3 Years Old

The memories keep flashing in front of my eyes. July 4, 2006 at 8:42 pm he was born and our lives were changed forever. He keeps me going every single day. He is the source of so many of my smiles, laughs, and so many of my tears. He is the reason I toss and turn at night with worry. He is the reason my heart has never felt so full. There are three days in my life that really whole heartedly mean something to me. The day Jt and I were married and the birthdays of my two kids. The 4th of July takes on such a deeper meaning to me now and I enjoy the holiday that much more. Although I must admit my sons birth takes presidence for me and I always think of fireworks as a huge celebration for just him.
My family has rich tradition is celebrating birthdays to the core. We actually began celebrating last Saturday with what Boston called "Birthday cake A Dinos." How blessed are we to have such great friends, neighbors and family.
On Friday evening we ate cake and ice cream with family. As Boston would say, "birthday cake a fiders the man!" Again, he was spoiled beyond belief and I was left thinking why do I worry so much about him being lonely when so many people love him.
He had to switch his responce to "how old are you?" on Saturday from "two..almost bree (3)" to "I'm 3." We had a huge 4th party at JT's aunt and uncle's and then a bbq with my grandparents after. We planned on taking the birthday boy to a big fireworks show at Thanksgiving Point but as he got in the tub he said "a take a nap?" and we just couldn't make him stay up. So, we rounded off the birthday celebrations with a good game of "brown bear panda bear" with Grandma and more birthday cake a fiders the man. Plus a mini fireworks show in front of our house.
Thanks Mom and Dad for coming up and to everyone who made his birthday so special.
Now on to a big week. We have him re-evaluated and officially diagnosed by Mr. 4-Letter-Word Psycologist on Thursday. Quite frankly, I don't care about any spectrum. He's made the past 3 years of our lives the best; I can't wait for the years to follow, and I think his "quirkiness" is outright extraordinary. We love you Boston.
