Connor's 3rd Birthday

My sweet birthday boy,

     I can't believe that you are THREE today!  That makes me both happy and sad. Happy because you are growing into such a wonderful, smart, and curious boy, but sad because you are not as little as you once were. As I write you this, I have tears rolling down my cheeks  because I can't believe how fast you are growing. People always told me to enjoy every moment with you because you were going to grow so fast. I didn't want to believe them, but boy were they right! I am just fortunate that I get to stay home and spend all day with you {except on Monday, Wednesdays, and Friday mornings when you have school}.  

    Over this last year, you have really developed your own personality! You are such a great mix between your daddy and me. You are hyper and rambunctious like your daddy. You love to play outside and play sports. You love fixing things and borrowing daddy's tools to work on your scooter, or anything else you can find that needs "fixing". You are like me in the sense that everything has it's place. You like things in order and if you get dirty, there better be a sink nearby because you can't stand dirty hands. You love cooking and like ketchup on everything just like me. 

     Since your last birthday, you have become potty trained {during the day and at night}, graduated to a bunk bed, started part-day preschool, added 8 different countries to your list of countries visited, visited the dentist, and you aren't scared of getting you haircut or visiting the doctor anymore. All signs of a growing boy!

     I'm excited to see what this year has in store for you. Your daddy and I love you so, so much! You have changed our world for the better and we couldn't imagine our lives without you.  You make us so happy and proud!

XOXO,

Mommy
