THREE

I feel so blessed to have spent nearly every single day with my sweet son for the last 3 years!! They have been the best of my life and have flown by in the blink of an eye.

The little handsome chubster from years ago is doing such big grown up boy things: playing soccer, going to preschool, choosing his wardrobe, saying his own prayers, sleeping in a big boy room, helping out pregnant Mommy and preparing for baby sister! Dallen has the greatest little Dallen-isms that are just his personality all wrapped up in cuteness. He picks up on things that his Mommy and Daddy say and sometimes uses them in a totally different context. He says things like "I'm so serious" and "that doesn't make sense". My favorite is what he says when his pants are falling down "my bum is cracking"!!! Hahaha. Dallen always asks to do things "five times". There are so many things that I always want to remember about Dallen at this age. He is such a sweetheart and always telling me he loves me. He loves to cuddle at night in his big boy bed, and I am so happy to oblige. I just soak up every tender moment with that growing boy. He is such a perfectionist, almost OCD and loves to do things his way. Dallen talks in his sleep and its hilarious, except for when he's had a bad dream, he is scared of bears in his room ;) He is so independent and very opinionated. He tells me "say THIS Mom, ok?" and tells me how to cheer for him at sports and reminds to tell him "good job" and reminds Dad with things like "say thank you to Mom for dinner". He is a charmer and loves the ladies!! He has the most adorable swagger when he walks. He is so athletic and loves sports!! I love this age, it is so fun!! I just love this little boy and all that personality packed into a little 3 year old :)
Dearest Dallen, I hope you always know how much you are loved!! I hope you always stay as sweet and special as you are right now. I am so grateful that you were sent to me straight from heaven 3 years ago! You have forever changed my life for the better and I love you more than you will ever know!! Happy birthday son :) Love- Mommy
