it's just insane to think that my little man Riley turned 3! how is this even happening! and so quickly!

at age 3:  riley's favourite colour is still purple; if he wants to get your attention, he will either put his face right in front of yours or turn your head towards him; he is actually great at sharing for his age EXCEPT for droewors (he DOESN'T share that with anyone); loves his 'fwiends' especially girl friends; his favourite book is: "the three little piggies" which he has memorised.  singing (mainly making up his own songs), diggers, oupa's car, trains, making a mess and anything with water.  he'll come up and hug and kiss me and his dad spontaneously throughout the day, i am not complaining about this one.  i love listening to you talk, especially when you are telling stories.  he call his dad: "MY dad" where i am just "mamma".  he is just the best.

a few photos from his big day ...

we had cake for breakfast, your birthday is only once a year! he loved blowing out the candles and got a bit shy when we sang him the birthday song.

every year i make him a little crown for his birthday.  (see photos on the bottom for 1 and 2).

after opening up all his presents we decided to go for a little walk and boat trip to kingston.  we decided to have a relaxing day since he had a little 'party' with friends at Peppa Pig's World the sunday before his birthday (photo's will follow).

here is a few photos of the walk & boat trip...


he was so tired afterwards that his daddy had to carry him around, isn't it the cutest ....
