Pedro's birthday

Today ws the day that we finally celebrated Pedro's birthday. His birthday was actually last week the same day as his oldest sister,but due to his young age we decided to push it back a little bit. Poor boy has been hearing all his life that his birthday is the same as Issi's.Issi's day came and went and ever since the poor boy has been asking every day, "today is my birfday?". So yes today is his birthday, he is officially 3. He has picked his presents and his cake is happily playing with his Beyblades and Cars toys. We dont do the presents wrapped in paper here. On thie birthdays it is a trip to the store to pickout their presents with their designated amount of money in hand. I have found that my kids are way more excited about going to the store and picking out their own birthday presents than they are opening presents that I have picked. It is funny to watch them as they try to decide to pick what they want. Given the chance kids can be pretty good at comparison shopping with a little guidance that is.
