Cal turned 3 on Friday. He wanted a great big humongous tractor and we did our duty to get him a tractor. I did make Space Boy because I had to do something handmade to give myself a good conscience. He is thoroughly unimpressed by my handmade creations. I knew this but then comforted myself by thinking Space Boy would look cute on his book shelf. I guess he was kind of a gift for me? Space Boy is really fun to make until you get to the part of attaching those wool felt sleeves. It's worth though b/c they really make the doll better.
He did consent to hauling spaceboy around in the bucket of his tractor which was darn cute.
and then i did a last minute tractor cake …
I made a paper stencil and sprinkled green sparkles on the cake. the tires and road are chocolate cookie crumbs. I really like how simple and clean it looks. AND it was super easy! Gigi got him this awesome firetruck which we all loved (yes I love it too!). The 3 year was very happy.
