Snow for the Birthday Boy...

Today my baby boy turned three. I can't believe it has already been three years since he came into my life. He has brought such joy into my life, the kind you never thought possible. Ever since watching "Frosty the Snowman" he has been so excited for it to snow. Today we got the first big snow storm of the season and I'm convinced it was just for him. He was so excited when he looked out the window today and couldn't wait to get outside. We bundled up and headed out to shovel the driveway. It didn't take very long for him to taste the snow. As I was busy shoveling away I heard him say "Yummm, tastes kind of good." So I decided I better give him the talk...the yellow snow talk. He kept asking me why he shouldn't eat yellow snow. "Why" seems to be one of his favorite words lately. We had a fun time together and here are my favorite three moments that we share together.

1. He loves giving me big running "dinosaur hugs." He tells me to get down on my knees and then he backs up as far as the room allows and runs towards me and gives me a big hug.
2. He loves to talk and sing with me all day long. His favorite song to sing right now goes a little something like this..."Why do birds suddenly appear, every time, you are near? Just like me, they long to be, close to you! Whhhhhy(he really belts this out), close you you!" It's the cutest thing ever! As soon as I get a camera with video mode on it I'm going to record him singing and post it. Hopefully I will get one for Christmas(it is at the top of my Christmas list-hint hint.)
3. He tells me all day long that he "Loves me so much!"

Here is a little Haiku I wrote about the day he was born.

The first time we met
Time paused as I held him close
Our souls linked for life

To Maddy: Happy Birthday Baby! I love you more that words can express! Your smile brightens my life! Love always, Mommy
