Our little monkey turned three earlier this month! He had a great time celebrating his big day with friends and family and thoroughly enjoyed both of his birthday cakes. He chose a train cake for his kid party, but then got to pick out another one to celebrate with family over his birthday weekend. This one was a construction site cake and as you can see it was the highlight of his birthday. He insisted on eating his entire piece of cake AND ice cream with the toy excavator that decorated the top. We all were ready to move on to presents, but no...Nicholas was still digging and eating. It took quite some time and was funny to watch.It's hard to believe that three years have gone by already. He's such a great kid...full of spunk and lots of energy. But he's really keeping us on our toes these days always exploring the world around him and finding something (bad) to get into. He doesn't like to stay with "the herd" when we're out and about and is totally content to venture off on his own...or migrate into a new herd...which is a bit stressful. I recently enrolled him in storytime at the library and he's managed to get himself kicked out twice already. What..you're not allowed to hit the other kids over the head with the cushions they're sitting on? I was horrified. He definately doesn't follow "the rules" and lately has been getting a real rise out of his siblings....just because he can. He's three...and he knows it!! I love that kid.


Nicholas loves his new scooter! He's been using Jacob's old one and was excited to have a new one of his own.
Happy Birthday, Nicholas!!
