Goodbye 3s!

RG, Mommy loves you.  I want you to know that some people say that there are "terrible twos" and sometimes that happens when a child turns three.  It's not always true.  For us, there were only terrific twos and tremendously happy threes!  You have been a joy and a blessing even in your sinful state.  There are so many more things for us to learn!  Sometimes I'm not sure if you are the teacher, or I am!  There are truly not words for how much you mean to me and how much I love you.  I believe you will probably never understand until you have children of your own.

Threes were full of:

Blocks, trains, bikes, butterflies and nets, construction vehicles, legos, math games, literacy, 10 Commandments, the Lord's Prayer, over 100 verses (you memorized them!), laughter, humor, joy, Bible Stories (your favorites always included swords-- like Goliath), books, books, books, paint, markers, chalk, dry-erase boards, letters (you were always building a nest (N.E.S.T.) because you said you were a duck-- and loved the rain for the same reason, you were irrevocably attached to NEMO-- your stuffed fish, we named our new fish Nemo (after Charlie and Charlie 2 died) who was a Beta fish, and you loved ALL things stuffed!  I could go on, but these were your favorite things.

You still cannot get enough "Daddy time" and love Piper, our dog.  You've recently, since Mommy became pregnant, have to take a nap in Mommy's bed with her.  (And it's kept you dry I might add! "No peeing in Mommy's bed!")  I don't mind.  I love cuddling with you!  I have to get my hugs and kisses while Daddy is gone!  Daddy hogs them when he's here!  :)

I love you, you are a joy to my heart and God has given you to me as a balm for my soul.  I know you are His and you will one day become a child of His kingdom because of His covenant promises.  Love you my baby,

Mommy
