To our not so much baby as little boy Luke,
I can't believe you are already three years old. You have really been a blessing to me and your daddy. While the last few months have brought with it a fair amount of two going on three temper tantrums, you have also kept us constantly amazed at your ability to learn new things and adapt to change. We've moved from an apartment to a house (the 3rd place you've lived so far) and you left your crib for a big boy bed and started potty training all with such ease. We wanted you to have a special 3rd birthday as it was the last birthday you'd have with us all to yourself since brother Brad was born just 6 days after you turned 3. You started a more advanced class at preschool on 10/1 and have been doing wonderfully, you are so smart Luke!
You love to sing and even make up songs by yourself! You love sports like Daddy and even ask to watch football or basketball, but you still prefer your PBS cartoons to anything. You've really grown into a little boy this last year and even since Brad has been born I see you growing up even more. You are a great big brother and although Brad might not be that much fun to play with yet, you are very sweet to him and I think you two will be great friends soon enough :)
We love you little man!
Mommy and Daddy
On your actual birthday, we brought in a cookie cake for you to share with your classmates at school
you on the morning of your birthday
still with the pacifier (although you don't have it anymore, the reason for why is a whole other post!)
that evening we celebrated just the 3 of us with some left over birthday cake from your party and some presents mommy had saved from Grammy and auntie Lynn so you'd have something to open that day. You loved the art markers and book as well as the spider man sheets and blanket!
It was a special time for the three of us to spend together!
