Happy 3rd Birthday!

(I am posting this a day early because tomorrow is Carsen's day and I won't have time for getting online to post!)

I can't believe that my baby is already three years old! I can't remember my life before he was born, and I can't imagine my life without him in it.

He is a curious and energetic little boy who has taught me more about patience than I ever wanted to know, along with many other things such as....
*tags on your clothing are offensive and MUST be removed before wearing
*toe fuzz is the enemy and must be picked out and examined as soon as it is discovered
*toy phones aren't nearly as cool as the real thing
*little ears are ALWAYS listening, even when you think they aren't
*little mouths are likely to repeat the things the little ears heard at inappropriate times
*public restrooms are much more fun to use than the one at home
*the true use of toilet paper is to be strung from one end of the house to another, or, if the amount is insufficient to complete this task, it should all be stuffed into the toilet at once.
*if in doubt of the safety of an activity, try it out on your little brother first
*you should absolutely under no circumstances sleep all night long, you might miss something interesting

And most of all from Carsen I have learned what it is like to love someone with absolutely all of your heart!
