Our former neighbors were in town over the holidays to visit their families who live in the area. We are so glad that their family lives here because we get to benefit from seeing them as well! While they were in town they had Will's 2nd birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese. This was Lincoln's first time to experience the goodness of CEC. We have taken him to a local arcade a few times in our area and once on vacation so he has not been all that sheltered. Ha! Needless to say, he loved it and as soon as we put him down he knew exactly what to do! His favorite games were the one with the balls (surprise, surprise!) and the life-size horse that you could ride.
While Lincoln was playing Mr. Chuck-E-Cheese himself paraded through the games to gather up the kids. Lincoln followed right in line with the kids. They sang head and shoulder, knees and toes and he attempted to as well. At the end CEC through out a bunch of free tickets and Lincoln quickly picked up his fair share and handed them back to CEC. I tried to explain to him that he could keep them but he just wanted to help pick up.
Soon after we gathered up for pizza and cake while CEC put on a show. Lincoln sat in his high chair but he never ate one bite of pizza. He was too interested in the show. He soon got down and ran around and even took some time to give CEC some "knuckles."
And was our first time to meet Will's new baby sister, Aubrey Jane! She was about 2 months old at the party and all smiles!
I think that Lincoln's first trip to CEC was a success. As soon as we got in the car he said "Momma snack please!" I knew all of that running around would eventually catch up with him and it did.
