Conor,

We celebrated your first St. Patrick's Day by having a party the day before with your Tuesday Group friends.  The party was hosted by Carter and his mom and they went all out with lots of fun toys to play with, rainbow themed foods and an awesome craft project.

Telling Mom to hurry up and get dressed so we can go!
When we got to the party many of your friends were already there and were very excited to see you!  It is always a joy to see you interact with your friends!

Baby B: 8 months old looking up at you

Playing with Baby N and Baby C:  loved seeing all the babies in green!

Your Art project - and bring home gift!
Your art project was a footprint shamrock.  You smiled when the cool feeling paint was put on you little feet.  We only made one little shamrock but we might have to do something like this for your family members someday soon.  Your friend Carter made each party guest a special magnet.  We came home and put your magnet on the fridge!


Since you didn't get much of a nap you were pooped by 6pm and asleep by 6:30pm.  You slept until 9pm and then went right back to sleep after a quick snack until 1pm where you resumed your normal night routine.  Seeing you this tired and having so much fun with your friends reminds me that it is important that I continue to make time each week for you to interact socially with your peers. 

Saturday was the real St. Patrick's Day and it was a day for me, you and Hunter to hang out at home while Daddy worked.  I took that time to take photos of you and Hunter (they all look photoshop-ed because Hunter is still a little leery about getting to close to you).
Celebrating the day right from the start with green jammies and a green diaper!

Excited that it is all about Irish today!  Hunter is not so sure about your movements!

As close as Hunter would get to your sour puss face :)

Irish from your toes to your 4-leaf clover binkie!
We had a great day just playing with your toys, practicing independent play while I did laundry and organized some of the house.

I can't wait to celebrate your next St. Patrick's Day with you - my little irish man!

xoxo
Mom
