My little Charlie turned 3 today.  He wanted to go bowling and have a football party so that's what we did.

Some things about Charlie:

• Favorite foods are hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, and go-gurts.
• Loves to play basketball, soccer, bowling, and play games on the computer.
• Can be overly dramatic/emotional at times.  For example, he cried for 15 minutes the other day when Mark parked the wrong direction at the store.
• Has the cutest buck-tooth smile.
• Is most complimented on his eyes.  They really are amazing.
• Loves to sing primary songs before bed.
• Nicknames are Char, Char Char, and Chuckles.
• Thinks he is pretty cool and puffs up his cheeks when he talks like he is really important.
• Loves to play with Jackson and still idealizes his big brother.
• Also, knows how to pester Jackson like only a little brother can.
• Is shy around groups and new people. 
• Loves his dad and always chooses him to help him.
• Wants to do everything for himself, and if fiercely independent.
• Is never in a hurry and is often in his own world especially when I am trying to get him out the door.

Love this little boy and can't believe how grown up he is getting.  Happy Birthday Charlie.
