Three Years in the Blink of an Eye

It doesn't seem possible..my baby is THREE years old today! Where has the time gone?! I feel terrible because I barely got to see him at all today. He, Gracelyn, and Michael are all sick with bad chest congestion and fevers, so they were home all day while I was at work. I had to go to three basketball games after school to take pictures for the yearbook, fly by Wal-Mart to pick up stuff to make cupcakes and a small gift for Ayden to open tonight and then through the McDonald's drive thru to get the birthday boy supper from his favorite place ever. I got home around 8:30 and we didn't even start the cupcakes til after 9!! So we had a late night. Gracelyn and Ayden decorated their own and loved it...probably because they got to make a huge mess with the sprinkles! LOL
We are not having Ayden's party until the 29th of this month, so I wanted him to at least have one gift to open tonight. I got him a little magnifying glass and a miniature lantern that matched (he is absolutely obsessed with flashlights, so I figured he would love the lantern!) It wasn't much at all, but you would've thought I gave him the world.
I love that little boy so much. He is the first one to hug me, kiss me, and tell me he loves me. He never, ever forgets to say his blessing before he eats...and if he gets second servings, he will say it again...and sometimes he'll say it before every bite!! He has such a big heart and is so loving and sweet...now yes, he does have his "moments" where he may not seem like the sweetest boy in the world...but isn't that just called the "Terrible Two's?!" If that's the case, then as of today, the "Terrible Two's" are OVER!!!! Ha!! I somehow doubt it...something tells me it will roll over into the "Terrible Three's!"
But no matter what...that precious boy has hold of Mommy's heart...and always will.

Sweet dreams :)
