Happy Birthday Hen Hen...you are 3!

Dear Henry,

Your Dad and I cannot believe you are already 3!  It has been so much fun seeing you go from baby to 3 year old toddler.  

Well, let's just say that it is so much fun when... you are being that cute, fun and adorable little boy.  You have such a lively spirit, you enjoy your days.  You are not shy.  You enjoy people.  You are a ham.  You love to laugh and you love to make others laugh.  You are an incredible share-er for a 'just turned 3 year old'.  You care for other people and their feelings.  You are sensitive.  When you and Sophia are giggling and playing together it warms my heart beyond comprehension.

Now, to be clear, there are also days that you are not so much fun.  You are mischievous (see previous posts).  You seem to pick 'fights' a lot with your sister...I know you love Sophia and just want her attention :)  You have a lot of passion for how you feel.  And this passion goes both ways.  When you are happy, you are so happy!  But boy when you are mad or upset about something...you are crystal clear about how you feel.  No doubt.  You are an easy read my little man.

One seemingly wise grandmother noticed all of this at the school playground one morning and said something that made me have one of those those 'A-ha!' ...It went something like this, "Boy, if you can harness all of that energy, his passion and feelings, he is going to do great things in the future..."  Wow, what insight!  We believe you will do great things in future Henry.   

We love you little man...you are our dear Hen Hen.  Wishing you a wonderful and special 3rd birthday.  Hope you enjoyed your party at Little Monkey Business!  And we believe that yes, you will do great things in the future.

We found the perfect cake!

And who couldn't use the perfect fireman's costume?

Oh Maggie...the first girl to make Henry blush :)

 

Loved the cake!
