Baby Shower for Collin's newest cousin, Leah

I think Collin had more fun than I did at Aunt Lisa's baby shower this afternoon. I like baby showers OK but it's really not my thing. When we arrived, he was expecting Timmy to be there and he was not. I could tell that Collin was disappointed. I am glad we brought his backpack with a few of his toys to play with. He played for just a few minutes and then clung to me and was really shy. Then, another 3 year old little girl, Sienna, arrived and he was within inches of her the rest of the time we were there. Kyler was there too which is Lisa's niece-in-law (I guess that's what she is to her). When it came time for Lisa to open presents, Collin and Kyler were right there to help out. Collin saw that Lisa was holding up all of the clothes for the other people to see so he started to do the same to the ones he really liked. He found monkey jammies as was sure he held that one up so at least I could see it. He had one similar to that when he was younger and remembered it.

After presents,  we had cupcakes.  Collin said he wanted one but does not usually eat but two or three bites.  I was shocked that he did eat the entire thing.  Instead of eating it with his hands, he wanted a fork so he could cut it in pieces first.  Timmy was next to him diving into his cupcake and not using his hands at all.  I was too funny to watch the different cup cake eating methods by these toddlers.

After he finished, Collin told Lisa's father-in-law, Mark, about our trip to the zoo yesterday. He told him about the monkeys and the seals.  I guess he DID have a good time if he remember it the next day enough to tell someone he is not too familiar with about it.  Before we left, he hug everyone he could find in the room and gave Lisa, Timmy and Amy (one of the hostesses) and kiss.  What a friendly little dude.  I was happy to see that he is friendly because he has NOT been too nice to Mommy and Daddy the last few days.  We are hoping this is just a phase.  Please......just a phase!
