Reuben is 3

Last week it was Boos birthday, a great big 3! It was the first year that he has really cared about it and he was very excited about becoming a 'Big Boy'. When asked what he wanted for his birthday he would just reply "A number 3 cake", then a few days before his actual birthday he suddenly said, "Actually, I would like a present all wrapped up, and a present for Rowan, and my Mummy and my Daddy" Bless him! He is so loving and caring he couldn't possibly hog the limelight and be the only one getting the attention and presents. On the day he made sure that Rowan always helped him to unwrap each parcel.

He had a lovely day, pressies in bed, a trip to Dairyland with friends, which he loved as there was loads of baby animals for stroking and he went on the Demon drop! Then we came home for a bbq with family, the his amazing number 3 cake and then he sat up and watched a DVD with Nanny and Grandad whilst me and Tris went out (It was Tris' birthday the day before Reubens)

I can't believe he is 3 already, where does it go? Part of me is a bit sad my baby is growing up so fast, but the other part of me feels blessed to have such an amazing, caring, loving and funny son.

Happy Birthday Reuben you crazy little chickpea xxx

Every year I make the boys cards with a photo from each month of the last year, its lovely for them to look back, although Reuben did ask "whos that?" a couple of times!

They do a session called 'pat a pet' that Reu really wanted to do (I think it was stroking rabbits etc) but on our way there we came across a zip wire and by the time everyone had finished on that 'pat a pet' had finished, but Reu was quite happy stroking anything he could find, wether it was real or not!
