This blog is dedicated to my three very busy boys - Walker, Hunter and Colter. I journal here, so I can remember all the fine details and memories made of what it is like to be your Mother.

Happy Birthday, Coley!

Dear Colter,

Today you turn 3 years old. It has been the fastest three years of my life so far.  You have brought such joy to our family. You are such a positive,  happy addition to our family.  You have grown so much this past year. Here is a little about you:

  • You wear size 3T tops and bottoms
  • Size 7 toddler shoes
  • you weigh 30 pounds
  • You like to get your haircut
  • You hate hats cause they're "itchy"
  • You have little interest in the potty
  • You do have an interest in Superman underwear and ask when you can have some
  • You still love your "binky"
  • You sleep from 7:30pm to 7:30am
  • You nap from 1pm to 3pm daily
  • You sleep with little plastic dinosaurs
  • You LOVE to take baths
  • I think you purposely make a mess when you eat, just to take a bath
  • You can sing the whole Veggie Tales intro song
  • You love your brothers and follow either one of them around wherever they go
  • Every time you pray you are thankful for the school bus
  • When you are talking to me every sentence ends with the word Mama
  • You love to eat and you tell me you are hungry every 20 minutes - literally
  • You asked to eat fruit snacks about 10 times a day
  • You hate to wear pajamas, you always ask to "get dressed" which means wearing jeans and a t-shirt, so you are ready to go in the event I'm going somewhere - you do not want to be left.
  • We've watched Finding Nemo at your request, I'm sure over 300 times
  • You love to go to the theater, and you have to have popcorn. your OWN popcorn
  • You hate getting your temperature taken
  • You've had 3 ear infections :(
  • You love to be read to
It has been such a blessing to raise you these past three years. I look forward to watching you grow, reading more bedtime stories,  cooking endless meals and celebrating many more birthdays. You are treasured little guy.

I love you,


Mama
