Miles is 3! Can you believe it? I started this blog when I was pregnant with him - preparing things before he was born. It's hard to believe that he's a preschooler now. Our little, smart, handsome man.
This year I asked Miles want he wanted for his birthday and he said "cookies." I tried to clarify and ask what toys he wanted but he still said "cookies." That's our boy! He has lots of opinions and wanted pancakes for dinner on his actual birthday so we just had a little celebration that evening with cookies and candles for dessert.
We had his birthday party on Saturday and grandma and grandpa Nickolay, the Sievers and Matt, Janelle and Bradyn all came. Miles wanted a chocolate cake and ice cream and decided on a Thomas the Train theme. He chose the menu too - pizza and jello jigglers. I added watermelon and veggies for a little balance (which Miles didn't eat). We had a great time playing with balloons, playing in the water, opening presents and celebrating Miles.
For the record (in case he wants to know someday what kind of toys he played with when he was little) he got: a race car set, finger paints, a water bottle, play food, games like Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders, books, money for college, pjs, a puzzle, new clothes, a play laptop and a real, mini acoustic guitar. He's a very lucky little boy.
We're entering into a new chapter with Miles. He still amazes us by how smart and funny he is but he seems so grown up now - definitely no longer the baby. Tonight, after Hadley went to bed, we played Candy Land with him. He not only has the patience to play but follows the rules (most of the time) just like a big boy. He even likes to pretend his little figurine is eating the candy along the way (just like I did when I was little). Happy birthday Miles. We love you so much!
