Borne is 3!!

Yesterday (10-13) Borne turned the big three.  He was excited all day long and when we brought his train cake home he stared at it for at least 30 minutes and keep asking if we could open it.

The last couple of weeks when we asked Borne what he wanted for his birthday every time he said choo choo train.  So he got a train cake and got a couple of train sets from people at his party.  He made out like it was Christmas at his party.  He'll be good with new toys for a while.

It seems like Borne has been 2 forever for some reason and we are excited to see what Borne is like at 3.  Over the last year Borne has grown into a little man.  Sometimes I think he's still so little partially because he still has trouble with his speech but as that continues to improve I keep remembering that's he's no baby anymore.

Borne loves to play with Ian and Evie although both can get pretty annoyed by him!

Borne still challenges both Chris and I daily.  He is a very strong willed little boy and passionate about everything.  This includes how his shirt feels on his back to what he is eating.  When we have these challenging times I try to remind myself that someday these are qualities that are going to turn him into a man and I have a feeling these are the qualities that are going to prove Borne to be successful in what ever he's doing.  I don't think anyone is ever going to walk over Borne.  I also read an article about how little boys that show every emotion are boys that don't keep things bottled in only to explode in the future and usually in harmful ways.  But when we are in these troubled moments it's hard to think of anything but the moment.  So we are hoping in his 3rd year we'll continue to understand Borne more and lose a few challenging days!!

Borne starts preschool next week and he's thrilled.  I think it's going to be so good for him in so many ways.  I'll try and be good and blog about it!  He even got a birthday card in the mail from his new friends - he was pretty darn excited to get it!

Birthday Cake!

At the pumpkin patch today!

A couple of weeks ago Borne found these fake teeth - so funny.  Also he would not stop wearing Ian's book bag around the house - he's ready for school!

Another one of him and Ian at the pumpkin patch today.

Sometimes it's hard to believe that Borne is already 3 years old but he's the cutest kid with a huge personality that I love dearly.  Happy Birthday Borne!
