to the boy who has evacuated two public pools in the past month with his bowel movements, happy birthday!
our sweet little tad turned 3 this past week, and we were all so excited to celebrate with him. i think we did a really great job of making tad feel special on his big day. we may have actually done too good of a job, because his day was jam packed! but it was just so fun to fuss over him!
tad's birthday schedule:
cinnamon buns with candles for breakfast.
drop the boys at school.
play at the park.
go see puppies at the pet store.
pick up his birthday balloons.
swim lessons.
a trip to the zoo, where he fed a giraffe!
a siesta in the car/stroller while we picked up the big boys from school.
open presents.
soccer practice.
a small party with a couple neighbors in our backyard. we did cake and swimming.
what a lucky boy!
tad is so stinkin' handsome. it kills me!
his smile is to die for.
i love his shaggy blonde hair, tan skin and freckly nose that summer has given him.
he has the most kissable cheeks.
he gives the tightest hugs.
he loves hanging with his big brothers.
when we are at home, he talks non stop.
the past month he has been stuttering a lot. i brought it up with his pediatrician and she said he will probably out grow it, but it still worry a bit.
when we were at the doctor, they measured him and he hasn't put on any weight in the past 6 months. which, i think, means he starting to shift from a squishy toddler body to a little boy body.
we haven't potty trained him yet. mostly because of me, and life..

tad has a darling imagination when he is playing independently.
he loves to play with cars, lego, playdoh, and all of our kitchen utensils.
in true leavitt fashion, he is ah-mazing on his balance bike.
he is the most skilled 3 year old swimmer of all our boys.
he is independent. almost too independent!
you wouldn't believe how many people asked me if he was starting kindergarten this year when we took the older boys back to school. and i was like 'uuuuh nope'. i think he often gets mistaken for being older then he is because he is so good at keeping up with the bigger kids.
according to growth charts, tad is average height and weight for his age.

tad loooves to be outside.
he still naps most days, and is a great sleeper.
some of his favorite foods include: watermelon, strawberries, cucumbers, pickles, corn, caesar salad, chocolate milk, fruit snacks, lucky charms, pasta, grilled meat (so manly), and any kind of candy.
he drives us all bonkers at times, but he is such a sweet little boy.
tad and i have 2 more years of 'us' time before i have to ship him off to dang school, and i am trying to cherish it all.
love you, tad!
