I am 3 today!

Since today is my 3rd birthday I thought I would let mommy post about it. I know it is a memorable day to her.

Mommy~ I can remember the day I had Frank. He was so tiny and beautiful. This morning he walked into my room and woke me up I looked at my big three year old and could still see his little tiny infant self in his eyes. He is even more beautiful three years later. I am so grateful that God gave me the privilege to know this precious angel, and even more trust him in my care. I have enjoyed the last three years so much. I am not going to say it has been easy or happy at all times. There are days that he can push my patience to the max. There are days that I wish toddler hood was over. But then there are days like today that make my heart melt and want him to stay this age forever. Days like today make me realize how my mom always talked about how much fun she had with me as a child. I can see how she loved me so much. Because when I look at Frank I feel that love for him. Some moments I wish I could freeze in time and play over and over. I can not wait to continue to watch my sweet boy grow and learn and become a wonderful person. Today Bryan and I are taking Frank to see Thomas the train and go on a train ride. Bryan found the event on the computer a month ago and showed me and both of us knew we wanted to take him. And best part is it was on his birthday, so we ordered the tickets immediately. We have been so excited for this event because we know Frank will go crazy about it. It is so funny to me that when I was little I was so excited about my birthday. And now I am so much more excited to see Frank on his birthday light up the world with excitement. My birthday just doesn't even compare. Just seeing Frank smile with excitement is the only gift me as a mother could ever need. I could have absolutely nothing else and I would be content.

Frank did have a wonderful day with Thomas. It rained the whole time and my feet were soaked. But it did not even matter. I would have stood in the rain all day for him to have that experience. He yelled Thomas as soon as we drove up. He waved at him and smiled so big. He got to take a picture with Thomas and Sir Topham Hat, who he calls Thomas Hat. We got to go on a train ride and Frank loved it. We bought him a cd of Thomas songs and the whole way home he danced to the music. So adorable. We took him to eat at the Rainforest Cafe. He thought it was so neat. He watched all the animals. Then they sang to him and brought him ice cream with a cherry. Which he only ate the cherry. Frank loves cherries.

Frank's birthday was a wonderful day. I hope he remembers it always. My little boy is getting so big, and is wonderful. I know no matter how challenging the toddler years gets, I will always see that smile and all the frustration melts away. Motherhood is the best gift of all.

Frank happy birthday my beautiful boy. Mommy and Daddy love you!
