It is true! We officially have a three year old! I can't believe it! It seriously seems like yesterday I was crying my eyes out wondering why they were going to let this baby come home with me. I am glad they did because it has been amazing to have Oak be the kid who got our family started.
We had an awesome time celebrating Oak. He woke up Friday morning to a room full of balloons and streamers, followed by heart pancakes with candles, a trip to the Durham Life and Science Museum with some good friends, no nap and Chick-fil-a for dinner. It was a wonderful birthday.
On Saturday we had his party at his favorite park that he calls the "crazy park." We had a superhero themed party complete with the most amazing superhero cake ever made by my sister-in-law. The kids just played at the park and we ate breakfast and had cake. Oak was mostly interested in his presents and really couldn't wait to open them. Once all the presents were open he stood and thanked everyone for coming to his party.
It was really wonderful to be able to celebrate Oak all weekend. I have heard that three is easier than two from some people and that it is harder from some people. So far I feel like it has been the same, not better not worse. I am not sure what to expect, but I am excited to have another year to love Oak and to watch him learn and grow daily.
