Today, we celebrate my Wesley. He is 3 years old! My husband commented that it should mean he wakes up today completely potty trained. Apparently, that’s not the case. :/ Despite our potty training issues with this one, we are over the moon in love with him still! Every day he amazes me with how much he knows and how curious he is about the world and the people around him. As is tradition, here is a list of Wesley’s 3 year old top 10 favorite things in the world: 1. Cookies2. Doughnuts3. Hot dogs4. Popsicles (noticing a pattern here??)5. Eggs, in any way, shape, or form6. Spicy things. Like medium and hot salsa. Not even joking.7. Trains, or as he affectionately refers to them, “chugga chuggas”8. Riding bikes9. Smashing bugs. Sometimes with his bare feet.10. Silas and Elliott. “Because they are my best friends, Mommy.” 🙂He will for sure be the one putting all the gray hairs on my head, but he makes me laugh every. single. day. It’s starting to look like he’s going to be a real foodie, can you tell? I’m SUPER excited over that! So of course in honor of my hilarious kid, I give you: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Stuffed Cupcakes. Like really, there’s a ball of cookie dough in the middle of the cupcake. And it’s topped with brown sugar frosting. Just go make these now. 🙂 I’m so excited for my little guy and I can’t wait to see what amazing things he grows up to do in this world! Ok… well, maybe I can wait. Happy Birthday, Wesley bear!!
