Storyville Station

Beau went to a birthday party today where the theme was "Princesses and Knights." The party was for Ms. Jordan, who turned 3. I worked with Jordan's mom for 4 years. Our classrooms were next door to each other. Jordan's mom will always be one of my dear friends.

We arrived at the party at Storyville Station and Rodney got to help Beau pick out his own knight costume. Beau was not crazy about the armor part of the costume, but he wore the cape the whole time! However, Beau did keep running over to the side of the room with the princess dresses, tiara, and boas. He pulled out this boa that he wore for a few minutes before tossing it to the floor.























Next, Beau got to get a tattoo. Hopefully, this will not be a new trend! He chose a yellow smiley face tattoo for the princess to put on his hand.



















Then, we got to go downstairs (we chose not to ride the magical slide down to the basement due to Beau's stitches and Mom being a little scared of it) for dance time! Beau was not so great at the choreographed dances...chicken dance, hokey pokey, etc. He decided to run circles around the other kids during the dances and do what Rodney and I call the "Beau shuffle"(a running in place move) and the "Booty Bop" (where he bobs up and down while sticking his but out). Then, they brought out the bubble machine. This was a huge hit with all the kids!
























Then, it was back upstairs for pizza and cupcakes. Beau did not eat the pizza but he ate part of a cupcake while we watched a slide show of the birthday party that the workers had taken. Then, it was time to go. Beau got a goody bag and a mug with his name on it, a picture he drew (really was just scribbles), and a group shot of all the kids at the party. The princesses also were giving out balloons. Beau let 1 or 2 go into the air before we realized he was doing it on purpose. He loved seeing those balloons go bye-bye! It was such a fun birthday party!!
