We started Jed's third year by moving him many miles away from the only home he had even known. I was apprehensive about how he would take the move, but he didn't even skip a beat. He even "helped" us pack our things! :)
I know other parents will probably agree with me, but the time from 2years to the 3years brings about so many changes in a kiddo. We saw him go from being our baby, to being a little boy. When we left San Antonio, this boy loved all things Elmo/Sesame St. He is now obsessed with all things train, cars(the movie) and TS3.
He had his first day of school. In fact, we just wrapped up school for the summer. He did SO WELL! I know he is like his mama, energized by being with people.
His imagination has grown so much this year. He makes up all sorts of games, like the pillow jail game that we still play all the time. He assigns characters to Joe David and I all the time, constantly pretending.
I just had to include this picture because I think he looks so handsome and serious.
This was also the first year that he fully enjoyed all the holidays. We still have rudolph and thegrinch on our dvr.
We received an awesome visit with our friends from SA, the Lewis'. Can't wait until they come back again!
He has also turned into a water-lover! We are finally getting to enjoy our pool as the weather heats up. If you are looking for us this summer, you will probably find us here!
Just a few pictures of his TS3 obsession. It's not as strong these days!
He loved to re-enact two major scenes from the movie - the train scene at the beginning and when Andy gives up his toys to Bonnie. He made me tear up on multiple ocassions because that ending is really sad, and I couldn't help but reflect on when he would be old enough to leave me and go to college!
He also enjoyed multiple snowfalls - definitely not something we would have seen in SA!
Just making a silly face...
He's loved being around all his new friends.
He's LOVED having a big backyard in which he can run around and play.
We miss our old park in SA, but we have found many suitable alternatives!
I'm trying to get some good 3year photos of him and will write more about "Jed at 3 years" later. There are things I don't want to forget about how sweet he is right now!
