Allred Fam: July 2007

Yo Ho Yo Ho a 3-Year-Olds Life For Me!

Well ladies and gentelmen...we have officially crossed over the threshhold and entered into "Toddlerville". Thatcher turned Three yesterday in style. We threw him a huge pirate party and all of the family was there to celebrate it with him. He is such a good boy and we had the best time with him all day long. He woke up with a smile, and had it until he fell asleep in his new Spiderman jammies at 10:30pm.

There is no greater joy in life to have a son that you love, and who you know loves you! I am lucky to have two! I was told "Daddy, I love you!" about 20 times yesterday, and I know April was told the same (with "mommy" substituted where applicable) all day long. How cool is that! We are blessed.

Check out the pictures! We had a good time. April and I made a Treasure Chest cake for the party, and we order pizza. Pretty low-key for everyone involved (except for me).

Thank you to all involved who made Thatcher have the best birthday.

Thatcher Quotes

Thatcher was going to Lagoon with my dad and some of his aunts and as they were pulling into the parking lot he looked at all of them and said, "yeah...I'm gonna need some cash".

So yesterday morning I was wearing my glasses before I put my contacts in and Thatch came in and asked me if I was wearing Daddy's glasses. I said no, these are mine. Then he said, "Are you sure? Because you look like a man in those glasses."

Thatcher was singing to himself in his room and I heard him from down the hall in my room and yelled to him, "Why are you so cute?" He yelled back, "Because you treated me like I was cute!"

I put on a hat to go to the park yesterday and when I went in to get Thatcher he said, "nice hat mom, I never knew you could look so cool".

I went to put his seatbelt on him in the car, and he said he could do it himself. I said, are you sure Thatch? You know how to do that? He said, " watch and learn mom.... watch and learn".

Mat was driving and he asked Thatch how he was doing in the backseat. Thatch replied, "just chillin". Mat said, Chillin like a villain? Thatch says, " That doesn't make sense, villains are bad... they don't just chill!"

Last night while my parents were watching Thatcher, he had to go poop and when he was done he called my brother in to wipe his bum. My brother said, Thatcher I don't know how to wipe bums very well. Thatcher replied " You wipe your own bum don't you?"

At dinner while eating pork chops, he took a bite and said, "Mom what is with the chicken?"

I put a tire back on his toy car for him and after I was done he said "wow mom, that's pretty impressive!"

We were in the Target parking lot and he saw a paper cup in one of the parking stalls. He pointed it out to me and I said, that's not very nice is it? referring to littering, and he looked back at the cup and said sadly, "yeah, poor little cup".
