so i did what i knew to be right. i asked my child where he wanted to have his party. and because i've lost my mind, i even gave him choices. yes, i did. i'm pretty proud. although, i must say that i know him well. i know that usually whatever choice you give him last..that's the one he goes with. i think it's a short term memory deal.
anyway, i rattled off, "burns park funland, chuck e cheese, larry's pizza or the jump house."
i was hoping he would say the jump house because it's air conditioned and they basically do everything for you. and there isn't much chance of losing a kid. like at larry's. i always worry about that.
and so immediately he screamed, "the jump house, mom! the jump house! wait...do they have a slide?!"
yes, they do. my answer was, "yes. they do. remember, mr. adam went down the slide with you at his little girl's birthday party. but i think you're big enough now to go alone."
that sealed the deal. the slide. and so mr. adam....if you're reading this, you're off the hook this time :) you are welcome! ha.
yesterday i started thinking about cake and lunch. so i asked what he wanted. pizza. and "cupcakes and maybe a little cake too." he told me he wanted white cake with strawberry icing and sprinkles. "yots of sprinkles, mom."
oh, with mickey mouse too. i don't know where this is coming from. but if it remains that way, mickey mouse it will be. napkins and plates maybe. i don't know.
i can't believe he will be 3 in 2 months. 3. 3 years old. i told him it was my favorite number and so now he's telling people that. "i'll be 3 soon. it's my mommy's favorite."
3 going on 30.
and i'll say now that no matter what happens during his third year of life, i'll do my best to remember every single day, just how blessed we are. he's happy and healthy...and i know that counts for so much.
remind me of this when he's having a meltdown in front of God and everyone and i'm screaming for someone to get me my zoloft and a route 44 ddp from sonic.
oh, i took these yesterday. he had fallen asleep in the car. why did he get those eyelashes!? why not me. i'm jealous.

I love this. I love the story and the pictures. it makes my heart smile. he looks so excited in that first one and full of life. so perfect. it made me giggle... I needed that today. and the pictures of him sleeping. well precious-- but yank at my heart strings. those puffy lips. Dear Pratt, number 3 is my favorite number too! I will make you a list of reasons why and mail it soon.
