Here we go, your year 3 letter.
Can you believe you'll start school this year? I signed you up for pre-school screening the other day...you're so ready. I hope I am.
I've heard you say, "I'm mommy's baby boy" a lot lately. Like you know I need to hear it sometimes.
There are afternoons when I pick you up from Kyra's and I swear you've grown half an inch and lost just a little more of those little boy cheeks I love so much. It catches me off guard a lot, like I haven't been paying close enough attention to the particulars like the shape of your eyes or how you smile...you just never stop growing.
And not just physically - your personality is in full bloom and you are ALL. BOY. Our home is filled with monster trucks, tractors, hot wheels cars, dinosaurs, swords, guns, bats, balls, spider man, star wars, TMNT...if it's boy related, you love it. You are opposed to anything pink or purple, but you're never too shy to play with Bevin and her dollhouse when she comes over :) If you're not talking about some kind of vehicle or shooting & cleaning animals (yes, at 3 you're all about "getting the blood out"), then you're talking about your penis, your pee or your poop. I knew it was coming. I knew having a boy would fill my life with pee on the toilet seats and endless amounts of potty talk, but apparently I was not prepared for how quickly it comes. I hope when you're 18, you appreciate the stories about how proud you are of your manhood at this age...and your father's for that matter. Your latest saying on repeat is "The password is Penis." Oy.Most of the time though, you're just straight up funny...you make us laugh CONSTANTLY! I've recently started to write down some of your little "Jaseisms" and I've already got quite the post going. You blow us away with the things that your expanding brain comes up with. I love watching the wheels in your head turning when you're processing new information and the questions you form to understand things. Your imagination is really taking off as well. I'm still not convinced you need actual corn to fill up your combines with though...
That temper I mentioned last year is still hanging around. To say you are strong willed is an understatement. You can lose your mind at the drop of a hat and just as I'm about to lose mine, you'll look up at me with those big blue eyes and...snap...we're best friends again. You keep us on our toes boy. There are mornings when I'm sweating from fighting you all the way from the bed to the door, but at some point each time that happens, I have to take a deep breath and remember...
Because through all the tough mornings and napless afternoons, you are still just 3. Someday I'll probably miss your crazy threenager logic on why you don't like certain shirts and why some days no toilets are acceptable. I hope one day it turns you into a leader so I can look back and remember that you've had that fight in you all along.
I have so much more that I could say about you, I haven't even touched on your sweet side, but since you're old enough to have an opinion, I thought it would be best to let you do the talking...you were in such a great mood when we did this...
