Happy 3rd Birthday Campbell!

It's almost 6:30 in the morning, I have just fed Parker, and I am so excited for Campbell to wake up. Today, my precious, sweet, loving, charming (I'll get to that story in a minute), smart little boy is 3!!! I cannot believe how fast the last three years have flown by. All week, I have been remembering what I was doing 3 years ago. It's amazing that this little human being that was in my belly for 9 months is now a walking, talking, laughing kid.

Yesterday, I asked Campbell what his name is. Here's the conversation...

Mommy: What's your name?
Campbell: Campbell
Mommy: Campbell what?
Campbell: Campbell Spence
Mommy: Campbell what Spence?
Campbell: Campbell gentleman Spence


I kid you not, my child thought his middle name was gentleman. I broke out in hysterical laughter, which made him break out in hysterical laughter. It was a moment that we both needed...just 1 minute of hysterical laughter. I love that Campbell thinks of himself as a gentleman at such a young age. I just hope that he continues to think of himself that way and continues to try to act like one.


Last night, we decided to light the outdoor firepit and eat our dinner outside. Campbell was so excited...not sure if he was more excited to help get the fire going or knowing that we were going to roast marshmallows after dinner. Both equally exciting to an almost 3 year old boy! So, I named it Campbell's birthday eve celebration. I put a frozen pizza in the oven, grabbed some paper plates and of course, the marshmallows. We loved eating fireside. It was a night of pure happiness with our little guy who deserved some much needed attention from Mommy and Daddy.


After C was in bed, I got to work on the cupcakes for his birthday party today and Jason began putting together the train table that my parents gave him. All I know is that I went to bed at 1:00 and Jason came to bed around 3:30. Not only did he put the train table together, but he assembled all of the pieces that go on top. Then he put together a wooden workbench for Campbell. My wonderful husband is such a trooper to do all of that last night, especially after the crazy week he's had at work. I know a little guy who will be so appreciative.



So now we're back to the morning of C's birthday. Parker is hanging out with me in the office while I type this and upload some photos. After I put him back down for a little morning siesta, I am off to make pancakes for Campbell's birthday breakfast.




It's going to be a crazy day with soccer, his best friend's birthday party, and his own party...followed by trick-or-treating. I can't wait to post some fun pictures of the day. In the meantime, be sure to check our picasaweb...lots of new photos. www.picasaweb.google.com/spencefam2
