Surprise!!!

While my friends were here last week, one of them celebrated his 5oth birthday. We had a surprise party all planned, the cake was made, the streamers were ready to be hung, all we were waiting for was for him to leave so we could do it.

One of the kids here is absolutely one of the cutest kids I've ever seen in my life. He's3 and is so hilarious. Anyways, he (J) and his brothers had already made signs that said 'happy birthday' etc to hang outside of the door.

So while we were sitting there eating lunch, J comes in from school and he has this bear necklace that he's made that morning with his name on it. So he flips the necklace around behind him (so that we couldn't see) and comes up to the table and says 'do you want to see my bare nakedness?' He got a pretty good laugh and an explanation that what he had to show was a 'necklace'.

Next, he says 'Uncle Scott, is it your birthday today? No, no, it is. Happy Birthday. Mom, is it his birthday today? yeah, happy birthday uncle Scott. I want to tell you what I made. Yesterday, I drew this big sign that says 'Happy Birthday Uncle Scott' in very big letters. And...' At this point his mom interrupts him and calls him over and whispers in his ear that the party is a surprise and so we don't want to talk about it in front of Scott or we might ruin the surprise, to which J replies out loud, 'No mom, I'm not going to ruin the surprise. I'm just gonna tell him what I made for him'. There was no stopping him. He goes back to Scott and says 'so I made this sign that says 'Happy Birthday Uncle Scott' and then this afternoon while you are gone, we are going to hang it up outside of the door and when you come back we will be waiting and we will jump out and yell 'Happy Birthday!!'' I think we were all pretty much laughing hysterically at this point, but to make it worse, J goes back to his mother and with the most innocent little blue eyes says 'see, I didn't ruin the surprise' and then he walked off. Guess 3 years old isn't quite old enough to understand the idea behind the surprise party!
