We had such a wonderful birthday celebration with you. It was so obvious how much you loved every moment. You kept telling everyone it was your "Happy Birthday". It seemed to go on and on as you were getting more gifts each day. By the end I think it lasted a whole week. You loved opening the gifts and had a blast blowing out the candles on your cake. We did not have a party with friends this year but will make up for it as you get older.
I can't believe you are 3 years old! Time is sure going quickly. You are growing like a week and right at 3 feet tall. You are weighing in at about 33 lbs. Quite a bit different from the 18 lbs you weighed at 18 months. Your personality is really shining through. You are always trying to get a laugh/rise out of everyone around you. Your laugh...how contagious and you have the cutest smile. People tell me often how stinkin' cute you are and it really is true. Your favorite expression right now is "OH MY GOSH" and of course I have no idea where you could have possible gotten that from! You are doing so much better in school now that you're in Ms. Lisa's class. You're becoming a good listener and participating nicely in class. You even stopped crying when I drop you off...finally! You love playing outside and riding on your scooter. It's amazing how well you did the first time on a scooter. Now you're scooting around on a Cars' (the Disney movie) scooter rather than a Princess one. You enjoy playing with your sisters and love your trains, trucks and cars but especially love playing with the dollhouse. I guess that's what happens when you grow up with 2 older sisters! We do have some cute pictures of you dressed up in princess dresses. Poor guy. The good news is someday all of their cute friends will be hanging out at YOUR house. Hopefully your sisters won't take out the pictures I just mentioned :).
I'm so lucky to be your Mommy, Drew. I still can't believe how perfectly our lives have ended up. You were the last piece of the puzzle and fit so perfectly. You made our family complete.
Thanks for loving us, thanks for making us laugh, thanks for putting up with your crazy Irish twin sister with the curly hair, thanks for adjusting to our not always scheduled lives, thanks for sleeping in every morning and never waking me up during the night, thanks for all the hugs and kisses, thanks for the amazing smiles and thanks for letting me be your Mommy.
Happy Birthday My Special Boy!
Love,
Mommy
