Three years really flies by. Tyler is becoming less and less "a baby" and more and more a "big kid." He told me now that he's three he can play with knives "big guy ones." I think we have a few more birthdays to go before that. He did pick out his own clothes for his birthday and can dress himself if he's motivated enough to. Hence the double polo shirt.
I decided to try my hand at a little creative cake decorating this year. The cake is just a box cake mix and I bought some colored fondant. Tyler requested a lion cake so I did my best. Using fondant is a little like playing with edible play dough. It turned out better than I thought. For his birthday Tyler got some play swords (better than knives!), some wooden puzzles, puzzles that teach abcs and numbers (I'm trying to push that in any forum), sun glasses, a new movie and a pretend grocery cart with fake food. Andy thought this last gift was a little too feminine but so far its been a hit.

Recent funny Tyler comments:
When I asked him what kind of a birthday cake he wanted:
"A big one, a really big one. (thinks about it for a second). No, I want it to fit in the house."
After leaving my sister-in-laws house I asked Tyler if Bryce was asleep yet in his car seat. "Yeah, but lets let him sleep."
"This day, I'm not going to pick my nose." (An appropriate goal for a 3 year old)
"Bryce needs to go back to the ospibable (hospital)." After questioning Tyler on why Bryce needs to go back and wouldn't he miss having Bryce around etc. "Yeah, he's gonna miss us."
In the car riding to the park on his birthday "I love my birthday."
