Guess Who Turned Three?

The cutest, pooky, chooky, chunk of cuteness--- that's who! My sweet little boy is growing up!

Happy Birthday Dennis!
He wasn't able to blow out the candles, but he wasted no time sinking his teeth into his delicious cake! It was just soooo cute!
And who would've ever thought that just five minutes prior he was having a fit because his hot dog wouldn't stay in the bun. Only after I cut it up, was he able to quickly eat it so he could have cake and ice-cream.

Talk about growing up---- Dennis had his first day of pre-school too! He was so excited that he walked in like he owned the place.

Did I mention that Dennis lost his prosthetic eye? Strange thing happened. He went to bed with it in, and woke up with it gone. I tore the bed apart and searched through it and the whole room with a fine tooth comb, but it is gone, gone, gone. So now we are back to using his original one until he has his next surgery. I long got over being sick to my stomach over the whole thing. I had to remind myslelf (with God's help) that it was just an eye-- albeit a very expensive one.

Dennis got a new pair of shoes for his birthday. I bet you can't guess why.

They light up and everything!

Dennis loves to carry around water bottles. He would sleep with one if I let him, that little stinker!

Dennis was so happy to get this new ride on toy. It is so cool.
In fact, it is so cool that he insisted on having it right next to him when he was going potty so that one of his brothers wouldn't sneak a quick ride on it.

Dennis we love you more than you will ever know!
Happy birthday big boy!

I believe Dennis knows how much you love him. Probably doesn't understand it , but feels it.

Beth said...

Happy Birthday Dennis! Looks like you guys had a great time together. Very cute, holding onto it while he was going potty.

Happy Birthday, Dennis!

Soo cool about the pre-school! I guess having all these big brothers and sisters who all go to school helps with that! (I wouldn't say the usual thing that a 3-year-old needs more company than just the nuclear family as your nuclear family is larger than my twins' first pre-school class was!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DENNIS!!!

He looks so wonderful and healthy! What in the world could have happened to his eye??!! Could he have swallowed it? Is it small enough for that? Hopefully, it will turn up eventually, can't imagine it disappearing into thin air, lol. How frustrating, looking so hard for it and not finding it.

I love the pic with him on his "throne", hanging on to his new set of wheels. Where did you get that? I wouldn't mind something like that for Jonathan.

Did you look between the mattress and sheet?? In his diaper??? I absolutely HATE losing things. Are you sure he didn't eat it?? :) Ya never know...

One Crowded House said...

that's what I was thinking... he may have swallowed it... if he seems "backed up" down there- you may have to get him checked out.

He is just darling! I can't believe how much he has changed since you brought him home.

Happy Birthday Dennis!

Happy Birthday Dennis! What a big boy you are!

I have a friend who would like to adopt a girl through an adoption disruption. Her oldest is 6 (two boys 6 and 3), and she would love to adopt a girl. She is not able to adopt internationally at this time due to the expense, but she would love to consider children through an adoption disruption. You can e-mail me at russianfairytale (gmail) to give you her information.

Thanks,

Carey

Wow! Big 3 already! :)
Love the cake picture.
He looks so grown up in his new tennies holding his water bottle.

Happy Birthday Dennis!!

The picture of him standing in the jean shorts just reminds me of Daniel - they are close in age and you can really see how they are losing their "baby" look and becoming little men! (Of course for Mama it's tough to see them grow up so fast!!)

Mindy said...

Happy Birthday Dennis! I was going to ask if maybe he was hungry and chomped down on it too. :) Wonder if it's like chewing on a jawbreaker. lol!

Happy Happy Birthday! Happy Day! Yay!

Happy Birthday Dennis... We lost our son, Jonas's eye once in our swimming pool ( now he takes it out before swimming). After looking for 30 minutes I offered some money to the person who found it... 5 minutes later we had it:) I have done that a few times for things lost that were expensive or special (like a younger ones lovey ( blanket)... we have always been able to find the item with this incentive for some reason.
