Happy 3rd Birthday, Reed!

Reed, you are three years old today! I can’t believe it’s been three years since you joined our family. You bring SO much love and joy (and chaos!) to our family, and I can’t imagine life without you.

Here are some things I want to remember about you at this age:

• Whenever I ask you what you want to eat, you always answer “Geno’s pizza with ranch”
• You are in your first year of preschool and you really seem to like it.
• One evening a couple weeks ago you weren’t eating your dinner. After encouraging you for a very long time, I finally told you that you got nothing else for the rest of the night, not even apple juice. I said the only thing you could have would be water. You looked at me and said “That’s ok. I LOVE water.” Touché, little boy.
• You wake up EVERY morning at 5:15 like clock work. You come in our room and tell us “I’m not tired a bit”
• You are in a very shy stage, even with people you know. You are incredibly bashful and before a birthday party a few weeks ago, you told me “I’m not going to talk to no one.” And you didn’t.
• You think you are as big as Ava and can do everything that she does.

We just love the excitement you bring to our lives. You definitely keep us on our toes but we love your little spitfire personality! We hope you have a wonderful birthday and an awesome year ahead!
