Today is a special day celebrating Austin. He turned three today. This birthday has been a lot of fun - the first one he really cares about. Two wasn't such a big deal, but he has been looking forward to turning three for months - literally. And everyone had a birthday before him it seemed, baby, mommy, and daddy. Now, it is his turn.
It seems it has been a Lightening McQueen birthday. Almost everything he got had a Lightening theme. And now, we are sitting watching Cars 2 that just came out yesterday (thanks to Redbox for a cheap fun thing to do).
My dad came down to be with us for this birthday. So this morning, Austin opened presents my grandma has sent and then we took the boys to the park. Dad and I made Austin a Mickey Mouse cake. Honestly, it turned out looking like a scary Halloween bear, but we attempted it. And I convinced Austin it was Mickey :). So glad I didn't try to make a Lightening cake though. Mickey was bad enough LOL.
Daddy came home, and we let Austin open more presents from us and my parents. Then we took Austin to dinner at Fazoli's. His choice - baked spaghetti (he picked the restaurant too). He has played with his toys, eaten his cake and is winding down watching his movie. (He hasn't seen what MaMa and PaPa sent, but he is going to love it!)
He keeps telling us Happy Birthday. And we have to remind him that HE is the birthday boy. He told me he wasn't a birthday boy because he would turn back to two again soon. Two is over, three is here. I am excited for new adventures. He is learning, growing and changing so much.
And there are many more special days to come. I will post more probably Saturday or Sunday. But Austin's Gotcha Day is November 6. That is the day he came home to live forever exactly two years ago.
God has blessed us with an amazingly special little boy. He has been in our home for almost exactly two years. I wish I could say it had been all three years. But what a life-changing, wonderful little person entered our lives two years ago. I just couldn't have asked God for a better fit with our family. Even if your family doesn't grow the way you think it will - it surely does grow in the PERFECT manner, better than what you could have dreamed about!
Austin Elijah Kreitler - You are a precious gift from God. Mommy and Daddy love you beyond measure. We are so thankful that you are our precious son. You have changed our lives completely. We smile more than ever, we tear up at the precious things you do and say, we love harder, hug more, laugh often. And I can't even imagine life without you. May you have many, many more birthdays. And know that Mommy and Daddy are SO blessed to have you as our son. We are so thankful to God for bringing the perfect, special little boy to us at just the right time. Happy Birthday my son. Grow in knowledge of God, may this even be the year you come to know Christ as your personal Savior. You are such a smart little boy already with deep thoughts of God. I am so excited to watch you grow and change and learn this year. I hope that I live up to your expectations for a Mommy knowing that I will fail you at times, but that I want what is absolutely best for you before God. I love you son!
