The Connors Crew: Dylan is 3!

Our little, bouncing boy turned 3 years old today! Sometimes it is hard to believe that it has been 3 years already. Dylan has officially left his infant/baby days behind him and is a full-fledged toddler. He has brought such joy into our lives and we love him absolutely. We think he is going to be a great big brother and look forward to the boy he will become.

But for now, we are just trying to cherish this time when he still kisses us goodnight, sings Disney songs at the top of his lungs, takes naps, reads stories with us, let's us cuddle him, if only for a few moments, holds our hands and swings, runs into our arms when we pick him up from school, makes us think we really are super hero parents, and depends on us for everything.

To celebrate the big occasion, we had a special friend birthday party for Dylan on Saturday the 9th. We invited boys from Dylan's class, kids from the neighborhood, and others that Dylan has befriended in his few short years. Naturally, we had a dinosaur themed party with a dinosaur fossil dig in the sandbox, dinosaur stickers for making pictures, dinosaur cookies for decorating, dinosaur tattoos, a dinosaur egg hunt, a great dinosaur cake, dinosaur chicken nuggets for the kids, and dinosaur plates, napkins, and balloons for decoration. It was great. Here are a few picture highlights from the party.
