Ben is 3!!!

Any parent that has made the same mistake we did understand the concept that young children don't understand the words "later", "not now", "next week" and "soon". We told Ben about 3 weeks before his birthday, that his birthday was coming and every day he thought it was his birthday, then we would try to explain using those few words above... but it finally came.
Those that know Ben know all about his ALPHABET obsession so we had a ABC Birthday for him! Starting with his cake, we put "Happy Birthday" letters on and then I let the boys go crazy and cover the rest of the cake with ABC's! He loved it!!!
Then of course his presents we all ABC related or Clothes!

He is such a good smart boy I am glad he got GREAT stuff for his birthday!! Has he played with the letter TV game thing again yet? Does he like it?

that's too funny. I don't think Marilyn really cared it was her birthday, until she was at her party. Your new one is a cutie too. I totally erased your message with your phone number, but we'll all have to get together sometime.
