My little bear is THREE!


It's been two days and I still can't really believe it - Thomas is THREE!  It seems like just yesterday that he was born and also like he's been here forever.

These days are equal parts fun and frustrating. Thomas is independent yet still such a momma's boy. Today, actually, he told me that he wanted to make popcorn (gasp! I know, letting my three year old eat popcorn) while I held him. I'm not sure he actually wants to be completely independent....

His favorite song for me to sing at sleep time is Jingle Bells. His favorite toy is Buzz Lightyear and his favorite movie is Sing! Though, he's a big fan of Elsa too. He would watch Daniel Tiger and Curious George all day long if I let him. He likes the idea of taking naps in my bed but doesn't actually do it. He loves chip and dip more than anything else in the world. He'll eat three pieces of Johnny's Pizza when he gets the chance. Annie's fruit snacks are the best kind of fruit snack.

He tells me that he 'really misses Daddy very much' at least three times a day, three hundred times on Mondays. He would rather be outside than anywhere else and at the beach more than our house.

He likes to help me cook, but rarely eats what we make. His sweet tooth is proof that he's mine. His favorite book is The Cat in the Hat. He prefers Shake it Off over Old McDonald but he's always up for The Wheels on the Bus.

I love this kid more today than I did yesterday and I don't know how it's possible.
