I'm 3 Years Old!
Well, my special day finally got here yesterday and I had a chance to celebrate with a few family and friends. My Godmomie Latoya and Godsister Tava came by and we had a good time playing together upstairs while all the "big people" talked and ate pizza downstairs.
Then, it was time to sing the "Happy Birthday" song and cut the cake. When Mommy put my birthday cake on the table, I was really surprised to see Thomas the Tank Engine sitting right on top of it! Mommy lit the candles, Grammy was taking pics, and Pop-Pop set me up in my chair. After I blew out the candles, Grammy gave Thomas a little bath and said that I could play with him when I finished my cake and ice cream.
In these pics, I'm having a bowl of cake and ice cream with my Godmomie Latoya, Tava, and Alex. I really liked my chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream a lot. A little later, I got a great big ol' hug from Tava and I got my camera out so I could take some pics too!
Here are some pics that my Mommy took with me, Tava, and Marsha. My Great Grandmother Pumpkin Pie and Great Uncle Andy came by to see me too. My birthday presents included some books, clothes, money, and a few more add-on pieces for my Thomas & Friends train collection.
I had a really nice birthday and I want to say "Thank You" to everybody who came by to see me and to Godmomie Latoya for sending me some of the pics that she took too. I also want to thank my Mommy for the pizza party that I had at day care on Friday, the day before my birthday. "Mommy, you're the best!"

PRAYER FOR CHILDREN
Lord Jesus, You were never too busy to pay attention to children, for You dearly loved them. We are happy that you love us and that You have time to listen to our prayers and to answer them. We thank You that You have made us Your own. As we get bigger and stronger every day, help us to grow stronger in our faith too. Bless our parents, whom You have given to us, and help us to respect and obey them, to love and treasure them. Forgive us when we disobey them or when we fail to respect them as Your previous gifts to us. Give them the wisdom to train us in the good and right way. Bless our home and every member of our family with a strong faith in You and true love to one another. Teach us to be kind, unselfish, helpful, cheerful, forgiving, and faithful in our duties. Help us to be like You, Lord Jesus, to grow in wisdom and character and in favor with God and all people. Send Your angels to watch over us, to keep us from all harm of body and soul. Bless us, and make us a blessing to our family and friends. Amen.
Thank you for stopping by and come back again!
