Happy Birthday Owen!

Dear Owen,

Today you turned 3 years old! You have been looking forward to being three for the longest time because some of your best buddies are 3. I, on the other hand, would not mind if you stopped growing up so fast. Here are some of the things you are doing right now...

- You still love Thomas and you have a ton of trains
- You love to run and are extremely active
- Soccer is your favorite sport and you would play all day if you could
- You have a great little jump shot (better than mommy) and enjoy playing basketball in the driveway
- You can finally pedal your tricycle and have started going on bike rides. In fact, you like to go as fast as you can and then you go to turn and wreck, but you get right back up on your bike and keep going
- Your favorite foods are pancakes, bananas, broccoli, pizza, hotdogs, chicken, pickles, fruit snacks, and ranch ( you put it on everything!)
- You still take an afternoon nap most days and you go to bed between 8 and 9 and sleep till around 7am
- Your favorite movie is the soccer movie
- Your favorite TV show is Caillou
- You talk ALL the time and have a huge vocabulary, however you are still hard to understand at times. You say fu*k for truck, dumb for dump (you can imagine how it sounds when you say dump truck).
- You are very attached to your blankie and still suck your thumb
- You are still in diapers, however you are starting to sit on the potty. Today you wore big boy underwear for the first time, until you had an accident in the living room.
- You are very social and will talk to anyone that will listen to you.
- You can count to 20 and say your ABCs.
- You can write your name.

I could go on and on and on about all the things you can do, but I will end there.

We are most proud of the fact that you are a sweet boy with a very big heart. You are kind and caring and not a day goes by that daddy and I don't say to each other, "He's just the greatest!" You make us so happy. We love you so much and can't wait to see all the great things you do and become!

Love,
Mommy
