3 years old!



Dear Andrew,

How can time being going by so fast? It seems like just such a short time ago you were a little infant, depending on mommy and daddy for everything. Now you are quite the little boy. You have grown up so much over the last year and mommy has a hard time keeping up!

You have an amazing personality. You're friendly, happy and easy going. It makes taking you around so easy and everyone you meet quickly becomes your friend. Your friends at Gina's daycare are excited to see you everyday when you show up and you run off to go play without a care. We still meet with your friends from playgroup too and you are forming a nice friendship with them. The biggest change this year is how close you and Grevin have become. I think you think he is your brother (which is ok with me!) because he is the only kid you will fight with. You ask to see him everyday so mommy makes a point make sure we have our weekly dinners with him.

Your imagination has grown so much over the last year. The last month you are convinced you are a dog. You crawl around the house, bark and have started to lick me! I draw the line at letting you eat off the floor!! You are the cutest little dog and it makes me laugh each time you "transform." You like to make spiders crawl all over mommy by taking your hands and crawling them up my arms and legs. You also have acquired a love for monsters. You aren't scared of them but you are convinced they are everywhere. You can scare them away yourself by saying "boo"!

Your favorite game right now is hide and go seek. You have a little bit to learn though because when we tell you to go hide, you run away and then yell "I'm over here!" When we come to find you, you jump out to scare us. This is your favorite part of the game.

You are very good at playing by yourself but you still love to read books and play with mommy and daddy. Currently you are still into airplanes and trains and driving/flying them around the house. your favorite movie is still Cars.

We are so blessed to have you in our lives and be surrounded by your innocence and smile every day. You continue to amaze me with your funny jokes, stories and facial expressions. As I write this you are laying in bed, singing a song and laughing to yourself. This brings a smile to my face every night.

Thank you Andrew for being such an amazing boy. You will always be mommy's little boy no matter how old you get!

Love,
Mommy
