Well not actually until Sunday.... but I am going to try and catch up so I wanted to get his birthday post done first!
My boy is three and what a wild ride it has been!! He is truly sooo funny and super cute that I know that all of the trouble he WILL get into his charm can get him out of most of it! I pray! He is still getting plenty of discipline! Although most of the time, I am hiding my face to laugh or bitting my cheek so I have a serious look on my face! He is my snuggle bug and I am so very thankful! A lot of times it does feel like I am getting love from a bear cub! Many mornings while he drinks his cup of milk and eats his "kind"( meaning his kind- cinnamon raisin toast) bread, his tush is on my head with his legs straight up in the air! He loves to wake up to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse so it is very fitting we will be in Disney for his birthday! I think that he may truly jump out of his skin with excitement! When we talk about it, he begins to either breathe hard until he hyperventilates or begin to squeal so much that I think the windows will break!
It has been wonderful to watch a different combination of Brad and I grow and develop! He is really looks mostly like me and my people. Every Gentry that sees him immediately says that he looks like a ringer for my grandfather's baby pictures.And help us all... he has many of his traits! He is adventurous, very expressive, loud, funny, charming, loves to laugh, dramatic, loving, talkative, easy going, nimble and quick! I think he is going to miss the red hair though!
He loves Jack and emulates him as much and often as possible! He calls him "brudder" and my heart melts every time I hear it! "Brudder, where are youuuuuu?" "Brudder, I wuv you! You are the best brudder ever"! They play together always. When they do fight, it is over as quick as it began. Normally, they are giggling, wrestling, or playing some sport together!
I have tried to keep up with some of the funny/horribly embarrassing things that he has said this year:
"Momma, why can't I see my pootsies?"
" What is that man with the tail doing? " It was a Kroger worker who had a feather duster in his back pocket.
"Look at that big fatty guy" This was said to a large man only a few feet away
" Release mommy duck" What he thinks the lyrics to the song Feliz Navidad are...
"That dog is trying to eat me" When my parents dog licked him in the face
Many of my other favorites come from facial expressions that I can not do justice with words. If he is disappointed from not getting his way, the top half of his body collapses with the loudest and longest sigh. When he does come back to standing his bottom lip is so far out we could all trip! He also loves the eye roll but not always being rude. Sometimes he just likes to roll them! I have walked past him on the potty, and he is rolling them from one side to the other for his own entertainment! I just crack up all day!
If you can't tell, I am completely smitten with this little guy! I could have never believed that I would love being a mom to boys so much!
Happy Birthday sweet buddy Cole!
