Happy 3rd Birthday, Daniel Kai!

On May 12th, five days after welcoming his new sister to the world, Daniel turned three! It's such a cliche but it's hard to believe that three years have already gone by. When Daniel came to the hospital to meet Kendall for the first time, both Brian and I were shocked by how big he suddenly seemed to us. Although it can be challenging raising such a stubborn, strong-willed little boy, his huge personality is so fun to watch develop. We can still always count on Daniel for hugs, kisses and snuggles. Daniel loves to have fun, make people laugh, be read to, ride his trike, play with sand and/or water and loves cars and trains. He loves eating waffles and eating fruit. His favorite shows are "Sid the Science Kid" and "Curious George". He likes sleepovers at Grandma and Grandpa's house and making fresh-squeezed orange juice with them. He continues to struggle with his speech but we are so proud of the improvements he has made and new words he has tried since starting pre-school. He loves to wear sunglasses and won't leave the house without them if it is sunny. So far, he is an awesome big brother! Happy 3rd Birthday, we love you, Bug!
