Happy Birthday, Punky!

Today is my little boy Punky's 3rd birthday. Unlike most people we know, we've been celebrating the kids' birthdays with small gatherings of family and friends. We go to so many over-the-top birthday parties that its easy to go with the flow and get carried away. A low-key party with just a few people is just what we need. That way I don't get frazzled with entertaining a dozen or so kids along with their parents. And I can spend some quality time with the boys.

For Punky's birthday, we went over to my cousin's apartment and had dinner and cake. The kids enjoyed going to swim in her pool. Unfortunately, my cousin's kids were away with their father (she's divorced). But the apartment was full of toys that entertained the kids, along with my aunt and uncle who are good with Russell and Punky.

Punky has developed quite a personality since he began talking up a storm recently. He even speaks Chinese! Tomorrow, his preschool with be holding a birthday party for him, and Jenny will be on hand to serve birthday cake to the kids and take pictures. I'll try to post some.


Punky smiles!

Happy Birthday Punky, indeed!

I much prefer the low key party as well. I don't honestly think kids enjoy the 30 kids/huge production/theme restaurant as much as some parents think they do.

A child, whose http://startso11.info/g%C4%85sowski+mp3.html beautiful eyes are really deserving of praise, refused to eat spinach.. We are compelled to http://startso11.info/tatjana+okupnik.html disregard the objection urged against this conclusion that our consciousness is never directed to a knowledge of the former, and that it is directed to a knowledge of the latter only on special occasions when the censor is unexpectedly surprised.. It is http://startso11.info/olsztyn.so.gov.pl.html not an easy matter to give here a complete interpretation of the dream.. In the night my worry found expression in the dream which I have reported, the http://startso11.info/bs-jonkowo.plwww.w.html content of which was not only senseless, but failed to show any wish-fulfillment.. The state of thinking must take an interest in the connecting paths between the presentations without allowing itself to be misled by http://startso11.info/www.W%C5%81ADCY+MUGH.PL.html their intensities.. His nervous hands clutched at the collar Ross had lent http://startso11.info/poczta%2Cinteria.pl.html him.. A shower of odds and ends, small packages, http://rebestal.info/repliki+bmw+r4.html thread, needles, and buttons, released from their prison, rattled down about him.. I hain't nothin' to say ag'inst yer http://startso11.info/noclegi+katowice.html sosherbil'ty.. Another echo of your http://startso11.info/konflikt+polsko-krzy%C5%BCacki+na+soborze+w+konstancji.html dream.. Such a http://startso11.info/ciasto+z+rabarbarem.html woman as Mrs.. Once the sleeping state overcome, the censorship resumes complete sway, and is now able to revoke that http://storyah44.info/plan+imprez+w+wojew%C3%B3dztwie+pomorskim.html which was granted in a moment of weakness.. He subsumed what occurred between his parents under the conception http://startso11.info/www.lechia.html violence and wrestling, and thus reached a sadistic conception of the coitus act, as often happens among children.. Robbers, burglars at night, and ghosts, of which we are afraid before going to bed, and which occasionally even disturb our sleep, originate in one and the same childish reminiscence. http://startso11.info/departament+s%C5%82u%C5%BCby+cywilnej.html. We must be allowed to construct some clear conception as to the origin http://startso11.info/studia+w+poznaniu.html of dreams as the first steps in this unknown territory.. * * http://startso11.info/ojczyznamoja.html * * * My wife and I went out for our morning's walk.. The poor man was dreadfully frightened; he had never even imagined it possible that he should be drowned in his own http://rebestal.info/samochody+osobowe++sprzeda%C5%BC.pl.html wagon.. He won't eat http://startso11.info/best+kiteboarding.html you--though he's killed many a better man.. We have hardly got in and we http://startso11.info/www.slc%2Cpl.html already owe sixty hellers.. These ever active and, as it were, immortal wishes from the unconscious recall the legendary Titans who from time immemorial have borne the ponderous http://storyah44.info/pol-+power+olsztyn.html mountains which were once rolled upon them by the victorious gods, and which even now quiver from time to time from the convulsions of their mighty limbs; I say that these wishes found in the repression are of themselves of an infantile origin, as we have learned from the psychological investigation of the neuroses.. This was what she read: DEAR MISS TALBOT: I thought you might be glad to learn of my good fortune. http://rebestal.info/salon+i+sypialnia.html..
