Birthday Cuddles

Baby #2 turned 3 years old today. I guess it's about time his age matched his "skill level." Kav & Kjo had fun tonight at the Bk playland. He didn't know or care that we'd run short on time to fulfill our original plans of going to a larger-scale indoor playground. We came home to cake (I was very proud of myself for getting my act together today and purchasing a cake mix while Kjo was at preschool) and a few presents. Grandma and Grandpa Johnson and Grandma and Grandpa Robinson called right in a row, and just in time before bed.

The best part of the night was just a bit ago when I woke him up for a 10 p.m. potty break. We are putting him to bed for now without his diaper to help with his rashes. He's so cute and cuddly when he's so out of it! Before putting him back to bed, I asked if I could rock him and he readily agreed. I sang a few of the songs I used to sing to him as a baby. He sucked his thumb and held his lambies in tight. I sang happy birthday one more time before tucking him back in. I left feeling very thankful for 3 whole years of cuddles.
