He is growing up too fast!

As my baby boy approaches his 3rd birthday, I can't help but to notice that he is suddenly seeming so old to me. Suddenly, he looks old. Suddenly he is acting older. And suddenly I can trust him more. It is so strange.

Today we went to get his 3 year old photos done. It was amazing. He seemed so much older than when we went just 2 weeks ago. I could trust him to play and not run off. I could trust him to spin on the chairs without fearing that he'd fall off and crack his head open. I could trust him to not take everything off the shelves. And he looked so much older...



Today was so much fun. Justin was so well behaved. We ate pizza at the food court and Justin was in heaven. He spent the whole time watching the buses outside and thanking me for the pizza. And I told him about 20 times that he was just a great boy! He deserves to be told when he does something right and I tell him a lot lately that it is an honor to be his momma!



Was he born this way? Or did I just raise him well? I assume it is innate. But, wow, amazing that he could be so good. (Yes, he does have some bad moments. But the good outweight the bad by far!)

When he was a baby he was so good. Until the colic struck. Ugh! That was rough. But he was in pain. Of course he cried. Since then, he has had a great disposition. He is so happy most of the time. He is so easily excitable and has such a love of life. I have never seen anyone get so excited about the most little things. He is so much fun to have around. It truely has been an honor to be his momma! I just hope he isn't making up for all the grief he will be putting us through later. LOL



3 years! Wow! So much has changed in those 3 years. I have also changed so much in those 3 years. And I like to think that because Justin is such a good boy, I have changed for the better. If he had been tougher, I don't know how I would have handled this time. It has been tough enough and he's a good kid.

Justin is in My Gym. Mick & I take turns taking him to class. It is so much fun. He loves it so much. Last night Mick took him. Afterwards, it was so much fun to have Mick happily telling me all about it. Justin was so funny with so many things he said. He often makes the parents there and at music laugh very hard. The things he says are such a hoot. And last night during turtle time, Justin wanted to teach a song to everyone. Wish I could have seen it.

I love this boy! I just wish the time could go by slower. I don't want him to grow up so quickly anymore. I want to cry when I see his baby pictures!
