As we finish your week-long birthday celebration, your Baba and I are amazed at your sudden on-set of a LOT of words being put together into LONG sentences. You really have a lot to say and you desperately want us to understand you and we are absolutely trying! Your mind is sharp and your problem-solving skills are great. Right before your 3rd birthday you asked me for your toy broom. I got it from the closet for you and you handed back the dustpan, saying that you didn't need it. Then, I watched in amazement as you went beside the couch, laid on your belly, and stuck your broom under the couch to sweep out a toy you had lost under there! Clever, clever little boy, we love you so much!
You are handsome and funny. You still think your sister is the most amazing person in the world. You asked for a birthday party with "candy, cake, ice cream and juice." You picked out a box of Skittles at the store several weeks ago to be your birthday present and it stays in the closet and when you see it you point to it and say "my birthday" because you are demonstrating your first delayed satisfaction. (You are sometimes mean to the dog: she is not a football.) Your facial expressions while you tell a story are priceless. You can never get enough YouTube. For two weeks, you have slept until 5 in the morning.
The world can learn a lot from you. Well, at least I certainly can.
Be silly.
Be cuddly.
You don't always need to speak with words out loud to communicate.
Greet the people you love with abandon.
Be empathetic.
Share your stuffies.
Lavish your loved ones with tight hugs and sloppy kisses.
Read a lot of books.
Use up all of your energy every day and collapse into bed knowing you had a full day. (I do that too, buddy.)
Dream big: get big ideas and try to carry them out.
