sweet boy.

can it really be that my biggest little is THREE today?

what?

i remember thinking "i can't wait until he's three and then we can do so many fun things together..."

i remember, when he was a baby, counting down the days. and thinking that it would never get here.

and yet, here it is.

like i've said before, i wasn't 'myself' when brady was a baby. and i didn't enjoy it. i didn't savor every single moment - like i wish i had. but i couldn't. i understand that now. it was beyond me, and that's okay.

because i am busy making up for that now.

yes, we have bad days. i mean really bad, sometimes.

and sometimes, when those bad days come in a consecutive, seemingly never-ending form, i can't wait for kindergarten. for that moment, anyways.

and then, he'll melt my heart.

like he did on tuesday. when we were meeting the hubbs to shop for a new 'baseball' shirt for b's birthday. and while we were waiting he asked to sit in the front seat with me.

after he climbed into the front seat, making him look EVER so small, he crossed his arms, sat indian-style {is that even okay to say anymore?} and said, "let's talk about, momma." {he says 'talk about' instead of just 'talk'. love it.}

tear.

i was looking back on our blog at how much he's grown this year.
