Hard to Believe Sweet Pea is Three

A flurry of three year old excitement over the marathon birthday weekend...Owen is of course awake this morning at 5am still talking about "Kids Castle, my firetruck has a big ladder, batman birthday cake, Chucky Cheese, sing Happy birthday with Henry at school, my spiderman bike -

I ride it..." I am still looking at pictures of my baby, wondering where the last 3 years have gone, knowing that like the few women I shared this with yesterday (that chuckled because their babies are 12, 16 or 21)...that the years will continue to fly by. Something to keep in perspective on the mornings I am late for work and dealing with a poopy diaper...

Early Mornings

I was laying in bed this morning thinking about getting up for a quick bike ride before the boys woke up when I heard Owen chatting away in his bed.

"The big red fire truck. Patrick likes the firetruck. He sits in the green tractor..."

Owen has been talking about all different types of trucks since last weekend when we went to "Touch a Truck Day" at Castle Park. The funny thing is that he often is talking about Patrick or talking to Patrick...Patrick, Owen's cousin lives in Canada but by the way that Owen talks about him you would think that Patrick sleeps in Owen's bedroom everynight. Owen will be 3 in less than 2 weeks...he certainly is becoming a big boy...chatting away, having his own interests, expressing his thoughts and ideas. I just wish he would do it after the sun rises...
