Life with a three year old!

Cadence turned three earlier this month and it was wonderful to have a birthday party and for him to actually understand what it was about! We took him to Incredible Pizza, Co. in Tulsa with some family, and, after eating about two bites he was off to the game room! After opening presents and requesting that we sing to him, he rode the go-karts with Daddy. He still talks about this day almost a month later.

For his birthday gift from us we decided that he didn't need toys (and Mimi had the clothes covered) so we wanted to make his room a "big boy" room. We transformed his room into a comic book! We filled it with art work (made by friends and family), new bedding and some small touches to show him that he was special! He thinks he still needs to show Nana and Mimi his new room every time we FaceTime.

Living with a three year old has been an adventure. We had the terrible-two's... bad. But that is also partially due to major life changes we had that year. Now as a 3 year old, we've talked with him about lying, respect, and please for your mother's sake will you hold your peepee down when you potty! He can be sneaky and hide while eating candy, he isn't completely potty-trained, and well, he likes the word "No"... a lot. He can have full conversations with you and tell you everything he did "lasterday". He enjoys helping with the dishes and cooking. He tortures the dog but then will play for hours outside with him. He loves the Campus House, puzzles, and talking on the phone.

We are looking forward to this next year with our big boy. Parenting is becoming more challenging but more rewarding as well. We are excited about the things he will say and surprise us with. Josh loves teaching him about sports and I love to get my snuggles first thing in the morning. Cadence Michael (or "Bob" as he says his middle name) is just a joy to have! We love him so much!
