The past 3 years with you have been wild. There are times where I really wish you were mute but I know the day will come where I will miss you saying my name...or even yelling it (as you often do!).
As I was thinking about what to write to you on your birthday..the only thing that was coming to mind was the wild and crazy things you do! In the moment, I certainly don't find your actions humorous but as the day comes to an end I can't help by chuckle. I have some of the best stories because of you! I know someday we will re-tell these stories to you and you won't believe them...but this blog post will be proof! But for now you will continue to be the primary source of our entertainment. I am quite popular at work these days...it seems whenever someone is having a bad day they come find me to hear what kind of trouble you have been getting into!
Here are some of your more humorous moments worth mentioning...
Putting a fishing rod in the ceiling fan at the cottage (no good son! I literally went to the bathroom for 2 minutes..you simply can not be trusted!)
Stopping mid-play to pee in the driveway (pants on) while continuing to eat your Popsicle. (this was an all time FAIL...are you really that lazy?)
Hitting dads brand new truck with a golf club (You almost lost your life that night!)
Dropping your pants in the back yard during a cook out and yelling - "I peed in the lawn...Yeah I did!" (I was mortified but at least I didn't have to clean you up!)
Packing a lunch box (or as you refer to it as your back pack) everyday for the sitters with snacks for your friends. (So sweet and thoughtful but annoying when we don't have 7 of the same snacks laying around)
You were forced to re-take your Preschool Screening because you refused to say your name and cooperate in general for that matter. (As of today the jury is still out if you will get into Preschool or not...you should have just let them put the ear muffs on you! You better get it together before your re-test on Tues!)
Licking the door handle like an envelope to the play zone at Chi-Fil-A after I spent most of the meal disinfecting the table and your hands. (This was just gross...you are lucky you didn't come down with Hep B!)
Sitting on the potty every morning and picking out your outfit for the day. (sounds cute eh?? not when you say no to each outfit I hold up then opt for the shirt and shorts that are not even remotely close to a match!)
Repeating your demands over and over and over again! For example...cup mom cup!; I play baseball game!; I go on boat ride!! (This just gets out of hand and the screaming that comes with it is just unacceptable...)
Walking by Audrey and slugging her for no reason what so ever. (Really?...your still not quite big enough to take her on all by yourself...choose your punches wisely my son)
Loading up Audrey's bike and her toys in the wagon and sending it sailing down the driveway into the street. (I almost peed my pants when you started jumping up and down cheering..you were so proud of yourself in that moment but it was pure evil)
Peeing off the back of the boat, Yelling "I'm peeing in the water!" (You choose the most inconvenient time to pee....always.)
While eating out, you will cheer when the waitress brings you your food. (This is just great...I mean how often do waitresses get applause?- this earns you a small 100% of the time)
You love getting people wet with the hose or water guns but are not a fan of reciprocity! (You know how I feel about this...I will always squirt you back and you can run but I will always catch you!)
At night it is non uncommon for our neighbors to stop us outside to ask if you are OK- because all they can hear is you screaming and yelling out your bedroom window.. We just have to reply that you are trying to go to sleep. (We are now on week 6 of this craziness..get it together kid!)
You are a lover! You give the best hugs any mom could ask for. (You play this card too frequently for your own good...you know I can't stay mad at you:) )
You are always holding yourself! (Let it go...I promise it won't fall off...ask your dad!)
Here are some other things worth noting...
Your favorite foods right now...- hot dogs, cookies, ice cream cone, pizza, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Favorite color...purple (everything is purple to you! I really hope you are not color blind. I don't think you are and you are just messing with us)
Favorite thing to do...ride your bike, and play baseball!
Favorite cartoon...Paw Patrol
Favorite Super Hero- Super Man!
Your favorite person (aside from me and your dad)...I think it is a tie between your sisters and Uncle JJ
How you want to spend your Birthday...I gave you 3 choices...Wood County Fair, Pool, or Zoo. You picked Zoo! So off to the Zoo we are going...only after you have had your 3 Year well visit with shots of course :).
My favorite thing about you....your my son :) So glad you were placed in our lives! I love everything about you...the good...the bad...and the ugly!
It is now 12:08 AM 8/1/2014...You are officially 3! And I am officially tired! I have been up late every night this week working on your pinata, making bounce house repairs, and just got back from a late night run to Walmart. Please be kind and sleep in tomorrow (6:45 would be great!) and remember...Your my favorite son and I love you!!
