Happy Birthday JAC!

JAC turned three today.  Oh my heart!  He woke up so excited and spent the morning racing around the house screaming.  "My Birthday! I get presents and I get cake and I make cookies."  He was practically dancing all morning.  I loved seeing him so happy.

Jess stayed home from work and helped put together a little party.  A few friends came over and we decorated cookies, ate cake and opened presents.  JAC opened each gift and would shout, "I love it."  He was exhausted by nap time but I caught him playing with his new toys on his bed instead of sleeping.  Later we took him out for pizza and he fell asleep without even eating his dinner.

I know every mother says things like this but, "He seems so different from average three year old."  He seems smarter, more thoughtful, more confident and capable.  I think he could be turning five today or maybe eight.  He frustrates me and challenges me but mainly I'm crazy about this kid.  I am so happy to spend the day celebrating JAC. He is a complicated creature and I would have it no other way.
