It started with the three of us greeting you with balloons while singing "Happy Birthday". Your face lit up and were amazed by the balloons. We gave you some presents and you opened them in the crib right away. You were grinning ear to ear and just so excited.
Pancakes were requested, more presents were opened, and we enjoyed the morning before Daddy had to go to school. You and I had some special play time while Matty was napping and before the steady stream of visitors arrived. Aunt Willa and Bea came to play and enjoy a watermelon cookie together. Then Baca and Grammy brought a few gifts and the three of you played and laughed together. And just as we were about to take a nap, Wujek Pawel arrived to spend the entire afternoon with you. Tyler, you were so happy I thought you were going to burst!
The afternoon was filled with lots of play, throwing your new baseball and learning how to use the new glove, hot dogs (your request), and banana split cupcakes. One of my highlights of the day was when I asked you "Tyler, if there is anything you could do what would you want to do in your third year of life?" You paused to think about it for a moment then looked at Wujek Pawel and me with a smile and said "I want to help people". It was probably one of my proudest moments as your Mommy. So much of your personality was summed up in that one comment and I really do know you are going to live a life of helping people in many different ways. Thank you for being you and becoming the beautiful person you are. Wujek Pawel looked at me with a smile and at that moment he also saw your incredible heart too. After enjoying cupcakes and also celebrating Daddy's last school day, it was time for bed and start your life as a three-year-old!
Happy Birthday Tyler! Thanks for another memory!
