Theodore saying the blessing before we ate at his party.

A couple of weeks ago, August 21st to be exact, my 3rd baby turned 3 years old.  Theodore Reece is quite the character.  After having a boy and then a girl it was so neat to have another boy, and I thought I had it all figured out.  Well, I was wrong. Theodore is the sweetest, funniest little guy but he has also been my most challenging baby yet! He started out not sleeping well, then not nursing well, then not walking until 16 and a half months old, etc etc. I could go on and on about how different he has been from our first two children, but I would hate to sound as if I am complaining.  Because even though he has been the most challenging, he has also been the funniest, the one who wants to cuddle, the bravest, the most determined.  We gave him such a big name, even though he weighed the least at birth. And he’s really living up to it.  I can’t imagine him being anyone else. I am so thankful for every crazy, stubborn thing he does. I know there are families who don’t get to celebrate their child’s 3rd birthday and so I thank God for him everyday.

Blowing out the #3 candle!

And this is how you will usually find him…Daniel Boone hat, camouflage boots (3 sizes too big), enjoying an ice cream cone outside.
