Eldon Turns 3

Eldon Theodore Hughes turned three years old on September 19^th.  I felt so sad that his birthday was the day before we loaded the truck for the move to Utah.  Birthdays usually are filled with whatever food you want, birthday fun, and a cake of your choice.  Well he did get the food he wanted, but the cake sadly didn’t get made this year.  He wanted a pirate ship.  He had to settle for a birthday ice cream cone.  But Eldon being the awesome kid he is didn’t mind.  He got pirate cupcakes on Sep. 30^th when we did the three person party.  This was more than okay with him.

This little man is so unique.  He loves to be held.  He loves to dance.  He loves pirates and dinosaurs.  He loves to sing.  I think it is so cute to hear him sing along to all the familiar songs in the car.  He loves to read.  He is so polite and remembers to tell me thank you before the other boys.  He has just recently started saying his prayers and has offered up a few of his very own.

Just and few really unique things about Eldon, he sucks his lower lip ALL THE TIME.  He also touches his eye ball a lot with the corner of his blanket.

He is taller than both Jaron and Bryson were at age three.  He is 3’4.5”, Bryson was 3’3.5”, and Jaron was 3’2.5”.  I am not sure how much he weighs, but it is A LOT.  He is a solid rock.  Eldon has started talking a lot more and having preferences of his own just recently.  I see him developing into his own little man.  We love all our boys and love watching them change and grow.
