Happy Birthday Carson!

I guess when you are 3 years old, it means you get to have a 3-day birthday! Or it falls over a weekend and ends up being a 3 day event...talk about spoiled! It started out with his little party. He had friends and family over to play at the splash park and he had a great time. Thanks to all those who came and for the gifts, he is in toy heaven right now! Then we decided to let him open his presents a day early because Jake and I were both home and we thought it would be nice for him to be able to play with them with Jake and I, and then Jake was around to help me put toys together. :) Then by the time his actual birthday came around, we had almost changed our mind about taking him to ChuckECheese since he had already had so many birthday things, but we had told him that we were going to take him, so we decided to take him anyway. He was freaking out! It's the first time that he's been there, and I have heard about nothing else since then. So it ended up being quite an eventful couple of days for him. He still sings "Happy Birthday" to himself, I'm sure he thinks that every day is his birthday now...

And at this milestone, I thought it would be fun to record some of his favorite things and some things that I just adore about him:

--He loves his daddy and wants to be just like him. I love watching him follow Jake around with tools, or a shovel or whatever is required for the current project.

--He absolutely is obsessed with all things 4Wheeler! He would ride them every day if he could!

--He is really good at learning the words to songs, he has such a good memory. I love to hear him in the other room singing songs to himself when he thinks we aren't listening and sometimes he even sings to Marcus or Shalise, so cute. :)

--Carson loves trucks, trailers, cars, pretty much anything that has wheels. He always has something in his hand that he riding on the furniture in our house and of course making appropriate sound effects.

--I love that Carson is such a great helper with Marcus & Shalise and always wants to know where they are. He is so concerned about them if they are not around.

--I love Carson's energy, his smile and his laugh, it is so contagious. Nothing makes me happier than to hear him hysterical with laugher! Happy 3rd Birthday, we love you!!
