Is He Really 3?


WOW -- my sweet sweet little boy turned three last Sunday. He had quite a celebration week last week - Valentines Party (with candy) at Ms. Carries on Thursday, Birthday Party (with cake) at Ms. Carries on Friday, and another Birthday Party (pizza and more cake) at Wiggly Play Center on Saturday.


We are quite blessed with our friends and loved ones generousity. Trying to teach Zachary to be gracious but all he wanted were "more presents!"


My father (Z's Gramps) was in town and I think a tad bit frightened by the party at Wiggly Play Center. The party place is essentially an indoor playground with a bounce house. It was a horrible day weather-wise so the location was very crowded. I think the chaos of it all actually shocked my dad into silence! It was a bit overwhelming.

Zachary had 15 of his friends and 5 babies as well as all of the parents there to help him celebrate. He was so excited until he realized he was the center of attention. He got a little shy and didn't smile a lot in the pics. But he blew out all of his birthday candles.
The celebration continued on Sunday with MORE presents (I tell you we are very lucky!!) from Uncle Andrew, Aunt Jessie, & Baby Lucas as well as Gramma, and Chad and I.
He is such a joy to watch grow and mature. He is definitely a little boy -- yep seems the twos really weren't terrible - it's the threes you have to watch out for!! Chad and I will embrace every moment as he explores life and struggles for independence (a battle I am told continues for decades to come) and try to shower him with all the love, patience (I said try), and freedom we can.
We are so blessed.
