Can It Be, He's Really Three?!

12/26/13

Dear Coleman,
      It blows my mind that you are now three years old! You have grown so much in the last year. You can dress yourself and put your shoes on. It's so nice. You mastered potty training this year and I can't tell you how happy I am that you did! You are truly an awesome big brother.You always want to make sure Emerson is included or gets whatever you get. Now that you have a new baby brother you take care of him as well. You are very helpful and do little jobs for me (like throw away dirty diapers). This past year we have moved a few times and you have been very good and happy wherever we go. I am grateful for your good attitude. Very rarely do you throw fits or tantrums. Overall, you are a very obedient boy. There are a few times this past year that you had me fuming. Most of those times were when you decided to take off running down the side walk when I turned my head the other way. It was a challenge to run after you when I had a big pregnant belly and had to drag Emerson along with me. Plus, you are a fast runner. You would run and wouldn't look back. A few times I about had a panic attack as I worried for your safety. This year, we moved to Nampa, ID, to Kansas for two weeks, and then to Clifton, CO with Poppy and Grandma. You love being with Poppy and Grandma. You enjoy feeding the chickens, chasing Jack the dog, and digging in Poppy's garden. You love to sing and quickly learn lyrics. I am amazed by your imagination and enjoy listening and watching you play with Emerson. You enjoy reading books and being read to. Your favorite books always involve trains. Grandma has a train table and you play with it EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. It is the best toy ever. It's been nice having your cousins close as you always want to play with them. You have been very good in nursery. I can't believe you are moving on to primary! I am proud of you and am thankful to be your mother. I look forward to this year and you being three. Happy Birthday Coleman.

Love Mom
