On February 2, my little guy turned 3!!! I still am letting in sink it that I have a 3 year old! I can't believe it! We had so so much fun celebrating him! We had a little Thomas the Train birthday party, and it was so fun because this was the first year he really understood that it was his birthday and was looking forward to it! Oh, how I LOVE being his mom! Here is our picture story of the day:

Oh my sweet boy...how much you are loved. I love our days together and how much you like order and routine (so much like your mother). Here are some things that I want to remember about you right now:
-when you wake up, you always want Ally and I sit in bed with you for a while (and Layla...if she will come)
-how you always want yellow juice and blue cereal (Trader Joe's vanilla nut granola) for breakfast
-while I get ready and Ally naps, you watch your shows -either Cars or PBS kids or Thomas and have a banana.
- you love to go down slides
-you still line up your cars
-how you ask what we are doing and what we are doing and ask if we are ok :)
-that you are potty trained :)
-you are still very much attached to lovey, blue and your binkie (although you know that the binkie fairy is coming soon)
-how you say that you aren't crazy, silly, funny, etc...but you will always say that you are momma's sweet boy....so true! You are SO SWEET!
-how you LOVE to go on walks and walk Layla.
-you know all your uppercase and lowercase letters, the sounds and what letter starts with certain words (like P is for pee pee ;) )
-you still hate to be left and cry whenever I leave you. You end up coming with mom to Bible study and church, and I teach Sunday school every other Sunday. You do very well sitting in big church with us. :)
-You LOVE music! You have been singing Jesus loves me and Jingle Bells all the time lately. You know almost all the songs on one of our Christmas cd's.
-You are learning to share with Ally...although it's hard because she doesn't know how play well yet...she just likes destroying things you create ;(
-You are a very sweet big brother and Ally adores you! She follows you all day long and wants to do whatever you do.
-You have been telling mom and dad that we are the Best in the world...love it!
-You ask a lot about Jesus and we have prayer time together every morning and evening.
-You don't play with other kids a whole lot yet but you really like Jackson Lloyd, Matthew and Luke Bryan, Rylan Manning and Brooklynn Bowman. You talk about Matthew and Luke the most. :)
Well...I can keep going, but I will save some for the journal. I love you sweet boy...Happy 3rd Birthday!
Cute idea Alisha!
