Happy Birthday to my Baby!

Harper is three. I can't believe it! It seems like just yesterday that he was born.

He is such a smart little boy... and I'm not saying that because I'm biased... it's just true! He reads so many words and he loves to make up stories about Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends. He will also say the craziest most clever things that make me roll with laughter. His favorite books right now are 'The Giving Tree', 'I Think My Dog May Be a Genius', 'Horton Hatches the Egg' and 'Thomas-saurus Rex'. He could quote entire passages of these books to you if you asked.

His best friend is Jack. They will run and run until Mimi is dizzy. Together or alone, he loves to play in the backyard and have numerous adventures on his swingset. He's really into digging (which you think would be a problem, but by having my weeds treated, I've lost all semblance of grass because it was crab grass. lol).

He's also super sweet and snuggly. I'm a very spoiled Mommy to have such a loving child. He runs up and squeezes my leg so hard and says "I love you SOOO much, Mommy!" He has figured out that in order to get me to stay longer in the mornings, he just has to say, "Mommy, I need a hug!" or "Mommy, I need a kiss!" He likes to drink chocolate milk and watch Tigger and Pooh in my bed after he wakes up in the morning. My favorite part of the whole day. ;)

There are mood swings, but that's to be expected. I chalk everything up to growing pains. He's testing his boundaries. In typical fashion, when he's sweet he's super sweet, but when he's bad, he's bad.

I don't care, though. He's my angel sent to me from Heaven above. Just ask him... He'll tell you, God picked him out just for Mommy and Mommy just for him.

Happy Birthday My Love!
