Baby turns 3

My baby boy just turned 3 and is not a baby anymore. He will always be my baby boy. He is sweet, feisty, stubborn and loving. I love him so much. I love when he says "mommy I la you!" It is so cute the way he says "la" instead of "love". All day he says "I la ….( ice cream, burger, toys, food, soccer, roars, etc)" It is great and I am cherishing every moment. Roars are dinosaurs, by the way. Yesterday, on his birthday, we heard "I la to look at roar bones". And he had a GREAT time doing just that!

He is also testing the limits and learning the boundaries. I am putting my foot down on the "quiet, mommy" and "shhh" because he does not say it in a nice way. It is still funny when he says it but, I do not laugh I put him in time-out. He is SO strong willed that sometimes it can get very frustrating but, I am sure it is very hard to be 3 and be trying to learn how to express your feelings. The other battle is the potty. We do well for a few days then bad again. I am trying not to stress about it and just realize that it will happen eventually.

He is smart and loves animals and dinosaurs. He knows a few dinosaur names and I love to hear him say "ceritops". He knows all the animals—rattles of all their names when he sees pictures of them. When he says rhinoceros it sounds like a motorcycle starting up "rhininininos". And then there is "elephanant" with its extra syllable. I love this age with all its mispronunciations and bigger sentences. My older son now says "spaghetti" but, I will always remember when it was "bisgetti".

I love you, my baby boy, and I am looking forward to all the new things you will do this year!
