THREE!!!

It's so hard to believe, but Grant turned 3 on Tuesday! We did a special birthday party for him at school with his friends on Tuesday morning. There were about 35 kids and he was the center of attention for the day. I was so glad that we were able to do this before the baby comes. He and all of his friends really had fun and they all loved all of the balloons. I took off for the day and picked him up early from school and we spent some one-on-one time together playing outside (really I watched and Grant played). It was a beautiful day. We spent Tuesday night together as a family and gave Grant one last birthday present. It was a wonderful birthday for my little man!

Batman cake. Thanks MaMaw! Everyone loved it!

Notice Grant in the birthday hat:) All of the kids at his table are in his class. We did the party for the 2, 3 and 4 year olds at his school. I was surprised at how thankful, polite and well behaved all of the kids were!

So what is Grant like at 3 years old?

He is so loving and caring and loves playing with all of his school friends and his cousin Hannah.  He loves spending time with all of his family. He is so smart and truly amazes us with the things he says and does. He loves to sing, read books, play outside, play on the iPad and we probably let him watch TV a little more than we should.

He loves wrestling and jumping on his daddy and curling up beside me to read his bedtime story every night. He is a little defiant at times, but for the most part listens pretty well for a 3 year old. He sleeps great and will eat most anything but loves French fries, oreo cookies, and peach cups.

He uses both his left and right hand for doing things and we really haven't figured out which he is going to be yet. It is amazing how well he can throw any type of ball with his left hand...maybe we have a left handed pitcher in the works:)

He is so excited to be a big brother and I know he is going to be the best big brother ever! He loves helping do things and is so independent. I know he is going to be a great help as well as being gentle and kind with his brother.

I am so fortunate to be his momma and I love him more than I could ever say.

Happy Birthday Grant!!
