T is one awesome, fun, smart, energetic, independent, & handsome little boy. I was thinking today just how truly blessed I am to get to be his Momma. He loves his family. He adores his sister. He has added such life and fun to our family. T continues to have a terrific sense of humor. He just gets stuff. He tries to tell jokes, he laughs at other people's jokes, he understands when things are funny and he has the greatest giggle. He is ticklish, He is loud. He likes things his way. T learns things quickly, loves to be outside and is a homebody. A blue icee can make his day. He loves anything with a screen, and loves to help his Nana.
We couldn't be prouder of the young man T is becoming. He is a good friend to others, is learning to be a gentleman, wants to be a missionary, and gives 100% to all that he belives in. We love you to the moon & back T. You are our baby boy dream come true!
I snapped these pictures of T this week in our backyard.

Happy Birthday T, we hope all of your dreams come true!
Here's the scoop about the kiss. I really hope he doesn't find this embarassing when he's older. T was at my friend Heather's house this week when K was at school and he didn't have school on this particular day. Heather was watching another little girl (G) that afternoon. This little one is 3 years old, blond and friendly. She goes to our church, and T sees her at the weekly playgroup they go to. They were all in Heather's basement, and she was doing laundry while T & G played at their play kitchen. As T tells it, he & G were playing 'family' and he was sitting at the kitchen table, and G brought him dinner. Then T said, 'we have to kiss' to G. He said, "1, 2, 3!" and then they kissed on the lips. Then T said they had to do it again. Then Heather said that they should just hug, and not kiss anymore. :) We really tried to not make a big deal about this, but it's just too cute not to share. We've joked with the girl's'parents about it, and have decided that we are grateful that both kiddos come from happy homes that still eat dinner together!
