Happy Birthday Colti!!!

Dear Colton,

My sweet boy...I can't believe you are three.  If I think back I can easily recall exactly what you looked, smelled and felt like on the day you came into our lives.  It sounds cliche but it truly feels like yesterday.  I remember being totally overwhelmed with love for you that day and though it's hard to believe I love you even more today.


From the day you came into our lives you have been a wiggly mass of energy.  Your curiosity and nature to go full speed ahead have brought us more joy, laughter, trouble and hospital visits then I could have ever imagined.  I thank God every single day that I get to be your Mama.

At three you still love many of the things that you always have.  You still carry around "Mickey One" and your "Magic Blankie (though it is now called "Blue Blankie") daily and cannot sleep without them.  You have added "my buddy Mickey" or "Big Mickey" into the mix now and he has begun traveling everywhere with us.  Your favorite color is currently yellow and you love anything to do with Peter Pan and Jake and the Neverland Pirates.   I think mostly you love the swords.  You have had a sword in your hand every day since your were given one in Disney this year.  Peter Pan is your favorite movie. You love singing Nutcracker music while playing the role of the Nutcracker or a Ginger Baby.  You adore your big sister and most of the time you are the best of friends.  Your other best friends are Madi Yencer and Trey Loper. 

Visions of Mickey dance in your head

You are attending the Pre-School Program at Little Spartans.  You do very well in school and your teachers often brag about how smart you are.   They say that you are at the top of your class even though you are one of the youngest.  You just finished up another session of music class, which you just adore.  You often ask to go to music on days when there is no class.  I think you will probably be a musical genius:)  You are suddenly starting to develop a lot of Independence but thank goodness you remain my cuddle bug at home...on your terms of course.  I love the sweet little kisses you are giving these days and nothing lights up my heart more to than to hear you spontaneously say I love you.

All set for your school Christmas concert

We are still working on potty training.  You do great when it comes to pee pee's but have demonstrated a pure stubbornness to do the other.  It's a good thing you are so stinking cute.  You sure can light up a room with your sweet smile and dimples.

Though we say it so often it may sometimes lose its' meaning, I want you to know how very much you are loved.  We "Buzz Lightyear love you".  You light up our lives daily and we are endlessly proud of you.

xoxo,
Mama
