Bodie turns 3!

Happy 3rd Birthday Bodie! Today we celebrated you. 

You are such a sweet and friendly little boy.

You love the color blue and this year you requested an umi zoomi birthday.

I love to carry on my mom's tradition of decorating for the kids's birthdays. 

I so enjoy the night of preparation and anticipation for the special day.

 Bodie- You love to smile and make us laugh.

You are creative and smart and love to build things and take things apart.

You love books and snuggles. 

You love when your dad says silly rhyming titles to books before reading them to you.

You love to play store, cash register, trains, construction, go outside, playdoh, painting, puzzles, listen to music, eat strawberries and drink smoothies. You are my little angel that gives the best hugs and makes me smile.

 Today we listened to you as you got so excited for your umi zoomi picture, balloons, and presents. We watched you let izzy help you open your presents and then share them with her. We saw your excitement over new toys and cards with sounds and stickers.

cards from grandma -thank you!

butt bow...hahaha!

presents from aunt mel-thank you!

izzy's gift to bodie- construction tools.
She bought it because she liked the goggles but they are too small.
haha. oh well

lucky charms on birthdays. the day mom says yes to the red box!

 You rode your new scooter with a blue balloon tied to it to drop izzy off at school. It was chilly out so you were all bundled up but you were excited. You had long loved riding izzy's scooter and now you had one of your own! Thanks grandma and grandpa! After we got back from school drop off we played with your presents. The marble run was your favorite. Mine too!

come in. over over.

 Then we had a friend over for donut holes and apple juice. 3 boys on sugar....wowza. i think you had fun though.

 Sadly on the way to pick up izzy you fell on your scooter and hurt your tooth and mouth very badly. Poor little one. I felt so sad for you. and on your birthday. =( You are a strong boy and even though your tooth was in a different place you calmed and seemed okay when we got back home. Snuggles on the bed - just the 3 of us- while you and izzy watched umi zoomi on my kindle and I dozed, followed by play time, and then a nap together....what a perfect afternoon. We went to a pizza place with some friends from graham's work and you loved looking at all the games and pretend playing the car game. After we came back home we sang to you and ate cake! Then bedtime after we all complained of stomach aches from too much sugar, lol.

Happy Birthday my lovey. I'm so lucky I'm your mommy. I love our times together and when you ask me to play with you. I love hearing your creativity and seeing your smile and big brown chocolate eyes. I love when you ask me to lay with you for "just 2,7, 100 more minutes". I love watching you drift off to sleep and I love your awesome snuggles. I love reading books together, playing trains and going exploring. I love when you help me in the kitchen and when we go on walks/runs together. You are such a bright shining light in our family and we love you!
