Dear Pooh Bear,
You've had many nicknames during your short life Milesie, Milesiepooh, poohsie woosie, poohsie and now Pooh Bear. You entered our hearts during President's Day weekend in 2006 when the pregnancy test came back positive. My parents joked each time we moved, we got pregnant (and this was certainly the case as we'd just moved to Plano). We had Karson who was three, Isaac who was barely one and you on the way--our family was growing quicker than we had imagined. I've been fortunate enough to be around many children (especially over the last 6 years at EEP), and you are one of the most mild-mannered, easy going kids I've ever seen. You take life as it comes. You love being entertained but can entertain yourself. You love attention but take a back seat most of the time for others. You know how to be patient, take turns and share. You admire your brother Isaac more than anyone. You love being in your underwear all the time. When you want clothes on, it's usually a Buzz Lightyear costume. You've watched the movies "Tide and Seek" and "Monster Blood" so many times, you have the episodes memorized. You potty trained yourself this year. You love sleeping in a bunk bed. You love calling Pops on the phone. You learned how to drive the Powerwheels Jeep by yourself. You could play with Power Rangers, the Hulk, & super heroes all day long. You HATE getting your hair washed and usually ask multiple times throughout the day "do we have to wash hair tonight?". I can hardly believe that I will be registering you for preshool next spring. It doesn't feel like you should already be three. You're such a special boy. I love hearing your little footsteps in the morning run down the hall as you climb into bed with me. We love you so, so much. Happy 3rd Pooh Bear!!!

We celebrated Miles's 3rd birthday with family at McDonald's this afternoon.
I've never seen McDonald's busier on a Saturday. I thought 2:00 p.m. would be a good time, and we'd avoid the lunch crowd. Apparently, the lunch crowd comes in at 2 =). It was WILD, LOUD, and super fun!!! Miles wasn't in a good or bad mood, just kind of indifferent. I'm not sure if he understood what was going on, but he did blow out each of his candles individually.
I decided to start piggy backing birthdays in October. Since Karson started school, we decided to limit the huge birthday parties. Since the boys are still young and parties are still somewhat manageable, it works out great to celebrate Karson's when we celebrate Miles's. Hers falls on the 22nd.
My talented friend Larie made her this EXTRA special Powerpuff Girls birthday cake. I think it's the coolest cake ever. I found it online and Larie replicated it perfectly. She's the best!!!
Karson and her favorite pal Tucker.
This was a busy Saturday for Karson. (WARNING: bragging mother here): She started taking Super Saturday classes at Western for the Gifted Studies program. Her class is called Molding Monster Magic. It's based on the book "Where the Wild Things Are" and they are learning theater, acting techniques and all sorts of neat things. She loved it (thankfully--it's pricey for a 4-week session).
My old stomping ground Gordon Wilson Hall. I climbed three flights of stairs daily in this building, worked late nights on projects, took killer exams, and made some wonderful memories in this building. Climbing those stairs brought back a flood of memories. How ironic that my daughter is making memories of her own at GWH.
Looked like a very fun and busy day! Happy Birthday Miles and Karson!
