My love turns THREE. Birthday. Personal.

Hello there my love. Happy 3rd Birthday! We are so proud of you! I’m not sure if it’s because your birthday is in the beginning of the year or because I have very high expectations for you (like all parents do…just maybe a tad bit more), but since you were born, you have met a lot of your milestones before the “expected” time. Except for rolling over. You never liked that (ha, ha). I am in awe of how you were potty trained by two, began speaking in complete complex sentences, and can understand two languages. You are smart because you were allowed to skip the 2 year old preschool room and enter the 3 year old class this school year. You are kind because although it may seem like you have favorite Aunties and Uncles, you pray for each single one of our family members at night, along with all your friends and neighbors, and everyone in the world that suffers from cancer…oh yeah, and the late Toby (Nani’s dog). You are important because you are a super big brother and take this job very seriously. Although at first you were a bit (who am I kidding…a “big a bit” jealous), you are the most helpful and caring big brother. You always make sure she has her “chupon” (pacifier) when she is crying, you like to pretend read your favorite book, Peter Pan, to her and you try to feed her even though she swats your hand away. You totally went through your terrible two’s, but I heard this year is the “Terrific Threes” so I can’t wait for what you have in store for us. We love you lots and lots. You are too good to be true. I want to keep you forever young, just like this, for my selfish self. Yet, I also can’t wait to see you grow in mind, body, and spirit. God bless you E-m-m-e-t-t (Yes, we are also proud you can spell your name)! We love you! Happy Birthday my handsome prince!!! Mommy loves you!
