3

 
Three.  How did that happen?  It seems like just yesterday you were my little baby boy.  You sure aren't a baby anymore!
 
 


You are happy and silly and such a good cuddler.  But like any three year old you're also cranky and whiney and feisty!  You're also very sensitive.  When you get hurt, the only thing that can make it better is a kiss from mama (though I'm also the person you like to hit if you're upset).

You love animals, especially our friend's dog, Dutchie.  If she's with us, you're glued to her side petting her.  That makes Daddy super happy.



You also love music.  While you love to sing in school and in the car, if I ask you to sing at home it's a firm "NO!".  And you never want mama to sing!


 

You love being outside.  It was a tough winter and we made the most of it, but at the first sight of spring we got out!  You need to be outside.  I don't know where you (and your sister) get your energy, but you need to run it out!  Nothing makes you sleep better than a little time in the fresh air.


You still love to eat.  I have no idea where you put all the food you consume, but boy can you put it away!  Thankfully you like good stuff like sweet potatoes, broccoli, and hummus, but if I ask you your favorite food you're quick to say "hotdog and ketchup".
 
 
 
And you sure do love your sister.  It's been pretty sweet to watch you two slowly form an amazing bond.  You always want to do what she is doing and it kills you when she doesn't want to play with you (thankfully it's not that often).  I love watching the two of you play hide and go seek and tag and have a dance party.  


 
 
 
It's hard to believe just a short time ago you were such a little peanut.  Not anymore.  Soon you'll be going to preschool and starting a whole new chapter of your little life.  No matter how big you get though you'll always be my little boy.
