Happy Birthday Little Man

So my little man turned 3 today (Tue - even though technically I'm typing this on Wed)...My little man is becoming a little man.

I could share stories about how he was a week late, my interesting pregnancy, the sweet/sleepy baby he was, the mischievous little boy he's become, etc... But many of you already know those stories. So instead, I'll share what my prayer is for him:

* To love and serve God his whole life.
* To be kind and compassionate
* To enjoy laughter and spread it
* To be generous and helpful
* To enjoy a close/rich relationship with his older brother
* To maintain an open and loving relationship with his parents
* That he will learn through instruction as well as experience (hopefully more the former)
* That he will learn to clean up his own room and bathroom, cook, wash his clothing and pick up after himself. (this isn't just for me, but for his future wife)
* That he'll always give great hugs.
* To get potty trained -- SOON!

Happy birthday big guy.
