Happy 28th Mirthday, Rowan!

We had a pretty busy day for Rowan's mirthday. His pal, Ansel, had a birthday party in the morning. He turned 3 years old. Very fun. Then we headed out to my parents' house for the Wilson family reunion and birthday celebration for my Dad. It was a fun-filled day and we were all pretty tired by the time we got back home last night.

Here are some of the clever and funny things that Rowan has been up to for the last month.

He has started making up his own words to familiar songs. He will personalize them to a situation. For example, instead of "Down, down, baby. Elmo does karate" he sings (all on his own) "Down, down, baby, Rowan goes to potty".

He has conversations for his little men. I overheard two of his Lego men having the following conversations:

• "Do you want to go to Target?" "OK." "Ok, get in the buggy." Then he puts the men into his shopping cart.
• One of his Lego men fell off the truck and then on to the floor. He took one of the other men down to the spot where the other man had fallen down and asked "Are you ok? I'll help you. Be careful, man!"

Rowan was talking with my mom about something, I can't remember what. She made a comment about it being really big and he said, "Yeah, it's huge."

Some of Rowan's favorite things right now are construction vehicles and tractors; chicken nuggets with BBQ dip; pretending it's his birthday and that he is 3 years old; and negotiating deals, particularly around bath and bed times.

Much love to our wonderful, funny, sweet, smart boy!
