You are 3!

Happy Birthday Little Dudes (your birthday was yesterday but mom had no time to post)

to my dear William,

This has been an amazing year for you. You started it with very few words and now I can't keep you quiet. You nearly bring me to tears at night when you tell me "I love you too, Mommy".

You hate wearing clothes especially your shirt and shoes. You get dirty very very easily but you love getting "hot showers".

You love to help mom by stirring your own oatmeal, putting the dogs in their rooms and clipping your car seat. It can be a bit of a power struggle sometimes but mommy tries to be patient so you can learn and grow.

You always tell Tommy you are sorry when you hurt him and you love to wake him up in the morning by singing "tommmmmmy, time to wake up". You and Tommy have such a great bond and friendship. You laugh and play and wrestle with each other.

You love to watch TV especially, Dora the Explorer and Max and Ruby and Tom and Jerry. I have to drag you away sometimes or you would sit for hours watching it.

You have grown this year and now are on the growth chart for weight for the very first time.

I love you so much. I am so proud of you!!!

Happy Birthday William!


To my darling Tommy,

You are my cuddler. Your favorite place to be is in my lap reading books. You love books, all books. I don't even think you have a favorite. You can read books for hours.

You have grown so much this year. You started the year barely saying a word and now you can't keep quiet.

At night when you go to bed you say "just one more kiss mommy, one more kiss". It melts my heart and you can get about another 30 minutes of awake time playing this game with me. You so know how to manipulate me already.

You are great scooter rider and are still getting the hang of riding the bike. You like to "peddle, peddle , HONK".

You love to play with Bella and will often take her into your bedroom and close the door just to have her all to yourself.

You love to listen and dance to music at Grandma and Papa's but will instantly stop when you know someone is watching.

You tend to be a bit of a poke and it takes a lot to get you to listen. I am trying to be patient with you and know that you are doing your best to please mommy everyday.

I love you so much. You are growing up so fast and I so proud of you.

Happy Birthday!!!
