Almost 3!!

Dear Jameson,

OMG I haven't written in almost 6 months!!  Sorry about that, we are busy busy people :)

You are eating like a champ.  Your favorite breakfast is a Special K breakfast sandwich, and yogurt (we mix your Mirilax into it).  You love strawberries, melons, sometimes grapes and blueberries.  About a week ago we made a Green Monster Smoothie with grapes, kiwi, strawberries, yogurt, spinach and you really liked it! That same day I also made some broccoli cheese soup, you devoured it too (with a grilled cheese).  You of course still love your mac n cheese and any pasta really.  It's easier and easier to feed you, thank goodness.

The other day I gave you your first corn dog, and you were gnawing on the stick and looked at me and said "Is this a hot dog bone?"..you are SO funny, even when you aren't trying to be.

You are such a sensitive sweet little soul, you seriously almost bring me to tears sometimes with how purely thoughtful and kind and loving you are.  I have a million examples, but most recently (yesterday), I was trying to talk you into getting in your carseat and I got a little stern with you, finally you got in and said "I want to go watch TV in mommy and daddy's bed (a favorite of yours), would that make you happy, mama?".  I just melted.  Of course you said it because I wasn't acting very happy at the moment.  But, awwww so sweet. Then later in the evening I was again a little frustrated with your refusal to put your jammies on, and then you did and said "Are you happy mama?".  Melts my heart.  Then we do a game of "I love you to the moon and back", "I love you MORE", and so on.

You're fully potty trained, you aren't poop trained.  You just WONT do it!  But, about a week ago we stopped putting you in pull-ups overnight and you have done great.

We try to do fun stuff all the time. Zoo for Halloween was a hit, you dressed in last years costume. This year you were a Lion.

Speaking of Lions, I think you've watched Lion King every day for a month.. thankfully (now that we both have the whole thing memorized), you've moved on to Madagascar.  I can't wait to take you to your first movie, sometime soon!!

Your talking skills and intelligence of the world around you astound me every day.  I'm at a loss for good examples but sometimes I just sit there after you say something and go "Seriously!?" and you say "Seriously.".

You pretend to be Bailey all the time (from the movie Bailey the Lost Puppy).  All. the. time. It's so cute.  You love playing in the basement and pretending to be Bailey, running around with Oma as she pretends to be a 'naughty dog', it's hilarious.

You're not napping anymore! That happened about 2 months ago.  Sometimes (if you wake really early) you do need a little snooze, but otherwise you really do great as long as we give you some quiet time.  You sleep from around 8:30-7ish, all night long (finally).

I have to go get ready for work.  Your daddy will hang out with you all day, I'm so happy you get the time with him on Wednesdays that you do, you adore your daddy.

I love you baby (to which you would say "I mean big boy"), and yes, you're a big boy.. stop getting big so fast!! (to which you say, "I'm growing, mama").  I know... slow down.

Love you more than I could ever describe,

Mommy
