3 1/2 Years

Jackson, you're are 3 1/2!  So close to four, and don't we all know it.  You talk constantly about your birthday, even though it is still a half of a year away.  We'll see if you still want a dinosaur birthday party before then.  Right now you want a volcano cake with dinosaurs and trees.

I googled how to do this especially for this picture, which you loved taking,



You love preschool.  The teachers often ask if you're always so quiet and polite at home.  Ha.  You a chatter-box most of the time, although yes, for the most part you are extremely polite, thoughtful, and kind.



You're by yourself at swimming class at the moment and love it.  You have more time to yourself to talk to Mrs. Diaz and show off all by yourself.  Now you constantly ask if it's a swimming day.



We're going to Sea World next week, just so you can see some elephants.  There were none at the Sacramento Zoo and you've been dying to see some.  You see the Sea World commercials and have been dying to go.  It will be so exciting for us to see how excited you are.  I can't wait for the whale & dolphin show & for us to all share some funnel cakes.  (And of course see your uncle, aunt, and cousins, which is the main reason we're going!)



You put your hand in your pocket all my yourself for this one.  Maybe you were just saving some rocks.



We have "I love you" battles.  Who loves more, and who loves the biggest.  You say you love us bigger than the universe plus the solar system.  You have us stumped a lot of the time.



You remember things from so long ago that it's crazy.  You went to monster trucks this year with daddy and you said last year everybody went, even Colby in my belly.  If we promise you something, you don't dare forget that.



You're just a joy!



And we hope you get every wish,
