Caleb is THREE!

He's three.  He's t-h-r-e-e.  Wow.  My baby.  My cuddle bug.  He is so much fun.  He is silly, cuddly, sensitive, sneaky, and so very lovable.  He is always ready to make someone laugh.  And oh boy, if you start laughing, he will keep his antics going for as long as it will last. 

Milestones:

-Macaroni and cheese is your favorite.  You ask for it for breakfast.

-You love to eat apples.  Whole apples.  Peel and all.

-You walk into Pop and Mawmaw's house and immediately ask if you can have a popsicle. 

-You are the messiest eater on the planet!

-You enjoy playing Ninja Turtles with Dylan.  You both bust out into dancing moves to sing the theme song.  You also say "Mimja" instead of Ninja.

-You also enjoy playing Power Rangers with Dylan, Nana, and Pawpaw.  Mommy banished all swords and fighting from our house unless you are playing it downstairs while Nana and Pawpaw are here.  There were too many daily injuries and fights for Mommy to handle!

-You enjoy kicking a soccer ball.  You kick with your right foot, opposite of your brother.

-You LOVE Berenstain Bears! We read the book all the time. And you sit through them even though they are kind of long!

-You no longer have your papi (see previous post) so you now sleep in your big boy bed with the chick-fil-a cow, giraffe, puppy, baby bear, penguin, and bison.

-You sometimes let out a really loud and ugly scream if you are frustrated or angry.  We are working on learning that screaming doesn't always get you things.  Oops.  Being three can be tough.

Fun words and phrases:

-"Yes I ma'am!" (Yes I am!)

-"I lush you." (I love you.)

-"Just one nap, Momma." (You say this at nap time and again at bedtime.)

-"Evy-time" (everytime)

-"I like it sometimes, but not lotta times."

-You still love all things construction.  You notice differences in machines and equipment and can spot them a mile away!

-You have started going to Bible Hour during Worship service.  You stand at the front with Dylan and lead a song to the group.  

-You got your first pair of real cowboy boots from Crossroads.  

-You point to things with your middle finger.  Almost.  Always. 

-You absolutely love to read books.  We can sit for long periods of time and read.

-You still play so well with toys.  You love the train table.  You also love to play with your Mickey Mouse Firehouse.  You will sit and make all of the appropriate noises.  You have a great little imagination.

-You know your colors and can count to 12.  Then you start saying "x-teen."  

You are our pure joy.  Our hearts have grown so much because of you.  You are just so enjoyable to be around.  Thank you Lord, for giving us this little boy!
