Happy 3rd Birthday Joey!


Today my baby boy turned 3. I can't believe how big he is getting and how independent he has become! Three years ago, I was snugging with the baby in the picture above and now he talks, runs, reads, and is a kid!
Our day started last night when my mom came to visit. This morning, we had the traditional decorated door for his birthday. I think that he forgot it was his birthday until he opened his door and had to walk through the streamers!

My mom wanted to take him to Toys R Us to pick his toy out so we went there and then Joey picked The Olive Garden for lunch. He loves his "rad-i-oli's" or ravioli's as they are more commonly called.
We had a great day and a few firsts for Joey.
1. He went potty at Toys R Us, his first time in a public place!
2. He actually rode a ride. Usually we go to Toys R Us and he likes to look at the riding machines out front but won't actually go on. Today, he asked to ride, got in the Bob the Builder truck and rode it like he has been doing it for years!
3. He turned 3 and started asking "Why?" Seriously, he must have asked "Why" over 50 times today.
The day was great and we ended it with a bike ride outside, dinner and cake!
Happy 3rd Birthday to my big boy Joey!

Stephen does the "why" thing. The only way to get him to stop asking "why" is to start asking him "what", "when", "where" etc. He repeats these other words and after a few he forgets "why" and he thinks it's a fun little game!
