Then, it was time to head out to jump. We visited Bounce U in La Vista for open jump, along with many other kids. It was quite busy. Addison and Asher played well at first, then Asher wanted up. He was done within a half hour, but Addison kept playing for another hour. Asher and I jumped together for a bit, but I found he just does not do well with crowds of kids (especially ones bigger than he is). After jumping and lunch, the kids were ready for a nap. They were both asleep within minutes.
After picking up Alivia from school, it was time to go to the movie Tangled. The kids loaded up on treats and popcorn. It is a good thing we only go to the movies a couple times a year...prices are outrageous now! The movie, Tangled, is adorable, and we would completely recommend it. Asher, however, wanted to go home after the 15 minutes of previews (Seriously, they need to only have 1-2 previews for kids movies!). All in all, I think he (and the girls) had a good time.
Once at home, Asher opened his presents from us, scooting around the house on his new spider-man scooter, before heading back to the Bat Cave and the big truck. Those are his new favorite toys...at least for the moment. We would totally recommend the Bat Cave because it has so many things to do!
I measured Asher tonight and he did grow an inch since he was 2 1/2, but not enough to fit into his size 2 clothes yet. He is wearing mostly 24 month clothes and just a couple size 2 pants with a couple rolls on the bottoms. At this point, it does not look like he is going to be tall. Asher likes to read books, color, count (he is up to 20, only missing numbers sometimes), but he really struggles with his colors. With that said, he acted like he could not count forever, and then one day he counted 20 items like he had done it forever. It is difficult to get him to be serious enough to show me he knows things. Asher likes playing with cars and trucks, playing at the playground, hauling things behind his tractor, riding his plasma car down the driveway going mock speeds, and jumping off of the playhouse into the jumper (and no, I do not allow this!!). Asher is a bit on the wild side. But, he is a behaved wild most of the time.
Asher is very sensitive, too. He likes to fall to sleep holding my hand. He is actually sleeping on my lap as I type this (he does not like the sound from the wind). He is good about using his manners, saying sorry, please and thank you and likes to give Mommy and Daddy kisses and hugs! Asher likes to play with his friends Cameron, Keegan, and Simon, and cousins Ben, Henry and Lucas. He BFFs are Alivia and Addison. He is very close to Addison and will really miss her when she goes to school next fall.
Happy Birthday Asher! We love you!
