You have taught me so many things in these past three years. You have allowed me to know the true love of a parent, taught me to take in the moment, and push me to the ends of my patience. I love watching the little person you are becoming. You are so timid, and sweet, but you are so stubborn as well. You remind me a lot of myself. I love everything about you my sweet baby (even though I am not allowed to call you that). I love the fact that you love to snuggle me at night, and the fact that I can calm you when you are crying just by placing my face against yours. I love your silly stories, and the pretend world that you imagine. I love getting lost in your little boy mind. You are perfect beyond words. Time is moving way too fast, and I literally can not believe you are three!
At Three Years Old you are:
- All imagination. We are constantly fighting giants, alligators, dinosaurs, and bears! You keep me guessing, and running for my life :).
- You are timid, You are oh so timid. You do not like things out of the ordinary, and it takes you a while to warm up to a new situation. You are starting preschool in a couple of weeks, and this worries me a bit.
- You have developed a fear of the dark. I hate that you fear. Fear is the one thing in life that I wish I could keep you from ever experiencing. You think that bears, and dinosaurs live in your closet, and you must sleep with the light on. I try to show you how to be strong and not fear, but it is a task mama is still working on herself.
- You love to be read to over and over again. At night we may read the same book 10 times. I am ok with that however, because you snuggle close and we end our day on a high note.
- You love to have your back, head, legs, belly etc rubbed. You are so my child. You always tell me "they hurt" so I will rub them.
- You love to swim. You are doing great with your swimmies and have overcome a lot of fears of the water. At times you can tread with out your swimmies on.
- You love your sister. Oh how you love her. You told us "Kinlee not allowed to date boys. I will kick, and hit those boys! They can't take my Kinlee away from me" :)
- You also fight with your sister a lot over toys.
- You still have a binky......I know I know....one of these days we will get rid of it.
- You love to play cars, and big trucks. You can get lost for hours just playing on the floor with them.
- You love tools. You always pretend you are going to work with pa and daddy to build houses. You always build a blue house with 2 bedrooms. One for you and one for me. You are working to save money to buy me a car :). You are so giving.
- You are very compassionate. Anytime anyone is upset you stop and try to figure out what is wrong.
- You love all sports, and say that you want to play all of them.
- You are obsessed with basketball shorts and running shoes.
- You still wear a diaper for nap and bedtime, and they are still wet a lot of times when you wake up.
- You are picky. Your favorite food is pizza, and cereal. You always want to eat cereal.
- You always come up to me and ask me to hold you, and I love it.
- You are in the Why, the because I want to, and the "mama your mean" stage. We are working our way through these.
- You are usually a good listener, and require very little discipline. You have your days however.
- You are so excited to start school. You always say "I go to school with my backpack on my back, my lunch box with my food, and I ride in daddy's big truck". I pray you love school.
- You have come a long way in your speech. However, a lot of people have trouble understanding you. I am going to talk to your doctor about speech therapy at your 3 year visit.
- You love to go to the library, the zoo, and otterville.
- You remember everything, and you have really started taking in conversations.
- I tell you that you are perfect and you say "No your perfect" and then you kiss me. I love it.
- "Only daddy loves me" is your new thing to say.
- You have to sleep with your doggy pillow
- You always say Amen after prayers and after we pray in the car.
- You are starting to really take in what I tell you about God and Jesus.
- Your best friends are "Hudson, Pres, and E"
I love you so much my sweet boy. I could go on an on about who you are at three. You are so perfect, sweet, and loving!
