There is no longer a little baby in our house! I can hardly believe this little "stinkpot" is already 3 years old. He brings so much laughter and joy to our house. He is funny and so smart, not to mention brave and stubborn and tough. He is generally a pretty happy kid, although he does have his share of tantrums. He likes things a specific way (especially when it comes to clothes, or that yellow cup you see in the first picture), and if they don't happen that way, he has been known to collapse in a heap on the floor. Still, he's super cuddly and loves to sit with me while I'm reading or watching TV, and always wants to sit on the counter when I'm cooking-- a constant companion. He loves to play cars or dinosaurs or stack blocks. He especially loves playing with "his" Andrew and Abi.
He's not too easy to buy gifts for, because he really just likes to stack and sort things, or dump things
out for other people to clean up, but he got a little coloring book and a big dump truck for Duplo blocks for his birthday. He had no specific requests for his cake except that it was chocolate with white frosting, so I decided to decorate with blocks & ABC's, two of his favorite things.
He normally has no problem being the star of the show, but he was being a little bit shy about being sung to. And stubborn, like usual. He definitely "gets" birthdays this year and was walking around singing "Happy Birthday to Jacob" most of the day.
Finally, we got that infamous cheese grin! He still didn't want to eat at the table, so he took his cake to the floor to eat. Whatever!
