3 Years? Really???

Has it really been 3 years since I gave birth to an 8 and 1/2 lb little boy?

When older people used to say, enjoy your youth while you can, time goes fast as you get older, I used to laugh and think, nah, not for me. Boy was I wrong. It amazes me how fast time goes. Seems only yesterday that I had Benjamin and now I have Levi who turns 3 today.

Levi has spent the last year and half or so sleeping in the same bed as his brother. He used to get up several times throughout the night and once we said he could sleep with his brother he was excited. He started sleeping through the night without a problem. So we left them like that, until yesterday. The past month or two have showed us that it was time to put Levi in his own bed, so we finally took some time to go get him his own mattress and box springs. We already had his bed frame. Yesterday his mattress set came in. We had spent the morning re-arranging their furniture to accommodate two beds and set everything up and then we went to pick up the set.

We spent a very long 15-30 minutes last night walking him back upstairs but he finally stayed in bed. Of course I did have to tell him if he didn't stay his bed, he wouldn't be getting any more birthday presents in the morning. That did seem to work, though.

He's only gotten one of his presents so far, a Diego "watch". It's not really a watch but he likes it so that's all that matters. He'll get the rest of his gifts when daddy comes home from work later today.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Levi
