my sweet sweet lane.
i cannot believe another year has flown by. you are now three. when you turned two i panicked b/c the next year you would be three. now here we are and i'm panicking b/c next year you'll be four. you can't pass as a baby anymore, not even a toddler, you're a kid. (although you'll always always be my baby. baby lane.)
you've changed soooo much this passed year. shortly after your second birthday we had your speech evaluated b/c you said barely 5 words. the specialists told us you were perfectly normal and you'll start talking one of these days. were they ever right. you carry full on conversations. the conversations we have are so grown up. i often have to stop to remind myself that your a little boy. you are so observant. so quick. you really really want to understand things.
you are shy. unless you really know someone...then you aren't shy one bit. in fact, you're so loud, crazy, all boy. you constantly run, bounce, giggle. and you sweat. you are the sweatiest three year old around.
you're the sweetest kid i've ever met. and i'm not just saying that b/c your mine. you love life and live with such passion. you're constantly running up and giving us kisses, hugs, my love yous. your daddy and i are so proud of the little man you are becoming. i pray that your joyful spirit touches everyone you see. i pray that your kind heart touches those in need. and i pray your silliness gives smiles and brightens days. God has big plans for you. you know that....and you have a sincere love for God. everynight you yell at the top of your lungs, "love you Jesus!!" i pray that your love for Him keeps growing and growing and you'll seek His path all of your life.
your a special little man lane.
mama loves you!
...you love dora fruit snacks.
...you still take at least a 3 hour nap everyday.
...you love milk. you still drink 3 8oz cups everyday. i'm convinced you could live off just milk.
...you can put on your own shoes and everytime you ask "this right foot?" just to make sure i'm paying attention.
...you LOVE anything with wheels. really. your obsessed with cars, trucks, tractors, you name it, you love it.
...you can easily tell me what type of car is what and never get tricked.
...pretty much the only time we have to discipline you is if you get a little to aggressive towards gage. sharing is hard.
...you have a freaky good memory. this sounds like i'm bragging about you, maybe i am?, but you are so smart. i'm amazed all the time. you sing songs, abc's, and i loose track of how high you can count.
...we say "obey the first time" at least 30 times a day.
...you still sleep with blankie, bunny, little blue bear, tiger, and turtle. yes, all of those.
...you have a deep fear of the dark.
...you are SO organized. you like things done a certain way...your way. your cars are always lined up perfectly. you like to sit on a certain side of the couch. like to walk down the stairs holding my hand, you on the left and me on the right, always.
...you are such a slow eater.
...you love to read books.
...you are huge. according to the dr, you are the size of an average 4 1/2 year old. you grew 4 inches this past year!!
...you've been potty trained for nearly a year now. you were so easy to train...your little brother has lots to live up to:)
...you love music. particularly music you can dance too.
