If you give a boy a birthday, he is going to want a party to go with it.

If you give him a party, he will tell you he wants it to be about trucks. He tells you he wants to invite all of his friends over.

Seeing his friends will remind him that he wants to have a truck game, where they run into different road hazards, like rain storms, people crossing the street, and trucks dumping candy.

Once they eat the candy, it will remind them that they are hungry for cake.

Once they see and eat the truck cake Mom made, it will remind them that there is a big truck parked outside for them to climb in and honk the horn.

Honking the horn will remind him of truck presents in the backyard. They all run into the backyard to open gifts. One of the gifts is a toy gun, which the boy immediately starts shooting. Shooting the bad guys and monsters remind the kids of running and getting wet by the sprinklers. He begs Mom to get out the slip and slide.

Dad gets it out and they scream, splash, and run. Mommy calls them back for a picture. Taking the picture reminds the boy of his birthday. And once he remembers his birthday, he wants a party to go with it.

Happy 3rd birthday to our little Ryan. It was a fun one. You make every day exciting, and we love you!
