Three Years

Today is Brogan's birthday. He's THREE. I think all parents say this, but TRULY, I can't believe he's already 3. I'll post some photos from his "Construction Party" soon, but I have to get the images off my camera first. I didn't want the day to pass without acknowledging it though. At 3 Brogan is a pretty spectacular boy. Here are a few of his favorite things from A to Z: Applesauce, Batman and bowling, Construction vehicle, Dogs, Early mornings, Fish crackers, Guns and the color Green, Hammers, Ice, Jumping, Kicking, Lightning Mcqueen and Legos, Mighty Machines and movies, Nightlight (his blue truck one) and his Night-Night (green blanket he's had since birth), Oreos and the Otoscope, Puddle boots, Quality time with Daddy (since Daddy's on sabbatical, he's getting LOTS of it too), his fireman Raincoat, Swords, his Sisters and Sweedish fish, Trains and Trucks, "UP" (he has the lines memorized and fits them into every day conversations), Vehicles of any type, Winning, X marks the spot (he loves treasure hunts), Yelling (as loud as possible), and the Zoo (or at least the IDEA of the zoo).
He has a remarkable memory, loves to laugh and has the best facial expressions of any I know. He is into very specific details and pronunciation right now (it's exhausting at times). He knows what he likes (and what he doesn't like). He is snuggly and loving. He says "please" and "thank you" without prompting...most of the time. He is a candy junky and the only child we've had to date who actually sneaks treats but responds to treats as a potty training bribe (whew!).
He is the focus of much attention and love from his 2 sisters. They adore him. And he returns the devotion. We know we are fortunate to have him in our family and have enjoyed the past 3 years. We're looking forward to many many many more years watching him grow and change. We love you Brogan Connor. Happy Birthday, Boy-O.
