May 21, 2008 - Sherman's 3rd Birthday

Sherman was very excited for his birthday this year! The day before it, we celebrated by going to the Lincoln Children's Zoo. He chose one friend to bring along - Owen page - and Amy and Mason Frasure came with us too. The kids had a great time seeing the animals, going on pony rides, playing in the sand, riding on the Z O & O Railroad, and just being kids.

On his birthday, we had Pancakes and Ice Cream for breakfast (A Bernards Family Tradition) and Sherman was very excited about using the red "You are Special" plate.

After breakfast Sherman opened a present from Mom and Dad and Grandma Gibbs. He was very excited to find train cars from the Thomas the Train Set. After he pulled out the train cars, he looked up very concerned and said, "They don't have any tracks to go on." So, Mom and Dad said, "We think you better go look downstairs." He hurried down and found.....

... a whole set of tracks, tunnels, a bridge, and more. He was so excited! He played with it most of the day, only taking breaks for eating and potty.



That evening we had a special birthday dinner - hamburgers and french fries - and then had chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting. Sherman hasn't quite figured out the blowing thing yet, so Mom helped a little with the candles.

Overall, I'd say it was a pretty fun couple of days for Sherman. And, yes he did enjoy his cake and ice cream!
