Happy Birthday, Miles!

Happy birthday, Miles! We love you!

Turning 3 is kind of a big deal. You’re rapidly growing into a big boy – full of sentences, personality, ideas, and energy!  You’ve moved into the preschool styled classrooms at daycare and have really good friends. Not an evening goes by where we don’t hear a play by play oration of your and Kenric’s day.

You eat all of your vegetables so that you can “grow up to be a 6-foot 6-inch basketball superstar” just like Michael Jordan. You run drills with dad imitating Forte’s speed, Culter’s hands and Knox’s agility, complete with a one-of-a-kind endzone dance! You’d rather watch the A’s on TV over any cartoon. You are a dancing machine and mommy’s helper in the kitchen.

You are polite and love to show off your manners.  I realize these with soon disappear, but I won’t take them for granted while they last.  You give the best hugs and always make me smile.  It doesn’t matter how tough my day has been, you melt my heart without even trying!  Whether your singing Jesus Loves Me, you ABC’s, or Justin Bieber’s Baby, I giggle and pray days like these  never end! I love watching you grow up, but my heart breaks at the same time. 

It seems like yesterday that we brought you home from the hospital,
