3 times the fun!!!

Somehow my baby boy turned three this weekend. I'm not sure how it happened truly?? I feel like just yesterday I was holding him in my arms for the first time and thanking God for this perfect little red-headed person. We've had such a wonderful adventure the past three years with Jack, and this birthday weekend was no exception! Jack was treated to having his Grandma, Grandpa, Gramps, Uncle Peeps and Uncle Tim in town for his special weekend. A great group of friends and family attended the Spiderman party at The Monkey's Treehouse for Jack and his friend, Russell. The kids all had a blast, and Jack basked in the glow of being the center of attention (like most three year olds do!) His favorite and cutest moment was singing happy birthday to himself while pointing around the room and laughing hysterically. He did get some extra candle blowing help from his birthday buddy! We finished off the amazing day with a Nashville Sounds game where Jack got to run the bases, jump on the bungee trampoline and see fireworks. Sawyer was quite the trooper and loved every part of the event, too. He helped Jack celebrate until about 10:00 that night! We all slept in on Sunday! I"ll post more birthday pics when I get them from my Uncle Tim (the photographer)

At 3, Jack:
*loves to dress up and play make believe
*loves to swim, swim, swim
*can't wait to play soccer in the fall
*enjoys reading book after book after book
*sings and talks all day long (where would that come from?)
*doesn't ask why, but rather "What happens if ___blank___?"
*insists on wearing what he wants to wear (clothes and shoes) and prefers to wear pants everyday
*likes to be handsome and have his hair looking good!
*loves to dote on Sawyer and make him laugh (which he can do more than anyone else)
*also loves to annoy Sawyer
*likes to tell me "no" more but is still so easily redirected and apologetic (hope this lasts longer?)
*oscillates between wanting to do everything on his own and still really needing our help
*rarely naps anymore but relishes his quiet time in his room (so do I)
*has finally branched out with his "movies"...we've added Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Diego and Dora to our repetoire.
*loves to play the rhyming game with Mommy!
*asks everday about what adventures we'll be going on??
*remains to still be such an easygoing (thanks Scott), curious, and fun-loving kid...a perfect gift.

We love you, Jack Patrick Egan!!!!
