Happy 3rd Birthday, Grant!!!

My baby boy is three years old today! 

 I find this young boy to be the sweetest and most tender hearted child of anyone I've known.  Ever.

It amazes me - even though he is third in line - he ALWAYS considers others before himself.  (Example: if we go through the drive thru at the bank and the teller hands him a sucker he will instantly request to take one home for his brother and sister also.  "I need one for jacky and ya-ya please.")

He is also an exceptional sharer of his belongings.  At three years old - most toddlers have the tendency to not allow others to play with their toys.  Not my grant - he will allow anyone to join in and play with his stuff.  He is so very generous.

His current obsession is a sword.  Anything and everything he owns quickly becomes a weapon of some sort.  Right now everything is a sword.  Sometimes the sword gets taken away as a result of stabbing his brother too hard.  He even sleeps in bed with a plastic pirate sword in his hand.  It's adorable!

At three years old, Grant is an exceptional talker.  He can carry on full blown conversations and can communicate his feelings very well. It's amazing how well he can verbalize.  The pediatricians usually say your youngest child will be a late talker as older siblings do all the speaking for them.  Not the case here.  He has been our best talker yet.  

I am absolutely IN LOVE with this boy.  Head over heals in love.  He is so sweet, beautiful, caring, smart and well mannered.  

I am so proud of my little three year old.  

His compassion for others is remarkable. 

He shows me affection like no other person in the world can.  Everyday he tells me "mommy, I love you the most.  I love you most, mommy!"

I know you do, buddy!  And I love you MORE than you will ever understand or could comprehend.

You are the light of my life!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Grant Lee Conger!

I love you forever,

Mom
