Today Cedrik is three. He is an amazing boy. He is very sensitive to people's emotions and when someone is sad (especially Freddie) he wants to make them happy, usually by giving a kiss on the mouth. He loves to kiss and hug his friends and we have to remind him to kiss on the cheek. He has a really great memory and remembers things that we have completely forgotten. He loves to sing and listen to music. He really wants to play the violin/cello/bass and loves to watch videos of people using instruments. He knows the first three articles of faith and he can also sing them (his preferable way of saying them). He likes church and last week consoled Freddie in nursery (with kisses on the mouth). He loves books.
Today for his birthday he wanted to open presents early. So first thing we opened presents, and I made chocolate chip pancakes (his request) and then he helped to make his birthday cake, chocolate. He got a new shirt that he wanted to wear today. He also got some fun matching games and books, a bike, a new Book of Mormon and a new "Sunday movie." He watched his new movie for a little bit while the cake baked and then we went for a drive with Jordan. While we waited for Jordan we got to see a train and it blew its whistle (this was probably the highlight of the whole day). We ate lunch out and had naps.
For dinner he requested beans and rice. I let him get a fancy drink, Izze, and he thought that was amazing. We topped the cake with chocolate mint coconut whipped cream.
Tomorrow we are going for frozen yogurt with Grandpa and Grammy Fox after dinner.
I can't imagine having Cedrik be any more exciting than he is and we are lucky to learn so much from him.
That shirt is amazing.
