How is it possible that my youngest grandson will be turning three this week? Wasn’t it just yesterday on that extremely cold January day that he was born? I remember the flu was particularly bad that year, and Brittany basically kept him home for the next month.
The last three years has been a series of getting to know this little one, who is so different from his older brother. While his brother loves all things tractors, the younger one is all about racey cars, as he calls them.
He was an early talker, and began expressing himself around eighteen months. He might be the younger brother, but he stands up for what he believes. Once when he was first beginning to talk I actually witnessed some verbal sparring over whether the sound we had just heard was either a truck or a car?
The older one was insistent it was a truck, while the younger one stood his ground that it was a car. I couldn’t help but laugh that day anticipating the days to come.
I must say that although this little one is all rough, and tumble, and extremely strong, you will probably not meet a more loving fellow. Between hugs and adorations of, “Mimi I love you,” this boy certainly has won my heart.
His enthusiasm for life is infectious, and he’s all about Paw Patrol and the characters from Toy Story. Left to his own devices he would probably spend way too much time in front of the tv, but thanks to his Mom he gets plenty of time outdoors.
His advanced vocabulary continually amazes me. Words like “situation,” “options,” “emergency,” and “chameleon” to name a few, are pretty common place around him. How can a two year old use these words so correctly?
It’s been fun getting to know him over the last three years, and Chuck and I were happy to see him this weekend to share a cupcake, and some “white” ice cream in anticipation of his upcoming birthday.
Happy 3rd Birthday sweet boy!
