Yesterday was Evan’s birthday, and I just can’t believe that he is now three years old! Where in the world did the time go??!! It seems like just days ago that he was learning to crawl, trying to figure out how to grasp objects with his ENTIRE hand, and pointing at the birds and squirrels outside in pure amazement. Now he is learning to WRITE LETTERS, can get dressed virtually by himself (still working on the shirt part), can eat an apple whole (without me having to cut into into tiny, choke-proof pieces), and makes the funniest jokes!! He is a little boy now, and I don’t think that I’m quite ready for that yet. I wanted my baby to stay - well, a BABY - for just a little longer. Do any of you Mom’s out there know what I mean?? Since he might end up being my only child, I wasn’t wishing for him to fly through any stage, not even the crazy two’s. He’s such a sweetheart, so loving and affectionate. And he is not stingy with the “I Love You’s” which is so wonderful. Yep, he is a handful at times, and in some ways is fiercely independent. But no human being has ever made me feel so loved, and I am grateful to God beyond words for that.
He had a great time opening his presents last night….
We had cupcakes instead of a big cake. Cupcakes are so fun to eat!!
YUM-MMMEEE!
