I know, from the minute he was born I should have seen this coming.
That one day he would try to put his brother in time out.
That he would tell me he needed options when I told him it was bedtime (by the way he was not happy with the options I gave him and then said he needed more).
That he would tell me that eating 3 more bites of anything was "not an option".
That he would carry on lengthy conversations with anyone who had the time.
That his hand would seem so much bigger in my hand.
That he would leave the nursery and go into the big boy class.
and that he would require his own meal at restaurants...and be able to go to restaurants...for a very short amount of time.
Of course, I should have seen this coming, that one day JD would turn three years old, but I was so caught up in loving years 1 and 2 that I forgot he would grow up into almost a little boy and no where near a baby anymore.
Thank you God for blessing Jon and I with this incredible person in our lives. I pray that we can be the examples he needs to follow You completely. I hope one day he is able to see the impact and joy he has brought to our lives and the lives of those around him.
Happy Birthday JD!
