My Big THREE Year Old

Dear Teagan:
Three. That's the number of years old you are. It's bitter sweet, it really is.
On one hand, I don't want you to grow up. But on the other hand, I just love watching you grow and learn and become the little boy that you are.
You come up with the most awesome things to say. Some are a bit embarassing and others are just down right funny.
Last week you were in a bit of a foul mood one morning and you told me "I don't every want to see Vivian again!" I'm not sure what made you so mad at her, but you were mad!
Then one night you told me "I am sick and tired of you mommy!"
You were a bit of a brat after being on vacation with me all week then having to go back to Jenn's.
But our vacation week was wonderful.
The week before vacation started you went to Grandma & Grandpa's and they took you go karting which you thought was the most fun ever and you talked them into taking you twice in one day.
Then lets see, Monday while on vacation we went to have lunch with Gma and Aunt Net. Oh man they're a hoot.
Tuesday was a lazy rainy day and daddy got out of work early and mommy got to go out with her friends for the afternoon/evening.
Wednesday my friends Kaitlin, Erin & Liz came over. Liz is Paxton's mommy. Kaitlin brought him over to play and his mom came about an hour later to hang out. You had fun with him. I think you really enjoyed the company of another boy rather than all those little girls you always play with!
Thursday we went to the Syracuse zoo with Callie, Isla & Eve. We all got to ride together in Callie's car and ended up getting there around noon or so. We had a great day. You just love hanging out with Isla, and you really loved seening all the animals. We had lunch there and dippin dots ice cream and then got some goodies in the gift shop and headed home. Then Friday I ran around and got all the last minute things for your party and you went to Aunt Erin's for a bit.
Come Saturday it was party day!! It was a great turn out! Sunny & warm and oh so much fun was had by all! Grandma brought chicken wing dip and chips and we put that out along with a fruit salad and dip and I made lemonade and sangria for the adults. I put all the food outside this year because this time opf year is "fly season" and I wasn't dealing with people running in and out leaving the door open and a million and one flies coming in (although that's inevitable I decided). So anyway, Aunt Linny & Uncle Tim picked up the pizza and cupcakes at Price Chopper when they came because they had something else to do before your party. The pizza was good and I had made a big toss salad to go with it. Everything was great. After food we did presents and then dessert. I did a whole ice cream bar complete with 12 different toppings plus hot fudge and whipped cream in a waffle cone bowl. I think all you kids had more fun putting all the toppings on your ice cream than eating it. But that was the point!

You got sooo many cool gifts!! It's nice to have new toys to play with!! :-)

Then Monday was your real birthday and you had the extra cupcakes at daycare and a little celebration there. And at your request, we had Velveeta shells and cheese for dinner.

I love you to the moon and back baby.
Love,
Mommy
