Sunny

This amazing little boy turns three on Monday and tomorrow is his big birthday party. This boy has brought me so much joy, so many smiles and yes, taught me so much patience. Most of you know, I call him Sunshine (or Sunny for short) ~ he got his nickname when he was a baby because he was such an easy baby and just smiled all the time. I would go to get him out of his crib and he would just be standing there smiling from ear to ear...THAT was sunshine in this momma's world. So you can imagine I want to give him a perfect 3rd birthday. His list is not long...just, odd. He wants a yellow baseball cake with strawberries on top - but NOT vanilla and NOT chocolate, on this he is very specific. When I ask him what kind of cake, he just keeps saying "yellow" (well, "lello"). Hhhmmm...okay? Then when asked what he wanted for a present, he simply said, "two Ned's and two purple bat's". The Ned's were not so hard ~ Ned is a character from Thomas the Train. The purple bats on the other hand have been rather difficult. He keeps saying he wants a purple bat like the Red Sox's one at Cooper's field?? Huu? He tries and tries to explain what he is talking about, we have brought Cooper in to translate, but still we have no clue what he is talking about. I have now purchased three bats, hoping that maybe just maybe I will come close to whatever this amazing 3 year old dreams of getting on his big day... Wish me luck.

well, maybe I'm stating the obvious, but do you think he saw a purple bat at Cooper's birthday party (Cooper's Field)? The trick is to find out whose it was. I'll ask Sam if he remembers. And the lello cake: is it lemon? banana? or just yellow as opposed to white? :-)
