Today, Dane, you turned three years old! Your dad and I cannot believe how simultaneously long and short the last three years with you have seemed. You are an amazing, creative, funny guy who loves to cuddle, LOVES to run, loves to explore and help mom and dad. Your favorite song right now is Somewhere Over the Rainbow, your favorite food is "hotdogs, mini pieces", and your favorite girl is Aria, of course. You're really smart, using all kinds of tools to get things done, and you love technology, be it phones, iPads or computers. You are going through a phase of pushing our limits, and while the rebellion right now is hard to deal with, we also see glimpses of the good side of it, a little boy who knows his own mind. We love the funny things you say, like calling everything "amazing!", or when you tell us specific details from things that happened days ago. You have just (at your birthday party) started to understand and initiate praying, and love reading Bible stories every day at lunch. When asked what we should name the new baby, you always say "Baby Isaac!" referring to the story of Abraham and Sarah. We love the sweet side of you, and continue to see your awareness of how you treat others growing. We went through a phase where you were kicked out of the gym childcare for weeks because you were too aggressive, and then, after the wait was over, and after MANY conversations about what behavior was okay, you've done great. Your "teachers" even compliment you on how empathetic you are toward others. We pray each day for that side of you to be developed more, and thank God for how smart and funny and curious you are naturally. We love you and look forward to another year of laughter and growth with you!
Love you,
Mom and Dad
