Today You Are 3!

What a year this has been for you! You have now been an English lad more than half of your sweet little life. You sound as if you belong right here and I love listening to you say he-yah and they-yah. I want to always remember the way you wake up each and every morning saying the exact same thing, Mommy, what hab dinner? This means what are you serving for breakfast and I am ready for it right now. I want to always remember the passion and spirit that you possess for everything that you do, even though it has caused every single hair on my head to turn white! I want to remember the way you like to tidy up and put things in the exact same place where you found them, not sure where this OCD behaviour comes from! I want to remember the way you look up to G and emulate all that he does. As of late, it has been repeating skills from baseball season including batting techniques, you know to bend your knees, find your power line, and you know to look to Denny Doyle for pointers. You are learning to hold your own with B as he has grown and gets in the mix with you and G. You have the right idea wearing the helmet as in this photo to keep B from pulling out your every last hair. You two are quite a pair! You invariably have a twinkle in your eye, sometimes mischievous, always lovable! You are a bright and shining light in our lives and you truly keep us laughing from sun up to sun down, each and every day. You bring so much liveliness and happiness and wonder and joy to our family! Happy 3rd birthday precious one!

What a lovely description of Sloan. This blog entry will be something he will always have to fall back on as a part of your wonderful nurturing role. You certainly have him pegged! He is truly a joy! Happy birthday, S. We love you, Mimi and Papaw
