Turning three has meant some big changes and new adventures for Ford (and us). Ford had his first visit to the dentist. Let me just tell you how incredibly proud I am of my son. He went into the dentist office and got into the chair just like he'd done it a million times. He did so well that the sweet dental hygenist said she wished all of her little patients did as well as Ford. He was such a champ!
The hygenist gave Ford a little starfish that had teeth, so Ford got to brush his teeth:
OK, you should really click on this picture and make it bigger so you can see the starfishes teeth. They are hilarious:
On Saturday, we made an impromptu trip to Sam's to get Ford a big boy bed. I'm probably going to get my old twin bed to use at some point, but for now, we just have a mattress and boxsprings. I was a little bit worried about Ford staying in his bed, but he's been perfect! This is his third night to sleep in his bed and he doesn't get out until morning. Again, I'm so proud of my little boy! There aren't many, if any, milestones that have made me sad since Ford has been born. But, I'm a little bittersweet about Ford's big boy bed. He won't ever sleep in his crib again and that makes me tear up a little just thinking about it. He's getting so big.
Scott reading bedtime stories to Ford: 
Look how little bitty he looks in the great big bed:
I'm posting the following picture just because I think it's cute. I bought a large pack of juice boxes and there were three different flavors. They were sitting on Ford's little table and he put each car on the juice boxes and said, "look, they match." I was impressed!
That's all for now. I think now that the holidays and Ford's birthday are over, I'll be able to keep up with my posts!

We Gon Party Like it's yo Birthday
On January 17th, we had a birthday party for Ford. I've yet to plan a kid birthday party for Ford. So, we just had family and a few close friends attend.
Ford is all about Thomas the Tank Engine:

You Say it's Your Birthday
Ford turned three years old on January 15th. Every year, we try and make Ford feel special on his actual birthday. So, we decorated the kitchen with some balloons and a banner and wrapped up a some of his presents.
Here is Ford with his balloons and presents:
Ford decided to line up his old cars and new cars (from the Cars movie, his favorite):
For lunch, Scott met us at Chick-fil-a where we ate lunch and Ford got to play in the play area:
For dinner that night, Scott had the great idea of taking Ford to a Japanese steak house. We went to Goten and we had a wonderful dinner and the service was excellent.
Ford LOVED watching the chef, especially when he made fire!
I thought I would post this picture because my child actually eats salad.
After we ate, the nice server brought Ford a chocolate sundae for dessert and we sang "Happy Birthday."
The family picture from Ford's birthday. We didn't realize he had chocolate ALL OVER his mouth.
I think Ford enjoyed his birthday. Scott and I certainly enjoyed celebrating the day our son was born!
