Three

T turns three today. Quite frankly, I've been sitting here, staring at the blinking cursor for some time now, trying to come up with something to say about it. It's hard.

Not, because, you know, I have nothing to say, but rather, that everything I attempted to write sounded like the verbal equivalent of a Thomas Kincade painting. There's truth to all the cliches, and trying to find the right words without them sounding trite and hackneyed was proving to be quite the challenge. I then remembered this post, and went back and reread it. Honestly? It's one of my favorite things I've written to date, and says everything, EVERYTHING I'm feeling about my sweet (and sometimes tough) little boy growing a year older.



We! Are very excited! About the 90-degree weather! And are therefore spinning!! SPINNNINNNNG!

Happy birthday, buddy.

And Happy Birth Day to you too, Mom. I always think our kids birthdays should celebrate us making it another year.

Great picture.

Happy birthday T! And Thomas Kincade...I once dated a guy who LOVED TK's "art". The relationship, well, it didn't last too long.
