And … only 2 plus months after the fact … Tommy turned 3!
This little boy was all about his birthday. He was excited enough, but Rusty kept asking the date and counting down which only made Tommy even more excited!
This door decorating thing is a cute idea, until 11 o’clock the night before the boys’ birthdays when I suddenly remember that I need to do it and that I’ve already packed most of the craft paper and other items I use for decorating.
But since it is just too cute of a way to document birthdays, I’ll keep it up. See what a good mom I am? (cough – cough)
Tommy was excited that it was finally HIS turn to open the presents. February was a hard month on him – having to watch Billy and Rusty and me open gifts and him having to keep his hands off. This time the pleasure was all his!
Tommy was even really good about sharing his new Gotham City Batman play set … and didn’t fuss too much about Billy monopolizing the new Bruce Wayne/Batman toy.
During the day, we’d ask Tommy how old he was now and he’d proudly decree, “I free!” Rusty couldn’t handle that. He would correct him every time, “No, Tommy! You aren’t free until you blow out your candles! THEN you are free!”
I finally told Rusty that turning three had nothing to do with birthday candles and he said, “Oh. Okay. Tommy you aren’t free until after you eat your berfday cake!”
More present opening after dinner which resulted in more of these adorable thank-you-hugs-and-kisses …
My baby is 3 (and two plus months)!! He is so much fun and such a turkey! Tommy has an incredibly expressive face and raises his eyebrows, scrunches up his nose, squints his eyes – all for no good reason sometimes. He adores his “bwudders” and wants to do everything they do. He will come up beside you, grab your hand and ask, “what you doin?” He’s more snuggly than my other boys have been and a kiss will still make his owies better. Tommy is full of mischief and will wait and watch for his brothers to put something down so he can grab it and run away doing his evil laugh. Most days he’ll tell me he loves me. And I certainly love this little ball of fire!
