Slow down, October!

Today is October 16?  My favorite month is slipping by way too quickly.  We've been having gorgeous weather in the PNW, I believe the high today is 66.  No end in sight with the sun either, sunshine for the (at least) the next 7 days.  It was beautiful like this three years ago, right before Liam was born.  I walked the lake almost every morning in the fog---just before the sun started peeking through the clouds.  Little did I know that in just a few short days my little sweet boy would make his arrival.  I was already past due, but felt like he'd never come.  It's really hard to believe three years ago I was pregnant.  In some ways it feels like a lot longer, in others it just doesn't seem possible that my "baby" is turning the big THREE on Sunday. Bittersweet for sure.  He continues to amaze me more and more everyday.  He is so smart, incredibly witty and has so much love for everyone.  He loves pancakes, all sweets and broccoli is still "too good for him" to eat.  :)  He is a huge car nut and can tell you where almost all of his cars came from/who gave certain cars to him, etc.  It's also safe to say he is a huge mamas boy.  He wants me around all of the time, freaks out when I leave him and refuses to be left with people he doesn't know---when other kids his age are happy to be left if there's a sufficient amount of toys to keep them occupied.  He refuses to talk about potty training and gets mad when I mention it.  He often says, "I don't want to wear big boy underwear because diapers are more comfortable."  And yes, he really talks like that.  He is a great talker and loves having conversations.

I wasn't planning on writing all about him but I guess it's no surprise I did.  Gotta go though, the little man is demanding more pancakes.  Happy Wednesday!
