The Big Three

Today is Jonathan's birthday!  He is three years old today.  I took this picture of him practicing holding up three fingers.  Of course he says he's five.  Five is easier to say than three and it's easier to hold five fingers up than three fingers.  So this has me wondering, why can't a child turn five before three.  In a couple more years it will be a lot easier to say three. 

I know, I know, I'm a very deep thinker. 

We'll be having cake and ice cream and opening presents when Scott gets home.     I'll be taking more pictures.  So check back soon.  :)
