Three

James boy...how is it that you are already three? And also, how is it that your mama is 2 months behind on blogging about your birthday? Sigh...


Three. Where do I even begin to describe you at three? Here are some things that instantly come to mind.

• You are funny. So funny! You crack jokes, make up new remixes to songs with random words, and are a jokester. A day is never dull with you. Ever!
• You are becoming more sensitive and aware of feelings. You don't like to be reprimanded for things and sometimes get really teary if mommy and daddy have to get after you about something that is unsafe.
• You are completely potty trained (and have been for several months). You still wear pull ups at bedtime, but otherwise rock your big boy underpants throughout the day with minimal accidents.
• You say some of the funniest things. I think my favorite phrase to date is "Mommy, what's this called 'bout?" (aka- Mommy what is this about.)
• You are full of energy! From the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed, you are 110% energy!
• Sleep- for the most part you do great. You occasionally have some random nights where you wake up, but for the most part you do great. You still want to snuggle at bedtime and read a lot of books. Lately it's been close to 9:00 most nights when you are finally in bed and asleep, so we need to work on that before baby brother arrives. :)
• You are smart. So smart! You daddy and I are legit starting to worry that you will be so bored in Kindergarten. You know all of your colors, shapes, numbers, and alphabet. You can spell some basic words and just have an overwhelming knowledge and awareness for anything around you. You seriously amaze us daily with something new! :)

All-in-all, we couldn't love you anymore than we already do! You make us proud on a daily basis and fill our lives with so much joy! We are so grateful for you each and every day and pray that you continue to grow into a healthy young boy and always lean on us and God through your life.

We love you, James Michael!
