Ugh, who said you got to grow all big on me?!  I want to freeze you!  It's rough, Man, every day you get better...and closer to being all grown up and leaving me!  This parenting thing is a serious business!

You and Steph made what you don't know will you be your midnight cupcake... You love making cupcakes :)

We did an awful lot of snuggling today...If memory serves this happens every day-before-your-birthday...the crazies of pre-birthday-Gemini totally disappear and we just snuggle and adore each other.  So much so, in fact, that you wanted to stay up all late and watch Octonauts until the wee hours of the morning...which will round us nicely into the next post.  (Or two from now...we'll see how this will pan out.)

Ooooooh my sweet sweet little three year old boy!!!

Look at you and Miss Pam.  You look like old friends...

Some days you get into your seat wrong...and ask me "Mommy, is that right?" over and over until you get it right.  You adorable little stink.  It's so hot, and you're just totally happy to have us both stand in it eternally...and I want to be so mad, but the...look at you!...lol...I adore you...

We were about to nap when that same unannounced friend came to visit.  You are LOVIN her right now... I made you a few choice chalk drawings, and then she left and you and Steph and I made Lego creations for the rest of the night...except for the bit of time that we played in the back yard.  Do you know that you went straight to the orange slide, and...so did Aiden!  He went over and peed right on the slide!  Gross dog.  So happy that you have two slides!!

There's a Blue Jay in that top picture!

So, we were all set to have a nice and relaxing Memorial Day...and a visitor showed up.  Life sure is fun.  Remember that house guest we had during the winter?  We hadn't left things on particularly good terms.  She actually came over to try to make things right.  While I spoke with her, you and Steph had an awesome time making puppet shows and taking selfies and looking about as adorable as I could stand if I didn't get to be in the room with you. 

Fascinatingly, our old houseguest helped me get you to listen, and you two got along swimmingly! The world sure spins madly on, eh?...

We went to G&G's for dinner, and we always have a wonderful time there, right?  We planted a tree in their yard that I'm gonna have you kiss the top of on your birthday, and we're gonna take a picture of you with it every year.  I'm super excited!!
