Dans POV

Just 2 years ago we had adopted Dil, our little miracle who brings a smile to both our faces. We love Dil with all our heart and we can't believe today is his 3rd birthday.

We had planned it at Legoland here in England seeing Dil loved not only the hobbit and lord of the rings collection but the star wars, city, creator and dc comics collections were his favorite. We found out he loved lego's a lot when we bought him duplo collection from lego. We had pretty much bought him so many lego's that our 3 bedroom 1200 square ft apartment looked like a lego museum. We knew he was going to want more and we were defiantly going to buy it for him. What was more odd was that once he started liking lego's so did we and we actually bough ourselves the Architecture collection, marvel, technic, and also some of the same ones as Dil also. Lego's weren't only for fun but helped us become closer and bond more. If you went inside our house you would see enough lego sets to make you think it was either a lego museum or a store.

(authors note: I'm a huge lego fan that I have tons of lego buildings, cars, boats, and other things that i can't imagine my childhood without lego's. I remember going to Legoland California as a child 2-4 times a year until I was 12)

We had planned to stay there for day and stay at a hotel and travel back home the next day. We woke up at 7 and left around 8. We started from London and the drive there was 48-50 minutes. When we got to Legoland Windsor immediately Dil eyes look like they were ready to pop out of his head. From beholdment and excitement that we were here at a Lego based theme park. It was one of those rare fully sunny days here in England and yet it was cold seeing it was in the winter. We all wore jackets with flannels underneath and jeans with converse. Not matching of course out of embarrassment reasons. We parked our car and went to go get some breakfast outside the park. We wet to this cafe and all had pancakes, french toast and some other sweet delicacies.

"These are the best pancakes ever papa and dad" said Dil

"I'm glad you like them Dil" said Phil

(authors note: I won't being including a lot of meaty dishes seeing I am a vegan and I feel a story can still be a story without meat and other animal product dishes)

Once we were done we got back to the park we went on the first ride we saw which happened to be Dragons apprentice. Dil loved it But he wanted to also ride the Dragon which we allowed him to. The is fast rollercoaster but still friendly for children and toddlers. Once done with those ride we went to the gift shop and bought the picture of us riding the dragon. Dil got a few knight lego sets. Small ones thankfully and we just continued to the next area in the park. This was Pirate shores and we went on the water ride which happened to be opened today. We went on had got really wet especially Phil. He was so went that he had to go to the gift shop and buy some dry clothes. While Dil and I just laughed at how wet he got. Ah I love Phil so much

"Phil hurry up you wet dog" I said while still laughing

"papa I want to ride more rides so please change fast"

"I'm getting changed as fast as I can guys"

Once Phil was done getting changed we went to Kingdom Of The Pharaohs and rode scarab bouncers. It was a ride that went up and down really fast. It was nice seeing Dil smile and be so happy.

"Dad, Papa I'm hungry" Dil said with the sound of his stomach growling as he said it.

"Why don't we go get some lunch at guys I'm also getting hungry" I said and we then went to look for somewhere to eat. We then went to Hill top cafe and grab a quick lunch of sandwiches. After that we went to Dino safari and took one family selfie of us riding in the mini jeep. then Dil said something that made of our hearts burst

"Papa, dad I know we are not like other families. I know most families have a mommy and a daddy and I have 2 daddies but I don't care if we are different. I love you dad and papa so much you don't even know. I'm proud to have 2 daddies and I don't need a mommy to have a family. I rather have 2 dads than have no dads at all. I know we are gay family but I doesn't matter as long as I have you guys. Thank you for being my dads, I love you and thank you for giving me the best birthday ever." He while tearing up.

Both me and Phil hug Dil in a tight loving hug and started crying. I knew that Dil was aware of who his family is and knowing he loves us so much and doesn't care what others think makes love him even more if thats even possible.

We then left the park but not without buying a couple meaning 35 lego playlets for dil and 20 for both be and Phil also.

"Dil we love you so much and we couldn't imagine our lives without you" said Phil

"Dil thank you for being the best son ever." I said

We then got to the hotel and went straight to the indoor heated pool and just swam with Dil. Dil had floaties on that made him look so adorable. Once we got done swimming we all took a nap before Dinner.

At Dinner we had arranged for them to bring out a birthday cake for him saying happy birthday our beautiful Dil. We ordered pasta, pizza and a healthy kale salad. Once done with all of our food the cake came out we sang happy birthday to Dil.

So what do you guys think. It took me 3 hours to write and I put my heart and soul into this chapter. I hope you like.
