Happy Birthday to Buddy

Three years ago today our sweet Grant joined our family and changed our lives. He has been the source of so much joy, excitement, love and laughter as well as frustration, worry and concern (as every parent of a toddler can attest to...well, I guess preschooler now). We truly feel so very blessed to have him in our lives. We love this boy so much!!

Grant has such a fun, happy personality and he definitely makes life exciting. I love that he has been able to communicate so well for so long, it's fun to talk to him and hear the things he has to say. He always has us laughing.

Some of Grant's favorite activities include: riding his bike, reading, playing with friends, watching movies, singing, listening to music, helping with chores, playing his computer games and eating. He is also a great big brother and I can see that he and Tate are developing a good relationship as Tate can now play more with Grant (which does my heart good :).

Today for his birthday I let him decide what he wanted to do. We spent half the day at one of his favorite places, COSI. He then got to skip quiet time to watch a movie of his choice, he chose Aladin. He picked pizza for dinner and then we headed to Greater's for some awesome ice cream and playing in their kiddy play area. I think he could say this was his best birthday yet (you know, not too many to choose from).
It is only to become better after his Batman Birthday party with his friends this weekend, which he has been asking for since going to a friend's Spider Man party last summer. Pictures to come...

What a cute preschooler at that! I like the idea of letting them choose what to do all day on their birthday. I think I'll use that when McKenna turns three. :)
