Happy 3rd Birthday Nolan

This cute little guy is 3 years old today (i posted at Midnight it is showing the 22nd above tho). We have been so blessed to have Nolan as a part of our family, and can hardly remember what it was like before he came into our lives. He is turning into quite the little boy lately, not even much of a toddler anymore.

He has mastered how to pester his sister in the past few months, and as a parent it is extremely frustrating and funny all at once. She gives the reaction he wants every time, and no matter how many times we try to tell her to just ignore him, she still whines/cries, and then he laughs.

While he does pick on his sister, he and Rylee are best buddies most of the time. The two of them play and play together, especially while at my soccer practices. To watch their imaginations at work together, is fun and scary all at once. The two of them sure can create a little trouble together.

While we are biased, he is honestly one of the cutest boys in the world. While I am a little sad his curls got cutoff the other day, it does make him look even older with a shorter hair cut. We constantly get comments about how "pretty" he is, and one of my friends told me he is a clone of the American Girl, "Bitty Twin Boy."

For being 3 today, he is extremely whity(sp) and funny. At least 2 - 3 times a day he has me belly laughing, while I probably should be correcting whatever he just did, but really it is normally quite funny and I cannot contain myself. He is a clever little boy!

It has been really funny all day we have been telling him he is three, and he very adamantly reminds us he is not three until tomorrow! A lady at the store asked him how old he was and he answered, "Two, but I will be three tomorrow."

He is very athletic so far, and has a great left foot. He can drop kick a ball further than most five year olds, and that makes his Mommy very proud.

For some reason, he loves Batman right now. We have never watched an episode of a Batman cartoon or read Batman books, but all he wants for Christmas is the "Big Batman Toy" and other Batman stuff. I think his cousin Lukey got him hooked on Batman this Summer, but it is pretty cute. He has two Batman shirts and a Batman hoodie and wants to wear them everyday.

Another trait of Nolan's right now is he definitely inherited the Campbell temper, it totally skips a generation :)! I may have a bit of a short fuse, and sadly Nolan has definitely inherited that from my side of the family. We are working on it, but man does he get mad quickly.

I have to admit he is definitely a Mama's boy, and I love every second of it. That little boy has me wrapped around every finger, and I am a total sucker for him. He tries to rope me into sleeping in his bed every night, more songs at bed time, a treat at the grocery store, another cartoon, you name it and he tries to get it. The good thing is I do say no on occasion, but really it is hard.

We are almost 100% potty trained. He has an occasional accident, like one every couple of weeks, but I am not confident to say it is a done thing yet, it is still a bit of a work in progress, but he is close!

We are so blessed and lucky to have Nolan as a part of our family. He is such a sweet boy and he brings so much happiness into our home. He has a very tender heart and gets his little feelings hurt or embarrassed easily, and I love that about him. I am honored to be raising him, and I am so excited to see all of his development in the next year.
