THREE!

Ugh, my baby is three! In the last 2 months, Lionel has truly transformed from baby to boy. His transition was a little slower than Everett's because he is the youngest, but boy, is he maturing fast now! His language has exploded and he is quite a funny little thing. He is telling stories and jokes and begging for "just two more playtimes" when it is time for bed. He is definitely strong-willed, but still so very sweet. He loves his brother so much and I overheard him asking him for help to reach his water bottle in the fridge. They are finally forming a bond and it warms my heart. He is still an animal lover and currently sleeps with a turtle, a snake, and a crab. Oh, and of course, "Coggy". (We only lost one over the last year, so we have three left!) I truly enjoy spending my days with him. He plays very well by himself and loves a good episode of Scooby Doo. But the best part is his little voice every night, saying, "I love you, too, Mama". Happy Birthday, my sweet boy!
