Happy Birthday Coleman!

I can't believe Coleman is three years old. This morning I showed him pictures of the day he was born. He liked that. We had such a wonderful day! Coleman could hardly wait for his friends to arrive. When they did, all the boys played and played. Then we had cake and ice cream, opened presents, and went to the fire station. The firemen gave us a fire safety talk and then showed us where they eat and sleep while on duty at the fire station. This was all fine, but then they opened the door to where the fire trucks were. Oh yeah, that's what the kids wanted to see! Each one got to sit in the driver's seat of the fire truck. How exciting! Here are some pictures from the party.

Now that he's three, I told Coleman that there are no diapers for 3 year olds. He was pretty upset about that this morning, so he walked around half naked for awhile. Then he decided he wanted a monster truck sticker for going potty. He could only get this if he put on a pull-up, so he did. He has been making several trips to the potty during the day, even #2 once! Grandma sent a whole bag of M&Ms for this accomplishment. Thanks Grandma!
