After 28 YEARS, I've come to Realize...

Today I am 28 years old...this has been a hard one to swallow, not entirely sure why, but it has. Hubby was awesome and came home and baked a yummy cake with our 3 year old, for all of us to share. We spent the weekend celebrating my birthday with my family. Making it a great weekend and birthday. So with that, here are some things I have come to realize over time.

When eating cake you are one of three things:

ALL about the frosting

All about the CAKE

or Mmmm, that's good, ALL about MORE!!!

In this house there is a collection of All of the above.

When opening presents:

It is polite to open the card and READ the entire thing before proceeding with the opening of your gift!

However, to a 3 year old this is "time well wasted" and when you can't read, what's the use of a card?

Aside from birthdays, I have come to realize quite a few other helpful tidbits of information {with the help of my offspring that is}:

-N-:

"I wanted to see if Pooh fell out of the tree, so I tried to call him, but he doesn't have a phone (giggles), and he needs some pants!"

"I am going to bed Mom, but when I wake up I am going to snuggle you and then we can get married." {Me: Oh...but Mommy is married to Dad} "Then who will I marry Mom?" {Me: Don't worry you will find a nice girl to marry...} "Oh, then I think I would like to marry Miss -H-" {-B-: I think you'll have to talk to her Dad about that}

Since this conversation about two weeks ago there are some things I have learned, according to -N-...

Before -N- can get married:

"I need some whiskers on my face."
"I need to do lots and lots of homework."
"I need to go to work."
"I need to be bigger and bigger and stronger and stronger, like Dad."
"I need to find a girl."
Lastly...
"I need to put on my married clothes, and -H- needs to put on her married clothes."

As for the tidbits I have learned from -A-, though the little one has a limited vocabulary he makes quite the impact...

I love to hear the laughter that fills this house when my boys play with one another. To watch them belly laugh at one another as they make silly faces and such. {It warms my heart and makes me smile}

I love to see the pride in our little one's face as he discovers a new ability. learning to crawl, learning to clap and most recently learning to walk and taking his first steps.

Food is no match for a hungry baby {boy}.

Most importantly, even if your vocabulary is limited to a mere 15 words, cake most definitely should be one of them!
