Almost Three, Dag-Nabbit, and Friday’s Fashion Feature

Dear Greyson,

Today you stomped around the park in your plaid boat/deck shoes, vintage inspired t-shirt and duckbilled cap, and shouted “Dag Nabbit!!” every time something didn’t go your way. I watched you and giggled a lot, my very own, just-shy-of-three little old man. Dag-Nabbit is your new saying; you learned it from Ricochet Rabbit, the sheriff in one of your favorite story books. It’s a book of your Daddy’s that has been passed to you and you love it. You appeased mom with a few pictures, but really were in no mood at all. We were in full sun, your hair is getting way too long and the pictures didn’t turn out the best, but I’ll always love them, mostly because they are of you, but also because they’ll always bring the up the Dag Nabbit memories.

It’s so hard to believe little one that in less than a week you will be three. Three years old, just where has the time gone? This last year seems to have gone by faster than the others, which leads me to believe that next year will be faster yet. You are so much fun right now (although I’ve said that at every age), you love to play ball of any type, to read stories and work puzzles, you love trucks and trains, anything that goes. You love to be outside, you love to help, you love it all. You’re so grown up and yet still so small. I cherish the moments you lay your head on my shoulder and let me rock you, the moments you give big hugs and really squeeze, the feel of your little hand in mine as we walk side by side, and yet every day as you get older those moments seem to happen less and less. I’m more proud of you, more in love with you, and happier to be your mommy each and every day.

I wonder what the three’s will bring into our world. I’m sure big exciting changes, new adventures, and lots of good times await us. I hope for you the courage, love and excitement to run full steam ahead and take three by storm as I know you will, and I’ll always be right there beside you if you need a little help.

I love you with every ounce of me.

Love,
Mommy

M.I.A.

I know, it's been awhile. (sorry)

We are all doing well, just busy as can be. Greyson is quickly closing in on three, it's hard to believe. Today I tried to think back to what I was doing 3 years ago, all I could come up with is sleeping!! I slept a lot while pregnant with him, I mean a lot!! Those were the days...

He is definitely in the middle of some super growth spurt right now, for weeks he did nothing but eat, and eat and eat. Then he'd ask for a snack! The last few days he's been sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, 13 hours at night with a nice 4 hour nap in the middle of the day sleeping!! He asks to go to bed early and just heads in for his nap. It's amazing!! I keep thinking that he'll come out of his room in the morning and be 6 feet tall!! I was really hoping that last years winter wardrobe that was just a tad too big and hardly worn at all would work again this winter, but I'm afraid that he's going to get too tall...

Other than that, not too much to report.

Disney Pictures!!

We are home from Disney, where we had a fabulous time. The weather cooperated with us - yay!! There were NO crowds to speak of, it was great. We waited no longer than just a few minutes, and most times were able to walk straight on to all the attractions. We had perfect spots right in front of the castle for the nighttime spectacular parade and the "Wishes" fireworks show! It was beautiful. We also had a great viewing spot in front of the castle for the "Dreams do come True" stage show.

AND!!! I even remembered to take lots of pictures!! So with out further adieu.... the pictures.
