You have been counting down to this day for MONTHS. Constantly asking when your day would come. When would you get your blue cake and have everyone sing Happy Birthday to F. And somehow it’s finally here. I’ve been calling you a two year old every day leading up to this, savoring these last bits when you’re still so little. Because in many ways you are so big.

You can get yourself dressed and put your dishes in the dishwasher. You love doing arts and crafts and chasing after your kitty until you give her the biggest hug. You love making us laugh and joking with us. You are very opinionated and loud and I love it. Every morning before school you require a high five, a fist bump, a kiss, and a hug.

You’ve had a lot of changes to get used to recently. A new big kid bed that no one was ready for, but had to happen after you refused to stop climbing out of your crib. You miss your crib badly, but I think you’re finally adjusting to your bed, and maybe even don’t hate it. You’ve got some school changes that you’re not happy about either, but I think will work out for the best soon, and some other things coming too. Overall it’s a lot to throw at a newly 3 year old, but you’re getting through it.

I love watching your mind work, and see you think independently more and more. The other day you were sitting pensively, and you looked up at me and said “I think I want to watch cocomelon. I think I’m going to watch cocomelon.” And you were right.

You had your first breath holding spell last week, which is honestly impressive. We assumed you wouldn’t experience them since both your siblings were much younger when they appeared. But you were just making sure we’re all still on our toes, and not assuming anything. No complacency over here, even though this is our third time around!

Happy birthday not so little one. I hope it was everything you wanted.
