Happy 3rd Birthday, C.J.!

Today C.J. turned three! We sure can't imagine life without him--he certainly has changed our lives.

Thanks to him, we have 55 episodes of Curious George saved in our TiVo. We watch it first thing in the morning, and sometimes before bed at night. And lest you think that's all we watch, we know Toy Story and Toy Story II by heart. We get in trouble by C.J. when we say the word "stupid," and he melts our hearts when he spontaneously tells us, "I love you SO much." He totally knows how to manipulate us (well, me more than Barry) into giving him a treat or buying him something he sees at the store. ("It would make me SO happy.") Whenever we leave for work he insists on a little hug, a big hug, and a kiss. And then all of those things all over again. He even hugs and kisses the phone before hanging up. He adores playing outside so we're grateful he loves hats so much.

And he sure had a great birthday. He's already taken a bath with his new goggles.

He's starting to figure out his new bike.
Some kids have pony rides at their parties. We had digger rides tonight! Aubrey was pretty scared, but Andy ate it up! (More on the backyard project later.)
Happy birthday, C.J.! We love you!
