The week leading up to Nolan's birthday was pretty rough, to be honest. He was in a foul mood for the majority of the week. Very defiant, angry, and throwing tantrums left and right. I think it was a mix of things going on that caused it, from the time change to getting his 3rd cold in a row, to going through growth spurts. Luckily the end of the week was better, and he was a very happy boy on his birthday.
We laid low on Nolan's birthday, hanging out at home. I made birthday cake pancakes, which he devoured. We had his favorite pbj for lunch and Dominos pizza for dinner. After dinner we gave Nolan his big present from us, a Strider balance bike. He was thrilled! He immediately started riding it around the house, grinning from ear to ear the entire time. When we were finally able to peel him off the bike we sang happy birthday and had a yummy cake that Nolan helped me make. It was a great day!
Saturday was his big Daniel Tiger birthday party. It went very well, which made me happy! I always get a little anxious when we host a party. Nolan was a very good birthday boy. He did well sharing his toys (there were a few incidents, but overall he was good). We did have to put his special Buzz away though, so he didn't have to share that. He was happy to have everyone there. Nolan did an awesome job thanking everyone for their present after he opened it. He was so cute when we sang happy birthday to him. He just focused on the cake and didn't really acknowledge our singing, but after he blew out the candle he grinned and clapped. It was really cute!

All in all it was a successful birthday. And I'm happy that now we have a lot of new toys and games to play with, especially since we'll be stuck inside a lot for the next few months (boo, snow!).
Here are pictures from our camera I finally uploaded!
