Dear Doster- Three Years! (A few months late!)

     

Sweet Doster,

It is hard for me to wrap my brain around the fact that you are three years old. It seems like we were just celebrating your second birthday!  The last year has gone by faster than any other of my life, and has also been my favorite.

You are 30 pounds of pure joy and my heart is happiest when we are together.

Last Day As A Two-Year-Old

A Party Fit For A Hero

A Little Fun On At The SC State Museum On Your Actual Birthday  

Your verbal skills have gone off the scale this year. I LOVE talking to you. You never cease to amaze me with the things that you say and the ideas that you put together.

Your new favorite thing is flips, and you are not such a fan of sitting still. When you DO sit, it usually involves an activity such as coloring or building.  Constructing Legos or Duplo with your dad is one of the activities that you love the most. You really like your “guys” (stuffed animals) and you are very into Paw Patrol right now. You LOVE superheroes and had a hero-themed party with Super Olivia (separate blog on that to come soon). You are also very interested in sports and you can name more football players that I can, which makes your daddy very proud.

Here is a little (long) video we made a little video on your last day as a two-year-old:

This last year has brought a great deal of changes for you, some easier than others.  No more paci, the toddler bed transition, new classrooms, new house! You have been a trooper through it all and never cease to amaze me with your sweet little demeanor.

Every night before bed, I tell you that being your mommy is my favorite thing.  I sure do mean it, and I sure do love you!
