Davis is Three

Happy Birthday to my Munchkin. Today he is three. Of course, he insists that he's four. He doesn't want to be three. I just agree. He can take back that extra year when he's thirty.
We had a birthday party for him yesterday afternoon. We meant to have it on our back porch, but with gray clouds and rain in the forecast, we moved it mom and dad's front drive. Please don't feel bad if you weren't invited. After relatives were invited and Davis' closest regular playgroup friends, we already had over thirty people there!
The party was a great success. We had a pinata and cupcakes and presents and then we all trouped down to the river for a quick play in the sand box. The theme of the party was "things that go", and we had a tractor for the kids to play on, at least ten different riding toys out on the circular driveway, a thomas the train pinata, and tiny tractors on the cupcakes.
Davis is thrilled that today is his actual birthday. He keeps saying, "It's my birthday again????!!", with wonder and excitement. He's enjoyed playing with his gifts and making thank you cards with his new art supplies.
I love having a three year old. Davis seems to have chilled out a bit lately. He's potty trained and that's a blessing. He's constantly chatting and singing and is learning to write his name and spell a few simple words. He loves to sit and read books and play with his cars and trains. He and his imagination can create hours of fun games. I'm a proud mama and I'm so grateful for the three fantastic years we've had so far.
Happy Birthday, baby.
