He got up at about 8:30 or so. We had his brand new scooter laying out for him. Of course he was a little freaked out by all becaseu he was just too tired. After he work up a bit, he got to liking it and finally opened his other presents. He got a couple of Disney's cars, a game on ABC's, an Alphabet Leap frog set and a play carpet for his cars. We took Nate to his 3rd birthday checkup. He was checked out okay.
We ate at Buffalo Wild Wings so that Nate would have his Chicken fingers. He had a great time.
We later got invited by my sister and Mister Dave to go to the Lake of the Ozarks this weekend. So we accepted.
WE got up early on Saturday and headed over to Jeff City to pick up my niece and her boyfriend (that was the whole purpose of the trip actually). We got down to Lake of the Ozarks around noon.
We stopped off at the old strip. And Nate got to play some skee ball....
And got to ride a car:
And another car:
And ANOTHER Car:
Oh, and video game jet ski:
And my sister taught him all about the one arm bandit:
I got to "milk a cow":
It was a good time for all of us. On the way back to St. Louis, we found a "tractor parade" in Union Missouri, and Nate just loved to watch about 40+ tractors go by. Apparently it was the Knights of Columbus doing a "Journey for Charity". Pretty cool to watch...
Pretty Cool.....

Hey the Leapfrog Word factory /alphabet Factory videos are great if Nate is a visual learner. Kai really got the concepts of word building from the Word Factory video. I also got him the Leapfrog "Word Whammer" toy where they build their own words and the toy tells them what they spelled ( 3 letter words). There is a cartoon called "Wordworld" on PBS which is good for helping with word building when he is older.
Unless you guys are opposed to tv. . . I am, but Kai always learns a lot from the educational shows.
Kai is basically sounding out and reading small basic words at this point and I think the Word Factory video really helped.
