November?!

The last two weeks of October really flew by. Granted, we did spend pretty much an entire week celebrating the awesomeness that is Mak. On October 16, he turned three years old. Three. It still feels strange to say that. "My three year old..." It doesn't quite fit right on my tongue yet.


Mak wanted a Dinosaur Train party. So that means Dinosaur piñatas. They were pretty small, so we got three. :) He was pretty excited! He kept wanting to "break them", like I told him we would. I promised him he could when his party started.


Party day came! It was a lot of fun! We kept it small, only had about five friends of his over, which turned out to be a great number (since four of those five also had little siblings around Ellie's age).




When it came time to break the piñatas, sadly, Mak was too scared! I didn't account for the possibility that he may get attached to them.... oops! Bad mom. =/ Luckily, Mak did have a few friends who were game to try and break it.


And little hands are always down to grab some candy. ;)


We did presents after everyone left, in some peace and quiet - Mak doesn't like too much attention. But I was happy to see him playing nicely with all his friends. Makes a mamí proud.

On his actual birthday, we had a family party. Almost everyone was able to make it, even though it was a Tuesday.

And finally: 



Our three year old. 

I have no words. My love for this little boy that, three years ago, made me a mom. I hope these have been a great three years for him, since I know they have been for us. Brad and I are always saying how we can't imagine a life without him. And it's true. The world really is a better place with you in it, Mak. 

Much love (and a few bittersweet tears),
The Dolfos
