Happy 3rd Birthday

Yesterday was Nicholas' third birthday. It is so hard to believe that he is actually three years old. It just doesn't seem like that long ago that I was pregnant with him! He asked for Thomas the Train like Sebastien, with the wooden track and trains plus Cranky the Crane. This was the first time he has actually asked us for something other than a truck since he was 18 months. We bought it for him and gave it to him first thing in the morning before Jason left for work. I thought this would be best since we wouldn't be able to pry him away from it at bedtime if we gave it to him at 6:30 when Jason came home. He played with it all morning while watching the Thomas the Train video his Great Grammie gave him. Then he went to Gymboree while Kristyn and I celebrated at Panera. When he woke up from his nap, his friends Josh, Conner, and Lauren (who babysits for him) came over for cake. Then Toni stopped by with a bridge to go with the train tracks. Jason came home and we had a quick dinner before his dad stopped by to give Nicholas a remote control truck and have a piece of cake. In between all of this, there were phone calls from Nana, Poppy, Uncle Markie, Aunt Wendy, Grammie, and Aunt Missy plus cards that came in the mail and lots of presents from everyone, too! It was quite a day for our little guy, he is just amazing! Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and gifts!
