A Masterpiece of Our Own

J, you are growing up so fast! I can't believe that you are almost two months away from being THREE years old. Each day you bring us so much joy and love! If I could, I would keep you a little boy FOREVER. There is so much that I want to remember about you, Sweet Boy!

-You are such a snuggle bunny every night before we take you upstairs for bedtime stories.

-You love to be a happy helper and take your jobs very seriously...Miss Catherine's Bible carrier and our little garage door opener.

-You love music, especially songs with motions and the cd with your name in it...36 times!

-You love to ride in your little red cozy coupe outside.

-You want to throw and catch the ball with Daddy almost everyday. Your catching skills are quite impressive!

-You take boo-boos like a true champ!

-You love praise! We think you are our "words of affirmation" guy!

-You like to sort and match pieces. I love to watch you do these things! Thank you for letting me be your teacher!

-You love playgrounds. You climb on anything and everything. Your favorite slide is the tall, enclosed one, and sometimes you would rather slide down on your tummy.

-You like to pretend you are reading books,especially the repetitive books by Eric Carle or anything that you see with words on it. You understand the very simple concepts of reading and counting objects.

-You are a cautious boy with some things at first but rarely scared to try something.

-You work so hard at producing sounds and words correctly-something most people take for granted. You already show so much perseverance at such a young age!

-You have an amazing smile! I hope the small things in life will always continue to bring you joy!

-You show an unbelievable amount of confidence in the water. We are so proud of you and happy that you have already found a sport that you LOVE!

-You are such a sweetie to your pals, teachers, and us! God has given you an amazing sweet, gentle spirit.
