Danny's 3rd Birthday

I can't believe my baby is 3. He is so big anyway that it is hard to think of him as a baby, but now he is also leaving his baby ways behind and becoming more like a little kid. I am sad to see that part go but I am also thrilled to see him blossoming into a little person. We took him to ride Thomas on Sunday and he didn't know where we were going. We were at the railroad crossing to get into the Railway Museum when the RR crossing bars came down and Thomas came chugging down the tracks. Danny started shaking with excitement. He couldn't believe he was seeing Thomas in real life. He asked if we could ride Thomas. Of course!!! He was so excited the whole time. The Illinois Railway Museum is pretty cool even without Thomas. They have over 2 1/2 miles of old trains. Danny wanted to climb on and touch every one. He was so thrilled when we actually rode Thomas, he had a look of sheer bliss on his face. We had a small dinner and cake at our house last night for his birthday. I made a Train cake with tracks and everything. Danny was so excited. All day long he asked "Can we eat cake?" and he was thrilled when the time finally came.
