Ronin's 3rd Birthday Party

Ronin had his 3rd birthday party at Tumble Bugs in Scarsdale, NY. He was so excited that he barely slept the night before. We arrived there at 11:30am (party for 12noon) and he danced around the room waiting “to tumble MAMA. I need to tumble.” Trying to keep him in the waiting area as the previous party wrapped up was quite the feat on Sean’s behalf. Autumn was super good chilling in her stroller as she was still riding the waves of a cold and on Amoxicillin (although fever free for 2 days.) The first two people to arrive were my mom and Celina. Ronin ran over to his “VOVO and Celina are here for my party MAMA. They come for me.”

A side note: Ronin has just started calling me MAMA again as that is what Autumn calls me and there seems to be a slight vying for power going on between to the two of them.)

Two more children arrived from Ronin’s school and we call headed towards the gym to start the fun. My mom waited for all the other children and friends and directed them into the party area.

Ronin couldn’t have been happier. Seriously. “MAMA I am so happy. I love you and daddy and Vovo and Baby Autumn and Celina so much. Are you happy too?” Ronin loved the slide, the trampoline, the rings, and the mats “the most!” About 20 minutes into the party all the kids sat in a circle and said their names and ages. Ronin pointed out his sister and his Vovo and loved holding court in the middle of the circle. When everyone wished him happy birthday he said “Thank you!”

Autumn enjoyed the mats and the trampoline and she danced whenever she could keep her balance. I had Celina there to help her out as she was still getting over her cold and I wanted to make sure she didn’t mix too much with all the other children and germs. I also wanted to make sure I could take pictures and video. I have a lot of pictures and video to share.

Towards the end of the party Ronin disappeared into the party room to eat some pizza as he was “very hungry, MAMA, I have the growlies in my belly.” He also loved the Thomas the Train cake and the rings that Vovo picked out for all the kids.
