Three Year Old Gorilla

Can you believe it? The 'baby' of the family is now three years old; however, he's off the charts for height and weight. He's the size of the average four year old. He's only a few pounds shy of E, who is going on six! His shoe size is an eleven! He's a big guy, but his heart and mind are still very little. Life can be hard...to say the least.
 I should have trimmed his hair before all the pictures.
 He requested a dump truck cake with dirt (a serious passion of his). I try to please.
 Amazingly, he blew out all three candles in his first blow.
 He was very pleased with himself. Hey, we were all impressed and cheered for him.
 He loved his cake and couldn't wait to dig into that dirt.
 He licked his plate clean within a few minutes. This boy can seriously eat. I don't think he chews.
 Whoa...what a bunch of piggies. The cake was a hit.
 Surprising Big O with his gift of a work bench and tools.
He was excited before he even saw it!
 He loves it. All the kids love it. We definitely knew they would!
The next morning, O discovered the cupcakes that I had made along with his cake. He knew he shouldn't, but just as we were saying his name, he devoured the whole thing as quickly as he could.
Little monkey...I mean gorilla.
