"Mama! Me big!"

Yesterday was my baby's birthday. For three years, Jeremiah has been a delightful part of my life, and I could never imagine being a mother without him as my son. Even at three, with a stubborn streak that just won't quit, his silly grins and still-so-kissable cheeks completely make up for his ability to outscream anyone!

We're planning a "beach party" for tomorrow evening, since he was sick on his birthday. A neighbor gave us a great Little Tykes boat sandbox, and for 2 months it has been sitting on our deck - without sand. Everyone will be bringing a bag of sand to fill the boat, and then the party will begin!
