Blessing #3 turns 4... tomorrow

Well, today is the last day of Blessing #3's three-year-old-dom... the little guy has his birthday tomorrow. We celebrated it over the weekend since we figured doing it then would be easier. He had a lot of fun! Though he had a rocket ship cake last year, he requested the same this year. He's really into Buzz Lightning, so there's the picture of Buzz on the cake, too. (I'm telling you that it's Buzz because otherwise I don't think you'd be able to figure it out!) He was so excited about the "Buzz rocket ship up to the moon" cake... personally, I think my little alien down in the corner is pretty cute! His three favorite "people" right now are the space rangers who fly in rocket ships (i.e. Buzz Lightyear), Superman (and all other muscley, manly heroes), and Thomas (including, of course, all his railway friends).

There's no better fitting way to celebrate the end of Age 3 than to have a little discussion about poop and the disposal of toilet paper. The following conversation took place just minutes ago.

B#3: Mom, I went poops. But it's okay; I already wiped.

MM: Good job, big boy! But let me check to see what a super big-boy job you did before you pull up your pants!

B#3: All right... but I already wiped.

MM: If you already wiped, why isn't there any toilet paper in the potty?

B#3: Because after I wiped, I looked at it and said "ewww!" and threw it in the trashcan.

Ewww...
Lucky me. I got to dig it out.
