It was exactly a month ago today that Kyle turned 3. I can’t help but be a little sad at how fast my kids are growing up. They are so big now! I love that they play so well together and can do so much on their own but at the same time I want to freeze all my hugs and kisses, all my squeezes and loves before they get too big.

Kyle is such a blessing to our family. Ben says all the time that Kyle was made for me (due to my need of hugs and kisses). He really completes our family. I often can’t help myself from saying multiple times a day just how cute he is and how I can’t handle his cuteness. His little voice coupled with his personality and his little body just make him the cutest boy I have ever seen. On his birthday he kept saying, “Thank you mommy. I so happy. Thank you for giving me a birthday.” Talk about melting my heart!

Kyle is very sensitive. He can often tell when I need a hug and comes and gives one to me.

He loves to wrestle and play fight. ALWAYS!

His dad is his “big dominator” and his favorite person in the world.

He loves Angry Birds and Buzz Lightyear

His best friend is Bradford Wagenman

He eats all day long. His favorite food is probably fruit snacks, although there are many foods he loves.

He loves playing with his big sister and will usually play whatever she wants to play.

He still takes naps (most days at least).

He still sucks a binkie at night.

He is potty training right now and doing a great job.

He plays great by himself but also loves playing with friends. He gets along really well with other people.

He is great at puzzles and playing catch.

He still has his curls. (Although fewer now that he got another hair cut from daddy.)

He is as good at speaking as Hallie. Which is really surprising due to the fact that he didn’t start talking until he was 2. He doesn’t stop talking actually.

He loves to pick out his clothes each day. It determines what he is that day. If he wears a shirt with a monster on it then he is a monster that day. If he wears a basketball shirt he is a basketball player, etc.

He can’t go to sleep without Hallie in the room and he can’t not wake her up when he wakes up.

He goes back and forth between being brave and being scared. You just never know which he will be with each activity.

His song of choice when going to bed is “the Rabbit song” (There was a little house in the middle of the woods…”

That night we had his best friend Bradford’s family over for cake and ice cream. We are really going to miss the Wagenman’s! Kyle is going to go through major Bradford withdrawals.
