When you ask a typical four-year-old about space, they may tell you about Buzz Lightyear and "To Infinity and Beyond!" When you ask our nephew, Evan, he can tell you that there are 8 US shuttles and that one was named by Trekkies. And that's only the beginning. So it was truly fitting that he had a space themed party for his 4th birthday this weekend. Miles, mama, dada and the two pups took a road trip to celebrate the big day. While Miles has attended one other birthday party, this was the first that he really got to enjoy. (update 7/25: boy did I have mommy brain... he's been to another 4th and a 90th birthday party too!!)
In keeping with the space theme, we dined on rocket shaped sandwiches and a too-pretty-to-eat shuttle cake. In case of rain there were space themed crafts, but luckily the rain passed and the kids got to enjoy Papa's farm. Not too space themed, but the kids had a blast in the creek and on the swingset.
Miles's favorite space activity was the Moon Walk!! He loved sitting on the humps and being bounced by mama and dada. And watching Evan and Kate tumble around cracked him up! He just crawled over the humps, face-planted as he went and giggled like crazy. He was sad when the party was over and shed a few crocodile tears to prove it.
Oh, I almost forgot his biggest achievement of the weekend... when we arrived at Yaya and B's house, he immediately started climbing their stairs. He's not been around stairs, but he had no fear and was actually quite agile. A few rounds of that and he slept in both days. But we still need to practice the descent.
