THREE

Sweet Holdy Bear is three. Who can believe it, not me. For some reason this birthday has seemed like a big milestone for me. Something about transitioning from toddler to preschooler.

Holden is such a unique kid. He is so sassy and so stubborn. But he is so loving and sweet. Out of the two big boys, Holden has a much more tender heart for others. He LOVES Beau. He frequently gets in trouble for kissing Beau on the mouth. He still loves to challenge us on everything. He hates getting in trouble and going to time out. And when he does go, he frequently spirals out of control. But he is so funny and really mostly a good boy. He is the instigator in late night no-sleep play fests with Grey. He is also the early morning play instigator. Sharing a room these past few months has been challenging.

Holden is very funny to me! For example: The other day I was fussing at him for going out on the deck without me. He responded "I just want to see the world". Driving in the car: "When I was a horse I had EXTREMELY loud hooves." I asked him "Are you going to be a spooky pumpkin or a cute pumpkin for Halloween?" "The cutest pumpkin in the patch". He makes us laugh everyday.

He is doing really well at school. He goes into school everyday with no complaints. His teacher told me how sweet he is. She said she loves to talk to him privately because he always says such sweet things.

He still loves the train table, sand box, anything involving the outdoors, planes, Thomas, trains, going to the library, and playing anything with Grey.

LOVE. THIS. KID!
