Tigger is 3!

It's been quite a busy few days. Tigger started school then turned three. G-Ma and G-Pa T came into town and we had a great party at a nearby fire department.

Tigger's birthday started with present opening. Tilly and Papa TT helped:

Tigger loved his handyman dress up kit and Steelers jersey!

After presents it was time to head to the fire station for the party.

We had lots of balloons!

As usual, I made the birthday cake. This year I did cupcakes to make a fire hydrant. Not too shabby, but I couldn't get the icing red so Tigger had a pink fire hydrant.

The kids got a tour of the fire station...

..then a gear demonstration by fire fighter Eric.

Tilly was enthralled!

Then it was time for pizza and cupcakes. Everyone ate up!

First Day of School

Today was Tigger's first day of school! Our local elementary school offers not only a pre-k class but a preschool class for 3 year olds so we enrolled him and his first day was today!

He looked like such a big boy with his dinosaur backpack. He also has to wear a uniform - white top and blue bottoms. Both Papa TT and I and his teachers at day care have been prepping him for school so he was all ready to go.

He was a little hesitant in the big crowd of kids going in - he was definitely holding our hands. But then we got to his classroom and he was fine. Look at his cool classroom!

He followed the steps (with his name!)..

..to his cubby and put away his backpack.

Then breakfast came out and he was happy as a clam! We kissed him goodbye and headed out.

When we picked him up he was perfectly happy. His teacher said he was friendly, happy and told them about his baby Samantha at home. He did great and only Mama TT cried!
