Birthday Boy

IMG_6576.JPGWow. Three years. 36 Months. 1095 days. All Owen, all the time. We're a little freaked out about all the change that is about to come and how we'll all adapt, but hopefully we've learned enought over the past three years to muddle through.

  1. You can lead a boy to the potty, but you can't make him pee.
  2. Don't touch Owen's haircut.
  3. Not all sticks are created equal.
  4. Watching too much Mary Poppins may induce your child to break into song and dance, as well as panhandle.
  5. Mommy and Daddy are not perfect substitutes, and if they try to be there will be tears.
  6. Never underestimate the value of a good-sized box.
  7. Naptime does not come with a moneyback guarantee.
  8. Farm relatives have the best toys ever.
  9. Always be jumping.
  10. The twos really aren’t so terrible.

Great list. Owen's so aristotelian!
