Oh how time flies!

On Friday, October 9th, our baby(big??) boy turned 3! I cannot believe how big he is getting. He just seems so grown up now. It's been a big year for Little N! He learned to pedal his tricycle, and swim with his water wings on, and of course one huge milestone was the potty training. We also did lots of traveling...Montana, St. Louis, Yellowstone, South Dakota, and now we can add Florida! For Little N's birthday, he got to go to Disneyworld!! What more could a three year old boy want than to meet Mickey Mouse on his birthday! P is a huge fan of Disneyworld, in fact this was not N's first time there. So, I thought that since in 2009, if you go to Disneyworld on your actual birthday, you get in free, that it seemed like just the push I needed to head on down! Little N talked about it for weeks and how he was going to Mickey Mouse's house, which I am sure those weeks seemed like an eternity for a little boy, but finally, the big day came! He had soooo much fun and so did P, Miss M, and Grancy, who all went along! Poor S had to work, but we are hoping to go next year for more than a day and take S along with us! Here are some pics of our big day!

If you go to Disneyworld on your birthday, you get to wear a button that says Happy Birthday and it has your name on it and all day long, all the people who work at Disney say "Happy Birthday Nathan!" It was such a cool experience!

Finally! The moment he has been waiting for! We went to Mickey Mouse's house and there in the back yard was Mickey himself and N got to meet him and Minnie and get his picture taken. I think he was a little star struck! :) He didn't have too much to say, but gave them hugs.

Mmm...a Mickey ice cream bar while we wait for the parade to start.

There's Mickey again! What a great parade and a great day!

Miss M also had a blast! She got a little Minnie Mouse doll that she has been cuddling(and eating) ever since we got her.

It was one looooong day, but what a blast we all had! N was very excited about everything we did, which made it all the more fun for P and Grancy. P and N went on a race car ride(his favorite thing of the day) and he got to drive the car. Oh if you could have seen the look on his face when he found out he could drive! He got off the ride and told Grancy "now I can drive your car!" When she asked him how old he was he said "sixteen!" and she said, "you can be 16 today in Disneyworld, but when we go back home, you will need to be 3 again." It was a great time of year to go. The lines were not bad at all and we got in so many fun things! We rode the Dumbo ride, Aladdin's Magic carpets, the Jungle Cruise, Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, Small World, the carousel, the race cars, and some others. We cannot wait to go back!

Little N, you are more fun every day and we feel so very lucky to have such a great little boy in our lives! Happy Birthday and we love you lots and lots!!

Love,

Mommy, Daddy, and Miss M
