Life is Beautiful: Kason is 3

Kason turned 3 while me and Ani were in Slovakia so we celebrated his birthday with the family this weekend. He was so excited to have a party for him and a birthday cake. It is a bit sad to see our baby growing up, we are for sure beyond the infant/toddler stage at our house now. Kason is becoming such a fun, loving little boy. He is talking more and more and you can reason with him most of the time (unless it is his birthday and other kids want to play with his new toys). He still loves to be held, Ehren said he wasn't like that much while I was gone but now he is back to wanting to cuddle with me and Ehren. Kason is also very curious about life, wants to know what is going on and wants to know names of everything and he won't stop asking what something is until I tell him. I think that is how he learned the names of all those shapes so quick because he wants to know the names for things. :) One cute thing he does is that when he meets a new person he comes right up and says "I am Kason Martin Hanson and this is my friend so and so." He is definitely the least shy of our kids and is not afraid to come up to anybody. He is just fun to watch especially now that I've been away from him for almost 3 weeks. He and Ani missed each other a lot because they are pretty good playing buddies so it is cute to see them play together again. But really all 3 of them have been having a great time together this weekend, our family is all together again.

I made a monster truck birthday cake for Kason and he was very excited about it but mostly he couldn't wait to blow off his candles. Ehren's parents, great aunt and brother's family came to celebrate the occasion with us and it was great to see them all after a while.
