Colin turns THREE!

April 26, 2011

We made it!  We survived the twos with Colin and we're so glad to be embracing the threes! Phew!  Colin's second year of life kept us all on our toes! 

It is no surprise Colin's birthday had a BIG train theme to it.  With the movers coming in just a few days, I'm just grateful we had a little paper available and my Cricut still out to make this cake fun!

At our house, it is all about the CAKE. I surprised Colin with his cake and well, you can see, he LOVED it!  I've been so preoccupied with all that is involved with moving that Colin probably thought we had forgotten about him.  I think it made this birthday all the more special because we stopped life and just focused on our sweet, sweet boy.

Third birthday are just so fun.  it is really the first birthday that they REMEMBER and LOOK FORWARD TO.  They enjoy it so much because they know what to expect. 

Some things we LOVE about Colin:

It takes a phD in linguistics to understand him.  If there's a consonant in the word, Colin replaces it with a "K" sound. It's tough at first, but give him a try and before you know it, he's grabbed your heart and BOTH of your ears!

He captivates you.  Colin has a charisma that captures your attention and keeps you listening for hours.  His eyes widen and he just loves to tell you all about whatever it is that he just experienced. 

He is the best cuddler in the family.  Colin can never GET or GIVE enough HUGS!

He loves TRAINS.  I love that he has found something all his own.  He is our third child and he spends a large chunk of his time trying to be just like his older brother and sister. If he only knew how much his personality holds its own in our family.  I'm so glad that he has found train play as something that is solely important to him!

Happy Birthday Colin!  We love you!
