A Day in the Life; 3 years later.

Here he is 3 years ago; still a mystery to his parents on the person he would become. We have learned so much about him since this July day in 2010.  Each day since our love for him has grown as well as the number of grey hairs on my head. 
From when he wakes up in the morning until he reluctantly hits the sheets at night he wants to explore all life has to offer.  He is curious, energetic (is an understatement), loving, strong willed, a wonderful big brother and these days always testing the boundaries we are creating for him.   
 
Favorite Foods:  Any fruit but never grows tired of strawberries, one week he ate 4 lbs!  Would eat bacon for every meal if we allowed it.  These days the vegetables he seems to love is either green beans or a salad with poppy seed dressing.  He still won't eat potatoes unless they are in fries.  Will only eat carrots that are raw but not when they are cooked.
 
Future career:  He says he would love to be a fireman!
 
Best friends:  His best friend and partner in crime is Oxley but other friends he loves to play with are Trace, Sadie, & Lydia. 
 
Favorite color:  Blue
 
Favorite cartoons:  The Adventures of Chuck & Friends, Mickey Mouse, Jake & the Neverland Pirates, Fireman Sam or other OPB shows.
