C is THREE!

My precious little boy is three and I'm loving every minute of this age!! He is so much fun now... Despite the fact that I hate how fast they grow, I really feel like every stage gets more and more fun! His birthday party this year was completely special to him... His favorite thing to watch on the iPad is Hickory Dickory Dock but instead of the mouse ran up the clock it is the "big blue elephant." So, I decided a while ago I wanted to incorporate that into his small family party. It's the first year I didn't go over board and have a house full of people and it was one of his best birthdays yet. It was still super cute and the cake turned out perfect!

Christian Michael, you are such a blessing. You have the sweetest and biggest heart that makes mommy so proud. The way you already care so deeply for people and hurt for them is amazing. Sometimes I worry that your big heart for people may hurt you but I know it's going to take you very far in life... and I think and pray your heart for the Lord will be on fire. You are an incredibly smart little boy... you learn so easily and pick up on things very fast. Your vocabulary is awesome and you are very very serious about any kind of work you do. It has to be just perfect and you are very precise... another one of momma's characteristics that is good and bad. lol You are so handsome just like your daddy... it freaks me out how much you look like him at times. You're the best big brother ever and Harrison is so very lucky to have you. He looks up to you SO much and tries to do every thing you do. You teach him a lot and I'm thankful that he has such a wonderful little boy to look up to. You moved up to the pre-k class in Sunday School and church and you go to the kids service on Wednesday nights now... You are loving it and having so much fun! I look forward to you learning more and more about Jesus. We are thinking about enrolling you for preschool in August. You've been blessed with a Nana that is able to stay home with you and teach you your whole life and we are so thankful for that but I think you're ready to go have some social time with other kids, other than at church. It will be good for you and I think you'll have so much fun!! We are praying very hard that KBC is able to open up a preschool soon... That would be such a blessing!!! I could honestly go on and on about all the cute things you do now and how much you know but it would be forever long. I have so many "favorites" with you but I think my fav thing right now is our bedtime routine. I love it.  We read, you let me rock you every night and we sing all of your songs (Jesus Loves Me, He's Got the Whole World in His Hands, ABC's, Hickory Dickory Dock, and London Bridges), then you decide what animal you want to be and we crawl to your room and make animal sounds.. haha, this sounds ridiculous but you love it, and then we pray beside your bed on our knees, and I tuck you in but most nights you want me to lay in bed with you for a little bit and you wrap both arms around me. You will never understand how that makes me feel. I have tears in my eyes right now just writing this.... it's the most precious time I have all day. I love you so much Christian Michael... You are my little angel.

Stats: I need to measure his height this week. He weighs 32 lbs. Wears 3T in most but still some 2T (pants are a hard one because he's too long for 2T but to slim for 3T), size 9-10 shoe (big foot), and completely out of diapers (has been for a while now, PTL!!). We are working on holding the pencil the correct way and writing, letter/number recognition, and cutting shapes out. He loves using scissors! He does know his moon phases already.. priorities of a science teacher. ;) He can count to atleast 20, knows his abc's, all shapes, and colors, loves challenging puzzles, and really likes to build things and put stuff together. One of his favorite things to do is help me cook. We got a few preschool work books for his birthday that we are going to start on. Of course I will save all of his work like a crazy person. :) I can't wait to see how much he learns and grows over the next year.... Love being his mommy!!

I was blessed with a snow day on his actual birthday and got to spend the day with him. I made him birthday pancakes and he loved them! :)
