Happy happy birthday to our sweet, handsome Nolan Douglas! I can't believe you are 3 years old. Where in the world did the time go?! You were the first to make me a mom and I will always love you for that. Your dad and I are so proud of you and love watching your personality develop.
Right now you are obsessed with Star Wars and especially Darth Vader. You know he is bad, but choose to focus on the fact that he is "good in number six." You have quite the collection of light sabers and are getting pretty good at your dueling skills. You love collecting PEZ dispensers and are always hoping to get new ones at the grocery store. You are so fun to be around and an overall obedient child. You are an absolute dream child when it comes to bed time - laying down easily and never getting out of your bed once we put you down (bless you). You have the funniest slash most incredibly accurate 'evil' laugh ever and you love to tease and be silly. You don't like to get too messy, which makes things easy for us. Your favorite color is blue, "but a little bit red too," much to your father's dismay. Although you have admitted that you only like red because it's the color of Darth Vader's lightsaber. You are my best helper in the kitchen, but only like making desserts, and you "don't like the oven part." You are very articulate for your age and have started showing interest in reading already - pointing out words in books or on buildings and asking what they say so you can learn them. It annoys you when your dad and I spell words in front of you and always exasperatedly ask, "what are you spelling?!" You get really frustrated when you can't do something right away (a little bit too much like your mom), so we're working on trying again and asking for help if you still can't get it. You love your little brother, but still get upset with how he's always playing with your toys. Pretty much the only time you get in time-out these days is for doing something mean to Branson, but you're getting so much better. And we know it's hard because it's new and you and Branson are both still learning. We love it when you play together though and hope you'll be best friends.
We still haven't attempted potty training, and you've told me you won't be ready until you're "probably 20." Hopefully it won't take that long ☺
We sure love you Nolan Douglas Bailey and can't imagine life without you. We know you were meant to come first in our family and that you will be such an incredible leader and example for your younger siblings to follow.

Oh ya, you've started habitually chewing on your blankets which makes them pretty gross and rips them to shreds. I figure you'll grow out of it and don't get on you too much for it, but it makes your dad crazy haha!
Obsessed with Star Wars macaroni and cheese. I only buy it when it's on sale, but lucky for you I stock up when it is. You put these boxes in this exact order several different times. Funny kid.

You were a lucky boy this year and got to have your cousins in town for your birthday! Aunt Devin and I crammed 5 car seats in their van and took you guys to the dinosaur play area at City Creek. I'm pretty sure you guys could have stayed there forever!
Fun at the Disney store.
Several people gushed over how cute you boys are.
The birthday boy tired out before dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory (your favorite!)
I guess I didn't get any pictures at dinner, but I did get some at the bookstore. You love going to the bookstore after OSF!
Your cousins got you the purple lightsaber you've been wanting!
Your dad and I have been so excited to give you this Millenium Falcon and just as we thought, you love it! Yessss!
Putting together a Star Wars game you got for your birthday
My amazing friends, Sara and Lis brought you and your brother birthday cupcakes (including numbered candles) and gifts! A Star Wars book for you and cute orange triceratops plush for Branson. How sweet are they?!
Happy birthday sweet boy!
