How can it be that you’re turning three
Time traveled so fast, especially for me
As a newborn, you were my baby so sweet and so small
You slept all the time, except for nightfall.
When you were only 8 months, we told daddy of another
I made you a t-shirt – one that spelled out ‘big brother.’
By the time you turned one, you were already talking
And I could barely believe it when you started walking.
As a toddler of 2, you taught us so much
You love your cars and your baby, without either you fuss.
You love riding your tricycle and kicking the ball
You make car noises when you play and are growing so tall.
You don’t like puppies, or elephants, or animals of any kind
You never quite recovered after goats rushed you one time.
You recently discovered you love playing in leaves
You jump until it gets dark and you can’t even see.
The best thing about you: your laugh and your smile
You make every single moment incredibly worth while.
What this year will bring, I can’t wait to see
Happy Birthday to you, my biggest boy of three.

He is an adorable mix of the two of you. Love his twinkly sparkly eyes! You are so lucky.
Witty…..and sweet. Congrats on surviving three years. We’re celebrating two 5 year olds this week!
Check out my blog…..your poem fits my link up question perfectly!
this is so sweet – i teared up! it seems that time speeds up once you have kids & all you want it to do is slow down (except for the not sleeping through the night time!) And he is really stinking cute!
How he has grown and what a sweet baby boy (toddler). Can’t wait to all of you and squeeze you and kiss you and see my own sweet baby girl. xxoo
