Koen's 3rd Birthday is Coming Up and His Major Obsession With Trains!

I can't believe how big my little baby is getting! He can use the toilet, feed himself, undress himself, talk back, remember lines from movies (the ones he watches over and over) and act them out, run away from me in the grocery store, sit in a booster seat in the car with just a seat belt, and many more things. He is going to be 3 in a couple of weeks and that seems so weird! Where did all the time go? Today I took him to the grocery store to get a few things and one of them was some cake mix for his train cake. I let him pick it out and of course he picked funfetti cake mix. Ever since then he has been asking me for his birthday and while he was supposed to be sleeping at nap time I could hear him singing loud and clear in his room "happy birthday to you! happy birthday to you!" It is so funny what he picks up on and he definitely knows what a birthday is and that you get to eat cake and that there is presents. He is having a train cake this year because he is obsessed with trains! I can't get it out of his head. It all started when I was having some really bad morning sickness over the summer for a couple weeks and my mom took him for a few days and bought him a train. Ever since he has been stuck on them. Train everything! He watched Polar Express so much that he quotes it. He also tells us there are tracks in the bathtub with him and often takes his Thomas the train into the bath with him. He also uses whatever he can find to make tracks and if he finds any piece of paper it is a ticket to get on the train. You don't take his ticket! Anyway so I couldn't think of anything better than a trian cake and then I found one of those cakes that is like cupcakes and you line them up to make the cake and it is a train so he will have a train with a bunch of train cars trailing behind it. I will post pictures when it's his birthday, don't worry. Oh and just wait until you see what he is getting for Christmas, we are pretty sure he isn't going to want anything else when he sees it!
