Preston Turns 3!

My little Preston turned 3 today.  I can't believe how big he getting and how much he is able to do now.

Fun facts about Preston at age 3:

- his favorite color is green

- he asks for cookies and bubbles at least 3 times a day.

- he can now say about 175 words (big improvement from 6 months ago when he could only say 20).

- his favorite movie is Cars.  He loves all types of cars and trucks and especially motorcycles.  He is always pointing out bikes wherever we go and gets excited when we pass the motorcycle store on the way to the freeway.  It seems like he always has a car in one of his hands and he has the hardest time sharing them with his brother.

- He knows all of the colors and most of his letters. He is aslo pretty good counter.  The other day I told him to count his cars and he said "1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 11."   Then he had the biggest grin on his face.

The first thing Preston said to me today when I got him up in the morning was "mcqueen cake," and I said "yep today is the day we get to make your mcqueen cake."  Pretty much everyday when I get him in the morning he says "daddy work," and I reply "yep daddy is at work."  He is such a daddy's boy.

This is the first time that I have attempted something like this and I really like how it turned out.

Singing happy birthday and blowing out the candle.

Opening presents - Spencer thought everything was for him too.

We surprised him with a bike for his birthday.  The grin on his face when he first saw it was priceless.
