Oh, my baby bear! I cannot believe how you have grown this last year :) Some parts of you have changed so much and in many ways you are still the same.
Here is how I described you last year:
"You have gone from a little baby boy to an active little toddler. You are stubborn and a cuddle bug, loud and dramatic, loving and a beast all at the same time. I couldn't imagine you any other way. :)"
All of that is exactly the same. You still love me to hold you like a baby, but only when it is your idea. Your volume rivals that of a full grown adult and you are very animated when you speak. My favorite is when you give me the: "Really, Mom? You think I am gonna buy that?" look. You tilt your head to the side, and raise your eyebrow at me and say "Huh?!" I really need to get it on video...
You are fascinated by super heros! You love Iron Man and SpiderMan, they are your favorites. Pretty much anything that you could find in a comic book just draws you in.
You are very...what's the word...determined? Yeah, that's as good as any. ;)
When you want something or are done doing something, that is it. You are done, that is the way it is and nobody is going to change your little mind about it. NO-BODY. EVER. EVER. EVER.
I hope that you keep your sense of determination the rest of your life. While it drives me crazy and makes life a bit more complicated, it is a wonderful thing to have and it will take you wherever you want to go.
Recently, I asked you what you wanted me to call you. I said: "Hey buddy, what do you want me to call you; Lucas or Luke?" and you looked at me with your big brown eyes and did "the head tilt" and said: "Mom...my name is Lukie." So we call you Lukie. :) I am very interested to see how long you will let all of us call you Lukie, because I am pretty sure that it will stick forever now.
So my little baby bear, I love you so much and I still have a hard time realizing that you are actually 3. You talk about going to preschool and learning to write letters and wanting to ride your bike and you can dress yourself all by yourself...there are so many things about you that just amaze me. My favorite thing about you and me is that when I tuck you into bed at night and say "good night my baby bear, I Love You" you answer "goodnight my momma bear" and then after I walk out of the room, I always hear you tell me that you love me, even when you are trying to be sneaky. ;) You love to be sneaky and I love that you love to be sneaky <3
Keep being sneaky forever, please. <3
Chocolate chip waffles for breakfast, heart-shaped peanut butter and jam for lunch, and pizza and cheese bread for dinner and a Spiderman cake for dessert? What more could a 3 year old want?! The last thing you wanted was to cuddle for just 5 more minutes at the end of the day. Who could say no to that, birthday boy or not?! Certainly not me ;)
