Happy Birthday Little Boy!

Jotham, 
We have had such a full year since last year when you turned two. So much has happened this year and none of it like we thought it would, but you have been our joy and light through it all. You are such a sweet, thoughtful, caring little boy  and you mean the world to us. We are so blessed to get to be your mommy and daddy, and we thank God for the wonderful gift He gave us in you. Happy birthday sweet boy!

Here are a few things you love doing, have learned recently or just other fun random facts about you:
* You most often call us Mom and Dad
* You know most of your letters and can identify them
* You can count to 10
* You are in underwear all the time now (and have been for a while)
* You like to pretend to snore when we put you in bed
* You like to jump off things (the curb, or couch)
* You love going swimming each week
* You keep getting better with sports
* You are great at putting your lego toys together, and building new things
* You give the best cuddles right when we need them
* You love doing art of any kind
* You love going to music class, toddler time, clubs and sunday school
* You love getting to play with your friends
* You've started saying, "I love you guys too" 
*According to the Wii fit your weight changes all the time but is somewhere around 13kg. It was 28.09 pounds the last time we were at the family center, we'll try to check it on Monday
*You love playing outside
* You love reading books, "Blue Goose" is one of your recent favourites
* "The lost sheep" is still you favourite Bible story
* You have naps some day and others we just do quiet time
* You know big words such as "episode", "organize" and "talkulator" (which is a calculator on the cell phone)
* You like to pray before bedtime and naptime
* You have a great imagination
* You love to make up stories and songs
* You love to tease us (like telling Grandma and Grandpa you had a cow at your party).

That's what we can think of right now. We have so much fun playing with you and watching you learn new things. We're excited to see all the things you'll learn this next year. We love you so much. 
Love, Mommy and Daddy

PS. You may as well learn now that although Auntie Crystal thinks about you on every birthday, she may not always remember to send you a present in time. ;)
