So my awesome boy turned three today! When I got everything out to wrap his presents I pulled the Toy Story birthday card out of the carrier bag it had been kept in since I bought it a month or so ago and felt saddened that the badge on the front of it had a big number 3 on it! It didn't seem right.
He has grown so much - both physically and mentally - this past few months:
- He has gone from being a talker to a real conversationalist. His speech and vocabulary amaze me sometimes and he talks with you now rather than at you.
- He is improving a lot of his finer motor skills and is now becoming more coordinated with his cutlery and can cut his own food with a knife and fork.
- And the biggie is we finally cracked potty training with only minimal accidents (we were beginning to think he was never going to get there!!).
In fact, his whole demeanour seems to have changed. He is still the happy, easy-going little ray of sunshine he always was - but he seems to have grown up all of a sudden. Like he is taking his impending role of big brother really seriously. He talks about his baby sister quite frequently, he likes to cuddle my bump and tell me all the things he is going to do for her or help me with when she get's here. I'm so happy he is excited about her :)
He has such an exciting morning opening presents. And this year was really exciting for us too because he really understood what the day way all about, he was really into the unwrapping of everything and showed interest in everything he got.
Big man has had such a good day but he is shattered now and tucked up in bed.... I can't wait to see what he will surprise us with next :)
