Growing Up and Growing Old Segment: Dallin's Three!

I decided that I would do a little segment each month on either growing up or growing old, I am sure that for now there will be more growing up's than growing old's...

Yesterday, March 24th our little boy turned three. I can't believe that time has gone so fast. It seems like just yesterday he was born, and now he is so full of energy and life. He is so smart too. He understands so much and says the funniest things-- like when he is driving me crazy, he will always say "You're the one that's frustrating me!"-- I wonder where he gets it?

I also noticed that he is really starting to comprehend love. Brian and I were talking about it just the other day. It's like when he says "I love you" now it is more than just words. I can feel that he knows how important we are to him and he is to us. Recently, he said to Brian and I that he wants to be in our family forever! He will also use "I miss you" as "I love you". Sometimes he will look at me with the sweetest face and say "I miss you mommy." But I know he means "I love you." I am waiting for the day when he uses those phrases and sweet face to get out of trouble...I am sure that it isn't far off. But until then, I will eat it up, knowing that my little boy is sincere and hopefully he knows I am too when I say "I love you too, buddy." Happy Birthday Dallin-Tallin Chicken!
