You turned three years old today. Does that mean that the terrible twos are officially over? I really hope so because our recycle bins are always overflowing with booze bottles and the neighbors are starting to talk about your Mama! No seriously, it wasn't that bad but I will fess up that in addition to some of the happiest moments of my life this year also brought some of the most frustrating moments. The whining, the defiance, the temper tantrums—you certainly lived up to the legend of the terrible twos! And at the same time you surprised me with how gentle, smart, funny and kind a two-year-old can be!Your personality is budding and it's so cool to see the person you're becoming. I not only love you as my child but I really like you as a person. You're easy to like—even when you're being a total pain in the ass! It's funny, sometime this year I stopped watching you and starting "hanging" out with you. I enjoy your company. We have actual conversations now and you talk and talk and talk—I'm afraid you got that trait from me! Actually, you are a lot like me. You're super sensitive. You're a touch obsessive-compulsive. You're a bit of a big mouth. You're silly to the core.
You are my best friend, my favorite lunch date and the funniest little person I know! I can't wait to see what this next year has in store! Happy birthday little guy. I love you.
All my love,
Mama

Super cute. What a smart idea to mark every birthday! I wish I had done that but I am lazy, scatter-brained and terrible at commitment.
Yeah, it's a big commitment. He better appreciate it when he's older!
Coleen, you are so damn creative! You kill me!!! You JUST KILL ME! Sooo happy to see your babies grow and LOVE how you cherish every moment...even the crazed, must have a stiff drink to survive ones! My babies are 19 and 22 and altho I would LOVE to go back and do it all over again, to have them as my friends, and know that they WANT to hang out with ME is more precious than I can ever explain. You are absolutely on the right track and I feel so blessed to be along for the ride. Love ya girl. You make being a Mom look easy and SO MUCH FUN! Miss you, Kat :)
