Caden

Three years ago today my life changed forever, for the better! Three years ago today you made me a mommy. That day when I first met you and held you, I knew I was in trouble. You have my heart completely wrapped in your tiny little hands. You were such an amazing little baby, always content and such an independent little guy (you are still too independent for my liking, I want to baby you). You have grown into such a sweet little boy with the silliest little grins. You have such an amazing personality and a contagious laugh. You bring such joy and happiness into our lives. You love your brothers and try to take care of them (I have NO idea where all that bossiness comes from ;)- !).

At three years old, you are just now getting the hang of potty training and have been doing a great job this past week. Today you wore you Elmo underwear all day for the first time even when we left the house and you stayed dry all day! You love to sing and dance and you LOVE Lightening McQueen but what is new since we have been fighting that addiction since you were six months old (I have the pictures to prove it!). You always have the funniest things to say and take everything literally, just like daddy! Today I told you I was going to lock you in a cage so you wouldn't grow up and you thought I was serious. You have such a sweet heart and you give the best hugs! I wish I could keep you little like this forever but I understand you want to grow up so you can leave me and go to school like a big boy. Just understand that when you do, you will be taking my heart with you. Oh, and you can forget about riding the bus because I am so walking you in there and you are holding my hand the whole time.

2nd Birthday Party

You have grown so much little man so quick and I just can't wait to see what the future holds for you. I know God has something amazing planned for you and I pray that you keep your eyes on him and follow his path. Stay with the truth and be an example. You have your brothers watching and looking up to you, I know that is a hard position to be in but I know you will kick butt! Thank you for always loving me little man, so very unconditionally, even when I make mistakes (I'm sure I will make a whole lot more). Happy Third Birthday Caden! I love you with all of my heart!
