C H A S E

Chase turned THREE this past Saturday! We're potty training and couldn't leave the house, so we just tried to do all his favorite things at home (puzzles, geo trax, playing outside, making cupcakes, and reading books). The Smith's joined us in the evening for his favorite dinner and chocolate oatmeal cupcakes .

 Chase got to take a treat to pre-school a couple days before his birthday and was so excited to take yellow sugar cookies -- yellow is his favorite color.
 Helping me make the cupcakes--
 Opening presents

 Enjoying an ice cream cone
 Entertaining himself by making faces in Granny's mirror--
 sledding in the back "yard"
Chasey --
*is a naturally happy and joyful soul
*loves puzzles, trains, and books
*Does NOT like to clean up!
*Loves his family and is naturally affectionate
*Will state that he does or doesn't want something and then will instantly change his mind and say "Maybe I do/don't" in the sweetest voice you've ever heard.
* Is completely and perfectly potty trained as long as he's naked from the waist down -- the second he has undies or a pull up on him, forget about it! Suggestions anyone?
* Loves music, has great pitch, loves to sing, and stole the show at his pre-school program last week!
*Seems to be in his own care-free and happy world a lot of the time (I'm working on instilling a sense of responsibility!)
*Calls me "my girl" or "my dear" a lot of the time -- melts my heart!

This boy brings me so much happiness. He delights me and I love to be with him. Happy Birthday, Chase! We love you!

Happy Birthday! It sounds like a nearly perfect little boy!

Happy Birthday Chase! So my nephew was the same way. (He would just go if he had underwear or pull-ups on.) My sister-in law made him go with pants, but no underwear, and it worked! Anyway, you could try that :). Good luck!

Birthdays are so fun when you're a mom :)

I loved reading Cora's 2 month post. She reminds me so much of my Stella both in looks and personality. (But she seriously looks like her!) I'm glad things are going well in your neck of the woods, Bekah! :)
