Adventure's In Family Land

Well my boy, you have come a long way since you're head entered this world... or I mean bum entered this world. You have become such a wonderful little boy. When I think of you I think of you're smile and the way you're eyes light up with you smile. I think of how tiny you were and how scared I was when they took you from my arms to do a spinal tap and how empty my arms and heart were as I left the hospital with you're tiny little jammies and you're empty car seat and not you. How helpless I felt. I fell in love with you that day, yeah you were 9 days old I believe if my mind serves me right. Yeah I loved you when you were born but I must admit you came so fast with so much force I didn't have time to wrap around what a majical thing it really was, and when we brought you home Korbin greeted you by throwing up, the first sign that our home had been struck by the evil stomach flu. But that day in February I really felt like my heart was breaking and made me appreciate mom in a new way. At least I got to hold you again, and watch you grow and hear you say my name. But to have a taste of that kind of pain I never want anyone to go through that.

Ok so now I'm crying and I need to move on to the good fun stuff. I love how you said, "Stop making that nose-y" instead of stop making that noise. When you say brother you roll you're 'r's so it sounds like" bwaaaver." Oh and it's the best when you think you look exceptionally good or have done something you are proud of, you shake you're hip and say, "ka chow" When you see something new that is really cool you will say, "it's amazing!" I love how you will crawl up on my lap and say, "you're the best mommy." and "I like you mama" And lets not forget my favorite sound of the day, "I had a good Na-ap!"

You are so strong will, ok I'll just say it like it is, Kane, you are stubborn. When doing a puzzle you will push and shove and cram any piece into place because you have decided it belongs there not because of shape or even color. I love that every other time you go to the bathroom you put you're undies on backwards and wrong side out. I love that you actually wore out you're yellow rain boots, literally there were holes in them and they were 2 sizes too small but the minute you woke up they were on you're feet.

You are such a good "daddy" to you're love-y, however you always think he is poopy and you ask me to babysit him a little too much;) Speaking of poopy did you know that you can make me blush faster than anyone? You will declare at random times, "I smell some-ting!" while sniffing you will look at me and say, "You tooted" you actually did that today at the pharmacy while I was waiting for a refill on you're "bree-ving treatment medicine"

I don't think I have seen a 3 year old who loves to rough house more than you do, the minute daddy gets home he puts the mail on the table and goes to our room to take off his boots and cammie's... that is if he is lucky enough to make it that far. Usually you start growing and running at him before he hits the hallway. You will wrestle for about 30 min, at which point Korbin has already cried about 3 times. You are tough as nails, and strong as an ox, and the bad part is you are starting to realize that.

You're favorite color is blue, you're favorite animal is sometimes a shark, sometimes an alligator and sometimes an elephant. You're favorite food is cheese and bread 'n' butter. You also really like to eat sour cream which you have decided is really ice cream, so bad that you now cry when we have actual ice cream b/c it is too cold. You're favorite drink is milk. When you are eating you wipe you're mouth off with you're hand in such a way that you're left cheek is ALWAYS dirty, tonight Daddy asked for a napkin and you told him, "you can use you're hand like a nat-kin" then you laughed and laughed. I love how you say Korbin, "korwin". You also helped me clean by using you're brand new toothbrushes to clean the potty, but before you cleaned you had to "fish" by digging you're toilet paper out. YUCK! You were so proud to help me, you even squirted some cetaphil soap in there.

I love you so much, Kaney-bug. I am so proud of all the things you can do and I am excited to see all the things you will do. I hope you liked you're "shark-ey" birthday party. I love you my smoopy.
