Happy Birthday Kade!

That's right, our little man is 3! I can't believe how quickly that flew by. He's done so much in his 3 short years. His only request was an airplane birthday cake so I attempted. He woke up from his nap, came into the kitchen, gasped and stood there for a little bit with his mouth hanging open then said, "Wow, that is so beautiful." I don't care how ugly and disgusting it may have been, he was happy!
My Mom should be happy to know that I'm well on my way to "having 10 just like me." No I'm not having 10 children! But yes, Kade is the start of what my mom always wished upon me. The best part is that I'd always say, "I hope I do to, I really like myself!" I'm eating ALL my words. Funny how parenthood makes you do that.
Kade is a climber and always wants to be in the middle of everything. I don't think he's afraid of anything! He is always getting encouragement from his Uncles to do tricks on his motorcycle and he just loves to show off. The combination of the two would scare me but I have 5 crazy brothers and a Dad who survived the whole fearless motorcycle thing. I love it! His dirty fingerprints are everywhere. Around 18 months he transformed into a slug and since then you always know where he is or where he's been by the little trail he leaves behind. The phase of always wanting to be clean, sadly, didn't last long enough. He's always been very serious and always thinking or contemplating something. He remembers everything and catches on quickly. He's one of a kind! He's so dramatic, sometimes quiet, very loving and very playful. We love having him around, he's a sweet brother and at times my little "gopher." Happy Birthday Kade!
