Kai Turns 3

I'm still having a tough time believing this little man is three years old. He's becoming such his own person, it continues to amaze me. He has an opinion on everything and is turning out to be quite the comedian. He'll do just about anything to get a laugh out of you. Noah is usually his captive audience when he puts on his 'shows.' The maturity level from 2 and half to 3 is pretty astonishing. He's always been rather independent but now he's downright adamant about doing just about everything himself. He's also very quick to point out when one of us is not abiding by the same rules that are asked of him. The other day we were walking and he was talking to Mickey (Mouse) on his cellphone and I told him we had to be careful since we were about to cross the street and he turned very seriously to me and said "Mama if you want to talk to me when I'm on the phone you have to say excuse me" and then he rolled his eyes and continued on with his conversation. 
This was our answer for what to do when your daddy has to fly out on a business trip on your birthday. We stayed at an airport hotel and spent the day at the pool. I have to say it was a lot of fun and although it was just a mediocre travel hotel to a three year old the whole thing was "awesome."
Looks like I have another water baby on my hands.
I have to laugh at this one in particular since it's such a challenge to get this one down for a nap during the day yet he slept in the water for almost an hour.
Back at the apartment for an extra round of birthday celebrations.
He doesn't have to try to hard to get a laugh out of us.
The pint sized trouble maker.
He only looks sweet and innocent.
My three year old!
