10-4 Engine 9 Aaron Judd turned 3

Fireman Sam is a topic Aaron talks about a lot.  Since mid summer he has been asking, requesting and begging for a "Fireman Sam" costume.  I made the mistake of looking some up on the internet one day and he became determined that he needed one.  I kept saying maybe for your birthday but for a few weeks every day he would ask me if his Fireman Sam costume was in a the mail.

It was a rough wait but he finally made it to his birthday!!  As requested a Firetruck cake was created.

We took it up to Sunday dinner and there he opened the long awaited Fireman Sam costume.  It was a huge hit.  All the cousins collectively took the gadgets and came up with a rescue mission after dinner.   It was very cute!!

The longer Aaron's in my family the more obvious it seems that he is the glue that holds us all together.  He's mister happy go lucky rarely is bothered by anyone or anything and brings so much joy to our lives.  He's the first to jump for joy whenever Bart and I come home from work and reminds us to give hugs before we leave.  Just this morning the girls were running out the door to catch the bus and Aaron runs to them saying "Wait I give you a love."    He also has a very sensitive spot.  About the only time he is in "trouble" is when his sticky little fingers just can't resist touching "off limit" things.  He often hears the words "AARON DON'T TOUCH" and often he will burst into tears and say "Mama don't scream at me"  It breaks my heart every time he says that to me.   My mom often makes fun of me babying my little boy but I can't help it there is a special place in a mother's heart for her boys.   Oh how we loved our Aaron Judd!!
