Liam's 3rd Birthday

It's hard to believe my little guy is three. Three is the age to me that seems "so big." Birthdays make me want to slow time down.
 
Liam woke up and got to open his presents right away. He got lots of good toys from family and friends.

The morning of Liam's birthday, we went to visit Santa. We attended a special breakfast with Santa at Brio. It benefitted the Christmas mother program in our area. It was neat because not only did we get a special breakfast and a visit with Santa, they had special stations set up for the kids, such as cookie decorating, ornament making, etc.

Kale never seems to open his eyes....

After we got home, the boys spent the rest of the day playing with new toys.

This man...isn't he the most photogenic little boy? He is blessed with the most amazing smile. At 3, Liam is very strong willed. He also seems to simultaneously love and hate his brother. Many times, Kale will get in trouble for being mean to Liam, but at the same time, Liam will stand up for Kale. Liam knows some of his letters and sounds and can count to 20. He is great at riding his tricycle, but we are working on riding a bike. He loves all things truck, tool, and construction equipment. He also loves to do arts and crafts. He absolutely adores school and talks frequently about his teacher, Ms. Janie. He is an excellent swimmer. He loves to eat anything starchy. Pizza is one of his favorites, as well as chocolate milk. His favorite show to watch is Barney and loves reading all kinds of books. He still cries when we leave him places like Sunday school. (he has the benefit of always staying with mom and it shows!) He loves to give hugs and kisses and is very affectionate. At 3, Liam weighs 35 pounds and is 39 inches tall. Phrases that Liam says include, "I lube you, mom." "Whateber, momma."

For dinner, we went out for Liam's favorite : pizza.

We were planning to go to a gourmet cupcake place near the pizzeria, but it was pouring down rain, so we decided against. Luckily, my friend, Kendall, made Liam a little mini cake for his birthday, so he got to enjoy that.
