...and he's 3

Erik is 3.  That went by SO fast! It feels like he was just born yesterday, well except for all those sleepless nights when he was born, oh....and all the diapers, and .... well I guess it has been three years, but they still went by fast!!

This is what I've learned about Erik.
    He loves Toy Story and Monster's Inc - especially Buzz Lightyear!
    He listens to everything I say to spout it back at me at the most inappropriate times
    He's loud - really really loud. But he hates loud things....interesting.
    He memorizes things very quickly - again, to spout them out loudly and inappropriate times
    He's super happy - most of the time
    He's learned to whine......ugh
   He's super funny - all the time!
    He's a morning person - no matter what time I put him to bed he's up at 6:00am, so he goes to bed at 7.  If I can't have my mornings I'm definitely taking the evenings!
   He's a super snugly boy
   I'm more in love with him today than I was yesterday.

He HATES the Happy Birthday song, But he does like chocolate cake...he wanted a "chocolate rainbow cake" so this is what I came up with.

He also enjoyed all his little gifts..

 So for his party we went very low key, no big party - but we did go to the fair, which was his choice. The cowboy hat was his father's choice ?!?!

He loves animals so off to the fair we went in search of farm animals. We found plenty!!  Erik walked through that barn like he owned the place calling "Hi Pigs!, Hi Sheep-ez!" He was in heaven.  Mike and I were in a stinky barn, but hey...

Here's a little video I made from pictures throughout the year to end the festivities!  The birthday week has officially closed and now we will work on not whining and sitting on the potty instead of yelling at.."Oh! I feel it! Here comes a big poop!!".........one of those inappropriate items I mentioned earlier.
