You Right Now- 3 Years 3 Months

If I could stop time right now I would. Here are some things I love about You. Things I know in time I never want to forget so I document....

You tell me Mommy I am not a baby, I am a big boy! Yes you are I reply BUT you will Always be my baby!!
You have this way you put your arm around Mommy and Daddy's neck that is so endearing. It's almost like a half hug, but a neck hug. LOVE IT!!! This is not the best picture of it, but gives you an idea.

Last week you moved from the nursery at church to the preschool class. You loved it and learned so much in just over an hour. You were so excited to tell Mommy and Daddy about how you learned how to pray. You made a prayer chain and listed all the things you pray for. Your list included Mommy and Daddy, Evan, toys, grandma and papa, Papa Tony and Grammie, and school (you call Sunday school your school).

You have a pretty big belly which is ironic since you eat next to nothing. Anyway you like to stand with your hands on your hips. This combined with your big belly is pretty darn cute!

You and Brother are in this silly habit of calling everyone Bobby Jo. You recently informed me that your little blue doggie's name is Bobby Jo.

Your favorite things right now include but are not limited to hot dogs, quesadillas, ice cream cones,and your bike. You ride your bike every day and you no longer need any help. You even rode around the lake with Daddy and Evan today, and you made it around our huge block with Mommy.

You love to make other people laugh and are very sensitive, kind, and gentle. The other day you accidentally smashed your brother's finger while playing with a mailbox toy. Evan cried since it REALLY hurt. You felt sooo bad that you joined in...and sobbed and sobbed!!! You remind me of ME! I have never seen you hurt anyone intentionally or even take something away from someone (except your brother of course). People call you an"Old Soul"..so kind..so gentle!

You do not require as much sleep as we think you do. You do not nap, and have not in quite awhile. When you get tired and cranky your statement is "I want Something"? You never tell us what that something is, but it's our cue that Mr. Grumpy has arrived on the scene, and he needs his bed ASAP. You often chant this with a groan in the car when you are exhausted.

You love gum and have learned to chew it until it loses it's taste and then spit it in the garbage. The other day you had to take your gum to the park while Mommy's friend watched you. It was reported that you were sharing your gum with others and telling them "If I give you one piece, I will have three left"..and so on. Daddy and I are hopeful that your math skills will be better than ours, if not we will be hiring a tutor for you;).

You love Popsicles A.K.A. possible's. We have been making our own and that is exciting but hard to wait for. It takes a long time for juice to freeze when you wait by the freezer.

Your breath often smells like strawberries, and you don't even eat strawberries..Figure that out! I wish I had strawberry breath in the morning.

You love Chocolate Milk and Tom and Jerry, these are your two morning requests.

You still won't eat your greens, however we did convince you to eat one at dinner the other night. You are now convinced that you will grow since you had your one green bean. Whenever we ask you to eat them you tell us "I did Yesterday"!

You are sleeping in a big boy bed but you have no idea that you can get out of the bed whenever you want. If you need something or when you wake up you call "MOOOOOMMMMYYYY"".. I keep wondering when and if you will figure out that you can get out of bed. Hopefully not any time soon.

You are my Sunshine with your beautiful green eyes and smile. I love you sweet boy! Happy 39 Months Calumazoo!!!
