And just like that....my baby is 3.

Three.  I know I will say it every year, but it is hard for me to believe my little bald baby is three.

Sigh.   He is such a big kid now!

We spent his birthday in Laredo (we were in town for a wedding) and went to Chuck E. Cheese's.  He has only been there once here in College Station, but the one in Laredo is HUGE! And we were there on a Friday afternoon so he had the place pretty much to himself.  We let him run around and just be a kid.  Ate his weight in pizza, played games, and wore himself out.  He was so excited he got to take a picture with the "nice mouse."  :)

I took him to the doctor last week for his 3 year well check up and I really wish I would have not left my phone in the car to document this amazing thing that happened.  HE DID NOT CRY.  I mean y'all, this is a HUGE deal.  People with kids---you feel me. people without kids---you will one day.  He was actually excited about going to the doctor.  He sat in the chair while they took his blood pressure and checked his eyes.  He took off his shoes and stepped on the big scale (this has NEVER happened, ever, like it is the end of the world if he has to remove his shoes!) He sat and waited patiently for the doctor to come in.  Granted, he was silent and did not say anything to the doctor the whole time, but I will take it! He looked perfect. He is 33 pounds and is 3 ft 2.5 inches! He is a tall boy! He was super happy to get "no owies" and waved bye to the doctor and asked for his sucker.

Logan is doing so much. He is like a real little person now! Telling me about his day on the way home from school, going in the potty (still have problems with going #2), singing songs, reading books, signing his ABC's (all the way through!), counting and so much more.  He amazes me everyday. He is sweet, stubborn, strong willed, loveable, gives kisses and the best hugs.  He throws fits and tells us we aren't his friends anymore, then will turn right around and tell us how sorry he is and how we are his best friends.  

Logan, boo-boo, bubba, sweet boy.  You made us parents.  You make us live each day better.  You make us love stronger.  You are the best thing that ever happened to us.  God sure knew what he was doing.  We are so lucky to be your parents.   We love you to the moon and back, always and forever to infinity. 

 

Logan's tractor party!

This past weekend we had a great time with friends and family celebrating Logan turning 3! He does not officially turn 3 until Friday, but we will be out of town for a wedding so we planned his shindig a week early this year.

Logan was getting very excited all month as we were talking and planning his tractor party.  He is not really obsessed with tractors, he likes them, but I thought it would be a cute theme.  Let's be real, next year he will tell me what kind of party he wants.  Then my being in control party planning days are over.  Until the next kid comes along. 
I was off on Friday so I spent most of the day getting last minute things for his party and getting his present.  We went and saw Frozen in the theater, so we got that for him and some other little things.  I knew he would get lots at his party! (and he did) We plan on taking him somewhere fun on his actual birthday while we are in Laredo this week.
By the time he came home, all of his tractor party things were up and the look on his face was the best! He was so happy! He looked at me and said "You did all this for me mommy?" that was probably the best ever. But yes, cutting out all the individual cupcake toppers and banners was worth it at that point. 
The party was not until the afternoon so we spent most of the morning blowing up balloons in the living room.  Which by the way, is the most fun for a kid.  Logan kept running though the balloons saying this was the best party ever.  Man, we should have just done that, I would have saved some money :)

 The party started and when the bounce house arrived, I swear I did not see much of Logan the whole party.  That little boy bounced to his heart's content! His face was so red! We dragged him out for cupcakes (he ate 2!), ice cream, the piñata and then presents. 

Please excuse my kid for holding himself, I think he had to pee!

He got so much, he is a lucky little boy! We were so blessed to be surrounded with family and great friends for the afternoon!
