Sharky's birthday and Beary's life source

Yesterday, apparently, was Sharky's birthday! I got out of the shower and the boys told me matter of factly, that Sharky was 3, but it's his birthday so now he's 4. They had a party for him, with presents even:

Here are the party guests (Beary, T-Rex, Rexy, Sharky of course, and the crocodile squeaky toy):

Here are the presents he got (you never know when you'll need a jar lid):

Here's the wrapping paper the presents were in. How did Sharky open all those presents??

That night Todd was in Alex's room with him...I'll have Todd write what he said:

Alex had a clipboard and was writing some numbers. He told me, "I have to put in the secret code to keep Beary alive," (Beary is his stuffed bear from Build-a-Bear).

Then he went on to explain, "For eleven months of the year, my friendship keeps Beary alive. But in December, I have to put in the secret code to keep him alive."

Kristie again: This post, along with the Chinese singing, are my favorite so far:). This is a post I'll look back on when they're grown and smile a big smile:)
