Jack's 3

Our baby is 3 now. So many people have told me "oh 3 is way harder than 2 is". Jack is so full of spunk and energy that I can't imagine 3 being more crazy than 2 was. Don't get me wrong, Jack makes me laugh just about everyday with his bright personality, and excitement for life, and all the things in it. But along with that there were plenty of tears of frustration, and exhaust trying to either catch him so he didn't get run over, or chase him through the halls of the church, or anywhere else we might be that running isn't appropriate. Jack is "My Sunshine Boy" as I call him, and he brings so much life to our lives. We love him. His birthday started out with a wonderful present from his sister Emma. She bought him a book at the school book fair. She read it to him several times before breakfast. We had a normal morning... trip to the gym, morning clean up around the house. Then we went to Wal-Mart to pick out a toy with the gift card his grandparents had given him. He choose a remote control car. We then had Grandma and Grandpa Ahlstrom, and the Crane family over for chicken noodle soup and cake and ice cream. Oh and presents of course! Jack loved all of his gifts. He is so animated and expressive, I just love to see how excited he gets over everything. We had a wonderful evening celebrating Jack.
