Josiah's 3rd Birthday!!!

     So, my son will be turning three soon. It is very bittersweet. Especially since I have another child, who is 4 months now. She reminds me of how he used to be when he was a baby. Today I was giving her a bath and she looked just like her brother with every face she made. For his birthday we bought my son Josiah a big boy bed! We put it together last night. Jo was a little confused at first when we told him we got him a bed, but pulled out several individual pieces from a box. He immediately said, "I'll fix it!" It was the cutest thing. He helped his daddy screw in the pieces together and was so excited to help. Once the bed was done we put the mattress on and Josiah finally realized what it was. He jumped up and down so excited to have a new bed. His old toddler bed broke a couple weeks ago when Noah, his daddy, sat on it. So Josiah had been sleeping on his toddler mattress for a while. He probably thought that was how it was gonna be from now on. Poor guy. That night when we laid him down to sleep he was so happy. It melted my heart and his joy overflowed to me. To see my kids happiness is what brings me the most joy. The bitter part is with everyday he's saying bigger sentences and looks more grown up. I can see him growing up before my very eyes. This is a hard thing for me. I really do wish he could stay my little baby forever. This year we are going to celebrate his birthday like crazy. We have a trip to Branson planned for this weekend. One to Tulsa the next to go visit his aunt and uncle. And Lastly, one big shindig inviting the whole family. This little boy has his momma rapped around his fingers. I love him and really hopes he enjoys his birthday this year. I know I will! I'm hoping this birthday that he will know how special he is to me and his father.
