Joe-Easter-3 year pics

Funny picture, he wants to climb a tree with bare feet, but not get his outfit dirty so he's barely hugging the tree and on his tip toes because the bark is hitting his feet. Lose lose situation buddy

Probably hoping there aren't any scary creatures in this long grass...or is ignoring me and Julie altogether

Joe bo bear...I haved loved watching your sweet personality come out in the past 3 years. You are such a perfect mix of me and your dad, it's crazy. My coloring, some of my looks, but most of your daddy is what people are saying. You have done so well in preschool these past few months and Miss Wendy says you are super behaved in class, but then once I get there to pick you up you like to push my buttons and tease me. You are a very sensitive boy. If Lynden gets hurt or is crying, you rush to the rescue. If Aunt Chelsea, is working at the hospital, you need to make sure she is not sick. You love me the most which is funny because you give me a run for my money all the time. You ask to cuddle and snuggle and cheeky and pokey and tiki and cheeky everyday during nap time. You made up most of these words, but I love it because it has been the same phrase for months now and you need it every nap you take. When you grow up you want to be a fireman/dump truck man/basketball player/helicopter pilot/bus driver/pilot/captain of a ship/pretty much anything where you can be in control of driving something large, with the exception of basketball. We are in the process of trying to get you to eat. It has been a slow, frustrating, yet rewarding experience. You have tried more in 3 weeks than you have in your whole life. We feel like mean parents, but you have actually liked more than you have disliked. You have my verbal stubborness and your dad's silent stubborness so it makes for quite the feisty little guy sometimes. You have my sense of being impatient and usually it's for my attention so it kicks me in the butt. You have such a good memory and sense of direction which makes for a fun car ride. You try to be a good friend and for the most part you do a great job sharing and taking turns. You adore family and are pretty devastated when we leave them or when they leave you. We love you tons sweet boy!
