My Little Man is 3

All Doss has been able to talk about lately is how he wanted a black cake for his birthday. Well his black cake started turning into, "No Momma I want a BIG black cake!" I had no idea where to go with the idea of a big black cake? Over the weekend I had bought a cake decorating book for a cupcake decorating class I will be teaching at our home school co-op this semester and there it was.... He completely changed his mind when he seen the "Big Cupcake" cake in this book! He also feel in love with the little green monster cupcakes in there. Much to my surprise he changed his mind about the black cake he had been talking about for over a month and was set on these!

Knowing that the big cupcake would be plenty for the small party he was going to have, I still felt like I needed to make a few monster ones since they had some black in them :)

I have been fretting all week about not throwing a big birthday party for Doss because I have always went all out for both of my kids birthday parties and I didn't want to be unfair or cheat him in anyway :( But I keep remembering back to last years party....)

He was not a happy camper.

My kids are the typical, polar opposites, in many ways. Doss does not enjoy attention in anyway and Skylee would bathe in it!! She is all about a huge blow out party and Doss was the happiest I have ever seen him last night at Ta Mollys with us, his grandparents, Aunt Charity and her Girls. After leaving there, I looked at Brandon and said this was way to easy.... Sky may be in trouble come August!! :) Lol!!! No I will try to do what each of them enjoy the most if at all possible. Even though it is very tempting ;).....

Another big deal we have been having around here started back last June when Sky saved up all of her money and bought her very own iPod Touch. We were fixing to leave for Florida and all of the other kids had DS's so she decided she wanted to spend her money and get something she could play. Well that posed a huge problem with Doss!! He wanted it all of the time and has still wanted it to this day! And at times he got it and for about 3 months it was lost and we gave up because it was no where to be found :( I felt bad because I had made Sky share with him and he was the last one to have it. Then one morning we were getting ready for church and I heard Skylee SCREAM!!! I knew exactly what it was when she screamed... She had found her iPod in the new couch! We never sit in the new living room (partly because we don't want to mess up the new furniture) so we hadn't thought to look there. She was so happy and so were we! So to justify not throwing Doss a Big party, we decided to use the money we would have spent on it and get him his own. He loves it!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Doss Brody! We love you so very much!
