"Motor-Bicycle" Birthday...3!!!





Cohen turned the terrific 3!!! Happy Birthday, Cohen. Cohen had a great day with his family at home. We had a family party and enjoyed the time together. Cohen was so excited to eat his "motor-bicycle cake." Then of course play with his motor-bicycle that was on top. When I was making the cake, he was very worried that it had fire on it. He didn't want it. Once I topped it, he was OK with it.







Cohen has been a blessing in many ways. We love his compassion for others. He truly is concerned with others. He is still learning how to express that sometimes. It isn't hard to see he is trying. Cohen tries to do his best and do it on his own. His frustrations stir up if he can't. If he makes a mistake, he tries to fix it himself. This normally turns out to be a surprise for mom. Due to his independence, he will try to take care of himself if I don't. I didn't give him the minute he needed to refill his water cup. Instead I gave him thirty minutes to cleaning up the water all over the kitchen floor after he tried to poor his own water from a very full (means HEAVY...especially for my little three year old). He felt very bad and was afraid he would be in trouble. I gave him a hug and apologized for not helping him sooner. I told him he could help me if he wanted to. Hey I didn't help him when he asked...I believe it was fair for him to choose since I chose not to help him. His great love for his sisters makes me smile as it does his sisters as well. I love to watch them support each other. Watch the video and you will see a tender moment at the end.



I love this kid! Happy Birthday, Cohen!
