Sweet Cole

Sweet Cole,

It’s been way to long since I have done a post about just you. Life has been busy but don’t worry I remember just about everything…a trait you seem to have gotten from me. I swear I tell you once and you remember it. Well kid you turn 3 very soon, I like to say your 2 turning 12. You are a little man with such an amazing personality. I don’t know a more outgoing and outspoken little 2 year old. I hate to use the word advanced cause that makes me feel like I’m a bragging mama but it’s the truth. From an early age something clicked when it came to speaking, and nothing has slowed you down. You understand things and say things no kid your age should. Your dad and me always look at each other like is this kid for real! You are hilarious and you know it! You are not scared to talk to anyone at any time. 

Your imagination is unreal right now. Whenever we have play time these days we are taking are trains to the aquarium where you then tell me all the sharks and fish we see. Then it’s off to the Air and space museum to see planes and rocket ships. We always stop for food along the way, you make us both ice cream with green gummy bears and toppings.This age is so fun stinking fun. 

You are very proud to be a big brother, I can’t lie it took you about six weeks to adjust and realize everything was OK and that Emery is pretty awesome. You still talk about me going to the hospital every now and then. You were not a fan of mama being there. You include Emery in everything you do…You say “ Emery see “ about 30 times a day. 

You love love love your friends. You talk about Austin, Reese and Bryce all the time. “ Mom there my best friends, I love them.” It’s so sweet and nothing makes you happier than being able to play with them every day. 

Of course it’s not always rainbows and puppy dogs, you do have tantrums thankfully not to many these days but they happen. Your Mr. Independent and don’t like not getting your way all the time. The best is when you try to bargain with me. “ Few more minutes mom, ok? Sounds like a good plan right?” It takes everything in me not to laugh when your bargaining with me. 

You seem to be making the transition to no more naps. You still have quiet time on the days you decide not to nap. This week we are starting potty training, I'm really hoping it goes well. All this grown up stuff is making me one sappy mama. 

You are a big boy now but you will ALWAYS be my baby. I love you Cole!

Xoxo, 

Mama
