Happy Birthday Eli!

Eli,

Today you are 3 years old! I didn't even know it was possible for time to go by this fast. You continue to bless our lives each and every day. You have grown SO much over the last year, and have experienced so many new things. You're greatest accomplishment has been the way in which you are filling your role as big brother. You show your softest and sweetest side when it comes to your baby sister, and we are so proud of the way that you've welcomed her.

You are sweet, yet strong-willed. We pray that you will use your strong will in your later years to stand firm and tall in what you believe. But until then, we'll have to work on our patience with you :). Three is already proving to be full of many new things! Many new attitudes and many new opinions. You are often too smart for you own good, and surprise us each day on how quick you learn new things. We can't wait to see how you grow and mature as you start pre-school in the fall.

You love all sports, anything that involves construction/building things, and your love for cars/trucks/trains is still happening. You love all breakfast foods, and would eat a pb&j for every meal if we let you. You are becoming super attached to Bailey dog, and we love watching you take on little responsibilites in caring for her. You love to complete little chores around the house, and I can always count on you to help me clean. You talk all.day.long. You say and remember things that we have no idea where you heard. You don't forget anything, and hold us to our promises daily :). You are BUSY with a capital B. You go non stop until your head hits the pillow at night, and even then sometimes you keep going :).

You weigh around 30lbs, and won't stop growing like a weed!

We love you SO much, and thank the Lord each day for blessing us with such a sweet boy.
