Sweet Potato Boy

Happy Birthday, little man! I can’t believe you’re three already!

He’s pictured here playing with some of his new toys. But my favorite gift that was given to the Potato today?

We went out to dinner at a local kid-friendly restaurant. On the way out, the hostess offered both of the kids a balloon for the road. We were walking home, me with the Potato on my shoulders (giving him, as he would say, “a piggybank”) when a tree caught his balloon and ripped it out of his hand. Bye balloon.

Before he even had time to cry, his big sister offered him hers. Then I was the one who was nearly crying.
