You are three years old. The day you were born will forever be the best day of my life. You made me a mama and changed the world as I know it. I will never forgot the euphoria I felt when you laid on my chest for the first time or the tears of joy that I couldn't stop for hours. You are an amazing gift and I am thankful for you every day.
You are growing up before our eyes and have turned into a little boy. You love going to school and have made lots of developmental leaps since you started a few months ago. Your favorite part is the fruit loops they give you for snack and going to the bike the room where you get to run around a play with the ride on toys. You are talking up a storm and starting to say some hilarious things. You are a little sponge and repeat our expressions. Some of my favorites are; "You need to be careful, mom" and "Don't worry, I got it!" You're not a big singer but you've busted out a few songs in the last month. Your favorite one to sing is "Welcome to New York" by Taylor Swift. You love trains, trucks and are especially into airplanes. You love running errands and you're not a fan of going to sleep at night.
You are really kind. You are mindful of others and have the sweetest disposition. You're like you dad in that way. Watching you with your brother and being thoughtful with your friends warms my heart. Kindness makes the world go round and with it you can change the world. You are destined for great things, my son.
Being a three year old is a big job. There are new, overwhelming emotions to cope with and an innate desire to test the limits. You were a really easy two year old so I have a feeling the third year is bound to come with some parenting challenges and power struggles. I know that your heart is pure and you're doing your best. I promise to always attempt to understand where you're coming from and why you're behaving the way you are. I promise I won't micromanage your every move and will do my best to teach you how to make the right choices and trust your intuition. Watching you and your brother grow is my greatest joy. I'm looking forward to another year of loving and learning together.
xoxo,
Your Loving Mama
