I can't believe my baby is 3.  Those three years went by way too fast.   But three is fun.  Three is challenging.  Three brings potty training.  And "why"?  Three brings lots of testing of boundaries, lots of re-directing, lots of forgiving and peace-making and giggles.  Lots of chatter.  Lots of exploring.  Lots of "I do it myself!"  Lots of feeding the dog from the table.  Lots of swinging on swings and making new friends.  Lots of hugs and kisses.  Lots of climbing.  Lots of independence.  Lots of love.

If three looks like this, then I love it already.

    He certainly is one handsome kid! Enjoy the wonderful 3s. They’ve always been my favorite … the “terrible” kicks in with 4s in this house ;).

    I absolutely adore the picture of Derek and Samuel’s hands making “3!” That one needs to go in a frame!

    These photos are amazing. I’ve seen all of those “faces”. What a joy to have a capture of this stage of his life. My favorite: the mischievous one that is the third from the bottom. That’s his, “I did it, but don’t you think I’m so cute?” face. ADORABLE.
