Three. 3. Three!

Jacob turned three this week. We celebrated over the weekend with family. And a picnic. And Elmo.

It was fabulous.

We haven't yet had a 'big' party for Jacob with a lot of other little people partly because Jacob's parents don't have the energy (or inclination) to plan that kind of thing but mostly because we don't think it's quite the time. Jacob gets overwhelmed with a lot of people and can retreat into quiet observer position pretty quickly. Not exactly how one might want to celebrate. As he gets older, he's gotten more rambunctious so who knows, maybe four will be the 'big' party year.

At three with all of his closest peeps around him, he was all about a party and celebrating... blowing out candles, digging into sugary stuff, ripping paper, getting absorbed in new toys.... and books and books and books...

It's true we can't really believe he's three already. Time does seem to disappear in front of our eyes and as it does, Jacob seems to be growing at lightning speed.

At the same time it's been a kinda long three years in our family (for a multitude of reasons). So we can't exactly say it's flown by. Not exactly. Not sure how to resolve those two observations.... or even if we need to.

At the end of the day our amazing little man is still three.

Three? Three! Like a bonafide toddler. For realz.

Happy Birthday Jacob !!!!!
