Ah, my funny son...you make me laugh every single day. I am loving watching you grow up into a sensitive, rambunctious, hysterical little boy. Here are some of the things going on in your life right now...
Your favorite color is orange...you love orange...anything orange.
Your favorite shirt varies from your orange Cars shirt to your orange "excabator" shirt.
You don't really like wearing shoes.
You love trucks of any kind...construction, tractors, cranes, dump trucks, but especially garbage trucks.
If you are in the middle of a tantrum, sometimes the only thing that will calm you down is hearing the garbage truck come down the street.
When you jump into the pool, you go completely under...you've recently learned how to belly flop...now if you would do it in water that is deeper than 6 inches!
You sleep with Louie and Mickey every night...Louie tucks Mickey in and the tag has to be near your face.
You also believe that Louie has special powers that can make people feel better or stop hurting.
The theme for your birthday party is construction.
Lining things up is one of your favorite things...you line up your trucks, books, shells from the beach, and anything else you can find!
You get really upset if anyone messes up your lines.
Whenever I ask you "why were you put in time-out?" your first answer is ALWAYS "I hit Hailey." You say it even if your time-out has nothing to do with Hailey...it makes me laugh every time, but I don't show it b/c I'm too busy acting tough.
You eat everything...and quickly too. The other day I cut your grapes up...nine of them...you then proceeded to shove them in your mouth all at one time. I was freaking out because I thought you were going to choke, but you're remarkably controlled when swallowing!
This year you met Goofy, Donald, Minnie, Thomas, and Santa.
You visited Orlando, North Carolina, Ocean City, Boston, Philadelphia, and New York. You like traveling, but much prefer your own house.
Whenever Dad wears his Phillies hat, you need to wear yours...even though we both know that you're a Yankees fan deep down.
Whenever Hailey is upset, you stop what you're doing to make sure she's okay...that's pretty awesome.
When we go to the park, you love to run around...that's all you do is run around. You also love to run the bases with Daddy...that's fun to do!
In the morning, when I get your clothes out, you always have to lay them out and talk about your outfit.
You love to read...every day.
As you get older, it's incredible to see how much you care when others are hurt or upset. I'm so lucky that I'm going to be able to watch this bloom in you and that you're going to be able to make people feel better. You seem pretty rough-and-tumble on the outside, but I think you're a softy deep down.
I love you,
Mommy
