My 3 year old!

Today sometime around 1 am my first child turned three years old. I can’t believe how much Eli has changed and grown in those 3 years.

Today Eli speaks in full sentences is shy in new settings and loves to play with other kids. Anyone who plays with him or is near his age he calls friends. I love him.

Dear Eli,

I hope you are always the sweet happy boy you are. You are so polite now you say please and thanks all the time. You say sorry when you need to and give lots of kisses, you can talk on the phone and wave good bye to anyone. You are very firm when you know your right, sometimes mom forgets to use her inside voice when she is angry and you always say very firmly "no yell at me mom!"

You love Cars and Choo Choo trains, but Cars are more fun, you and daddy always are adding to your collection of toy cars from the Cars movies. 

You love cream puffs and yogurt and Spanish rice. You love shows too but we try not to watch to many a day. You love running around outside and racing.

We recently got the movie Frozen and you love the snowman character named Olof you like to smell flowers and pretend to sneeze and then say "oh no my nose!" then mommy's job is to pretend to put your nose back on. :)

You will want to play with you brother so you will call "I need you kayden!" It is so fun to hear your vocabulary grow. You are learning to share and play together; the other day you went out of your way to make sure that mom and kayden both had the same snacks you did, cool! You are so giving and loving.

You are my little angel boy, mom loves you always.

When you were born I would stay up late when you were asleep just watching you and praying for you. You slept in a crib then and seemed so small, now you sleep in a grown up bed.

When you were a little older you would love to snuggle with mom and read, you still like that. I am glad we have story time.

I am so proud of how you are growing up!
