3 years old

On August 10th, Nixon turned three. We celebrated his special day @ Chuck E cheese. He is SO big, and SO grown up. Which makes me happy & sad (only because I miss my little baby). I'm honored to be his mom, and incredibly lucky to have such a charismatic and full of life boy. He is all boy, and rarely afraid of anything--which often results in injury and visits to St. Petes & his Dentist.

Nixon enjoys being a copy cat, as all kids do. These are some of things he's been saying lately--phrases that remind me just how grown up he is.

"Mom, I'm a growing boy you know"

"Get out! I need my privacies" (said from his personal bathroom)

"I sure did have a good time with you today"

"I'm getting strong just like my dad"

"Sleep tight guys (to me & Norm), and don't let those bed bugs bite"

"Shoe you fly, don't you bother meeee"

"Are we going back to our Captain house soon" (about our cabin, in skykomish)

"Ughhhhh, then your not gonna be my best friend anymore then"

"But I just wanna watch Mickey for a second mom, just 1 second"

"But we don't say F*ck, cause that's a bad word. We onee say Gosh darnit" (That's right son!)

I love my Nixon, and I'm very proud of the 3 year old that he is. I know he will only get smarter, kinder, and more handsome each year, and that is something to be grateful for.
