Today my little boy is 3 years old! I can't believe how fast the time has gone. We celebrated his birthday yesterday, Sunday, with our friends and family. It was a perfect day. The first nice day we have had in over a week, so that was awesome.
I did not do as well of a job with picture taking as my mother would have, but I did get a few. I still have to upload them so hopefully tonight I can get them posted for you all to enjoy.
I'm going to have to say that Mama and Papa took the prize of the best present with the jeep and Olivia (family friend) took second with a car tent. Nikolas was so excited by everything he got. One good thing with that boy, is he shares the love with all his toys. I really think watching "Toy Story" all the time has taught him how to love his toys and how to play with them. He sleeps with his small toys and hords them in his tent and gets rough with the bigger toys. And of course, Kaden is right there just a few steps behind doing the same thing. :)
I made Nikolas' cake. We had lions and tigers and bears (Oh, My!) as cake pops and a train that they all stuck into. I need to give thanks to Cat and Jeremy Lilly for helping with the building of the train.
I have to admit, his cake was hastily done. It turned out great and everyone loved it but it was hard to prepare on Saturday. Saturday we had some sad news that Duane's Auntie Chee passed away, May 5, 2012. Auntie Chee was very close to both of the boys and loved seeing them, as they loved seeing her. She is very much loved in our family and we will continue to talk to the boys about her as they get older. I just wish Kaden was a little older so he would have a chance to remember her. R.I.P Auntie Chee!!
But, as Auntie Chee would have it no other way, we continued on with the celebration of bo-boy's (that was her name for Nikolas and Kaden) birthday party with her in our hearts.
Today I gave Nikolas extra cake pops to share with all his friends at preschool.
HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY MY LITTLE MAN!! We love you so much and hope you all the happiness in the world!

Kaden in Trouble
Since I have busted Nikolas out with getting into trouble, I better do the same and bust Kaden.
Last week while Kaden was at school, he decided to bite one of the other children TWICE in one day. The child did nothing to him but I guess Kaden had it out for him.....I guess this is proof that he is my kid. :) As I never had this problem with Nikolas, I was at a loss on how to fix the problem. I finally decided that he, Kaden, needed to find out how bad it hurts when you get bit. So, I waited until he bit Nikolas (yes, it was almost an everyday occurrence. But, Nikolas usually deserved it so I didn't do much to stop it) and then I bit him in the arm. He screamed for a while but then got over it. I didn't know if just biting him the one time would fix it or not.
The next day at school, when I pick him up, I asked if had bitten anyone. Both of his teachers just started laughing and couldn't stop. Once they were able to tell me WHY they were laughing, I understood. Kaden was one of three children listening to his teacher read a book. Out of nowhere, Kaden bends down and bites his teacher on the knee. She picks him up to pick on him and he bites her on the shoulder. She then flips him over her back so he is upside down and he bites her again on her side. Yes, as it was to an adult, it was funny. But he was told he couldn't bite by both his teachers and by me.
I believe that all happened Wednesday and Thursday of last week. Since then, he has not tried to bite anyone at all. I hope I don't jinx myself but so far, so good!!
