Jasper is THREE!

THREE!! I can't believe it, 1 and 2 seemed easy but having Jasper turn 3 has been emotional for me. We no longer have a baby, and he's growing up fast. I know, I know...it's only 3....but it feels so huge. He reasons with us, has thoughtful conversations, wants to learn things--is in the "WHY? phase---everything is Why? Why? Why? He makes jokes! LOVES to rhyme words. For his birthday he asked for a new instrument, he now has a saxophone! and the one thing her REALLY wanted for his birthday was a periscope :-)

Jasper had a great birthday party with all of his friends, we hired a face painter/balloon guy named Oliver Twist. Jasper was Batman! I think Jasper was so happy all day, his face was all lit up when everyone was singing Happy Birthday to him, he had his friends help him open his presents, we had cupcakes.

Here he is with some of his friends from the party: from L-R, Giuseppe, Ella, Sophia, Jasper, Zane and Miles.
