my lil' man is three!

i am so happy and proud of the other man in my life, he turned three today!

 

he is growing up so fast, that i don't want to forget a single thing...  so, i'm going to list the simple things that amaze me about him:

• he runs like a lightning bolt
• he loves his scooter and bike
• he loves reading books, magazines, or the newspaper
• he can count to 20 and identify colors and shapes
• he forms multiple word sentences and tells us stories all the time
• he likes telling you everything he sees as we drive by them (trees, trucks, cars, birds, mountains, etc...)
• he's head-strong, intuitive, and independent
• he's very affectionate (i never tire of his hugs and kisses)
• he smiles first thing in the morning when he wakes up
• he loves listening to music and dancing, he loves beyonce, just like mommy
• he's very energetic and a huge goof-ball, just like daddy
• he sings all the time, making up his own melodies - softly and on the top of his lungs.  (he can also sing my mom's version of the ilongo lullaby, "ili, ili, tulog anay" - it means "hush, hush, go back to sleep.  she sang this to him since he was a newborn, it puts him to sleep everytime)
• he loves his lego blocks, and he helps put them away too!
• he says "please" and "thank you"
• he tells us that he loves us all the time...

i also wanted to share some of the fun we had yesterday.  here are some of the things we did on his special day:

 

he wanted to do everything himself...

a very special treat at one of our favorite spots...
