Yesterday our son turned 3.
It was a great day, and we all had a lot of fun. I even snuck a little nap in with him, which was a huge highlight.
I decided to make him a birthday crown after flipping through some of the projects that Amanda recommends in her book The Creative Family.
In my usual fashion, I didn't follow the letter of the law instructions. I used some twill tape instead of elastic to close it. I figured with the growth rate of my son's head, it would be safer to have it more adjustable, rather than less.
Also, I loaded up some glow in the dark thread and did a bit of thread painting so it would glow at bedtime.
He ran around all day in it, and was very proud of the fact that he helped me make it.
It was such a huge hit my husband asked me to make one for his birthday. I was not expecting that, but was very honored to make another one and he looks adorable in it too. I have yet to cut out all 34 stars to put on there for him. I think I can probably do it though before his birthday next week.
That crazy floating baby widgit started counting up the more overdue I become. Thank goodness the baby will be here soon, and pregnancy will be water under the bridge.

Huh, that's interesting that it just started counting up. The crown is fabulous. I will have to remember that next time someone has a birthday.
