three years






My baby boy is three! Christian has grown up so much over this past year. Ever since my inlaws bought a train cake pan he has been asking for a "choo, choo" party and finally, last week, he had one. The poor kid doesn't have many friends since he's the third born so he only had three other kids there -but he didn't care, he still had fun. I made him a train cake, the kids each painted their own wooden train and then we played a few games. It was fun and easy!

Christian is preener - it's not unlike a tween but younger. The poor kids is caught up between two worlds - that of a preschooler and that of an elementary aged kid. When asked what he wanted for his bday he said - choo, choo in one breath and then in the other - Darth Vader and his space ship. The train answer is the usual 2/3 year old answer - the Darth Vader not so much!! He also loves to watch Scooby Doo - Ethan would NOT have been allowed to watch that show.

Christian is a wonderful little boy. He is so full of life. Christian loves to laugh, he is thoughtful (sharing candy), he loves to give kisses/hugs (to anyone), he can't wait for "his class" to start, he has an answer to almost everything and he is all mine (well and Rich's). He also knows how to push buttons - especially Aiden's. He is happy to tag along with the older kids -even if they really aren't paying him any attention. He has to show our friend Coreen everything- in fact he would go live with her if he could. He has some classic sayings: " How too?", "my house", "take that", "Giddy -up bad boy", "where's Callia", "Callia sleeping" "Callia eating" and "choo, choo" for everything. Today he had wet undies and he told me that it was okay b/c they would dry - guess he had a point.

I love him to bits and can't wait to see how God is going to use him. He has a personality that draws people to him. Happy birthday Christian.
