He is Three...

That's right!  Big Man is celebrating a major milestone today... Kaelster Kael is 3 Years Old!

Remember when he was a little blonde ball o' love with rolls upon rolls to kiss all over?  Me too.  It seems like the longest version of yesterday since our little Horsepower looked like that, but then again, he's learned so much and grown so big that I simply can't dwell on the massive black hole that is time, and I just have to smile and be happy for "Sarge" who has had his birthday celebration planned for months!

I present to you the official list entitled, 

What Kael wants for "Kael's Happy Birfday Party" 2012...

-To go in the white truck to Grampa's red house

-To ride the green one

-To ride the red one

-To ride the yewow one

-To go to a baseball game wif Gramma Jan and Grampa Bob

-To go get candy at Shera's & Harv's

I swear to you, if big fella could write with those massive hands, we would have had post-it-notes all over the house with this list.  And since he can't he has been leaving little creative hints in other ways this past month.  He drags out a cooler, or his suitcase, or Daddy's tackle box.  The other day he was chuckin' food into the cooler like his life depended on it.  I asked him what he was doing and he said, "Goin' fishin wif Daddy" like, duh woman, what does it look like I'm doing?  

He has been oh so serious about what needs to transpire to celebrate the day he was born.  And you know that has to feel so totally awesome to be able to tell people (with words and all) exactly what you want and how you want things to play out on your big day... and then to actually have it happen?  I mean, can you even imagine?  This may be the start of a super sized power trip for little big man.

Ah well.  You know how I feel about marking important days on our family calendar with a bang.  And to celebrate something as amazing as Kaelster coming into our world?  Oh yeah, we are going to follow his specific instructions and make it happen.  Every last request down to the visit to the cows.  Because baby, do we love us some adorable little men around here and YOU were the start of it all.  And our number one job is to make sure that you grow up knowing that we love, love, love you - "Aw da way" as you like to say.

So, after having three kids for nearly a year... we finally have a three-year-old.  And not just any three-year-old... a three-year-old of the Kaelster variety!  Wouldn't change a thing little dude.  Thanks for planning the bash of the year!  May number three be your best one yet!  :)
