Some how, in my mind, I thought you would stay a baby forever. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that you talked late.. only saying just a few words at a time this time last year. Maybe it was because we hadn't yet had another baby to steal the role. Maybe it was because you are so stinking sweet and cuddly.
But here we are. And you are growing.. and feeling so grown lately. Your little three year old sass is just about more than I can handle-- but strangely not in a bad way. It makes me laugh because you are just so contradictory to yourself. "I don't want pants on! I do want pants on! I don't want to eat that! That is my favorite!" Ahhhh three.
You bring light to our lives. You have a little magic about you. You think anything is possible. You are physically very strong. You love hard and are always touching someone. You get giddy if you see a persons bare arms or legs because you like to touch them. You are smart. I'm teaching Judah the months of the year, and you know almost all of them just from overhearing. You know almost all of the ABC's by sight. You are excellent on your scooter. You love cooking and crafts, you are a creator. You are so very special to us, even when you are being a stinker. We have you say marshmellow "marsh-marsho" over and over because it makes us laugh and you say it every time we ask. I ask you what song you want at night and you say, "Pooshy." so I sing a song with the word pooshy in it. Then you say, "Boppy" and I sing one with boppy in it. And it goes on and on with made up words till I get sick of it and sing you Jesus love you as a grand finale. You are a classic kid.. into everything and in love with everything.
Showing us 3!
In your birthday crown
To celebrate you we had a party with some friends and family. It was planned for your actual birthday, but.. mama and Jude got sick. How can it be that 2 out of your 3 birthdays had to be rescheduled due to sickness?! You kept asking me on your birthday, "but where is my cake?" with your little hands held out.
(mom and Judah were couch buddies watching videos all day)
(G and G A. brought you, daddy, hope, and hazel out to dinner and then got you a little cake from the store)
So this was your night: Pizza, fruit salad, veggie straws, grilled peppers stuffed with cheese and pepperoni, pickles and olives, juice. Ate outside in the beauty of a 60+ degree day. With the ones that love you and that you love. Chocolate cake with raspberries on it. Opening presents in the sun. Chalk, bubbles, puzzles, books, a fishing pole and a water balloon blower-upper. (last two from mom and dad). Kids on the trampoline, popping bubble wrap that grandpa brought over, later riding on the bubble wrap around the yard, eating and drinking and talking. I think you had a pretty fun day to celebrate YOU! We love you so much!
