Taggart turns 3!

Today was Taggart's third birthday. It is hard to believe that 3 years ago he was born 6 1/2 weeks early and spent the first 3 1/2 weeks of his life in the NICU hooked up to IVs, monitors, oxygen and everything else. Now you can see that that obviously didn't stop him. He was so happy to turn three! We started the morning off going to McDonalds for breakfast and to play at the 'place' (as Tag calls it.) Grammy and Grampy came with us and I loved playing on the slide. Grampy even took Tag for a ride in a big tractor... he thought he had died and gone to heaven! For lunch we went to Del Taco and ate lunch and played with some friends. I decided for his third birthday that I would let him do exactly what he wanted to do- eat cake, candy, and play hard. Hopefully he didn't contract any disease after today, but we did a serious sanitizing session after each place. For dinner we went to the Pizza Factory with Grammy and then home for cake and presents. Tag was obsessed with his Spiderman cake (Pan cake, is what he called it.) He wasn't happy with a single piece- he wanted to lick the entire cake! He especially loved blowing out the candles, so we did it a couple of times. He got a new dump truck, a wooden train set, some new motorcycles, and lots more. He is sleeping in his bed with half of it tonight. Thanks everyone for the gifts and celebrating this special day with him! Happy Birthday Taggart! We love you!
