Here comes trouble.

Can you believe it?  He is three.  Happy Birthday to my best-est little buddy!   
Peter these days:
*fun loving
*sooo sweet to his little sister.  He gives her hugs and kisses at random.
*Still a big chicken.  He refuses to go on the swings at the park.
*Still LOVES Thomas and trains, in addtion to anything else on wheels.
*Knows all the sounds that the alphabet makesand can even sound out simple words.
*He LOVES reading and wants me to find him "good words to read" every day.
*Is 100% potty trained (since February)
*Still a frikin punk at the dinner table, though his array of acceptable foods is slowly growing. (at a snail's pace)
*Weighed in at 33lbs at his 3 year check and 37 inches tall. (39% for height and 56% for weight)
  I love this kid! For his birthday he wanted a fire truck cake.  (He was adamant about this.  I had other ideas for his cake, but he ONLY wanted the fire truck cake.) So he got "Red", the engine from the Disney movie "Cars".  I am happy to say that he loved it and it made all the time I put into it worth it.  When he saw it his face just lit up and he couldn't stop talking about his cake. 

 During the morning went to the fire station down the street from us and he got the grand tour with a couple of his buddies.








 Then we had a little party with his friends.  (It was supposed to be at the park, but it got rained out so he settled for bowling and pizza.)








 And of course, Peter's birthday wouldn't be complete without an ice cream outing with Daddy!
