Josiah is 3!

Josiah is 3!

We had a fun day full of surprises.  Of course I had every intention of documenting every detail with pictures.  I took some at breakfast and some with dessert.  Yep.  That’s my life.

 

 

 

 

My favorite part of the day though was hearing how excited he was that it was his birthday.  We did have a hard time explaining why everyone wasn’t coming over for his party since it was his birthday.  We sort of solved the problem by telling him that he gets to have two birthdays.  For a few hours he thought it meant he wasn’t really 3 yet.  Once we got past that, he made sure everyone we saw knew it was his birthday…and that they wished him a “Happy Birthday” in case they forgot to do it on their own.  J

 

 

 

 

I’ve seen these questionnaires on Pinterest and have filled out different ones for my pregnancies and when the boys were younger.  This one is fun because they are his answers.  Some of them he talked about just throughout the past couple of days and I wrote down what he said.  Others I asked him directly and recorded his response.  I got the questions from this site: http://www.lansdownelife.com/2012/06/kids-birthday-interview-questionnaire.html.  I copied and pasted so I could change the font and color.  I also reworded some of the questions so they would make more sense for our life.
