my little mr. breck..
you turned 3 this week. wow, it's hard to believe you've been a part of my life for that long. and yet, it's hard to remember what it was like without you. these are a few things i want to remember about you at this age right now.
*right now you are my baseball man. your favorite birthday gift was a pair of baseball pants. you would wear them for days without ever taking them off if we let you.
*you are constantly telling me "see mom, i so big." and trying to do everything yourself.
*you are getting more daring. you love to jump off anything/everything.
*lately you come up to me out of the blue, put your arms around me, give me a kiss and tell me you love me. i love that.
*you love to wear pants. it has been somewhat of a struggle to get you in shorts this summer!
*you HAVE to have socks on. and shoes. (definitely take after your daddy with that one.)
*you love to be outside! whether it's working with your dad, digging in the dirt, going on walks, running through mud puddles, playing in the rain, collecting and/or smashing bugs or of course playing ball.
*you love that little brother of yours. sometimes a little too much. and he loves you back. both of your faces light up when you see each other. i hope you guys will always be best buds.
*you ask questions all day long. mostly about what bugs, frogs, cows, etc eat. when we ask what do breck's eat you always reply pizza.
*you are and have always been obsessed with anything to do with balls and sports. you have been throwing a ball since you could sit up. you will play ball for as long as you can get someone to catch or pitch to you. (you can always get your papa's and uncles to play)
*you love when we sing. your favorite song is i like to look for rainbows. you can sing both verses.
*you love your "crazy uncle boys" lately you call chance, chancy-pants:)
*your very favorite color is green. yellow comes in second though.
*you have been such a fun little guy to have in our family. i truly see you as one of my best little friends.
we have our disagreements. (we are both too stubborn.) but i would never trade you for anything in the world. you are my handsomest blond hair blue eyed boy. i love you too much and the most. xxoo mom

14/31 i was sick yesterday. so to keep breck somewhat occupied, i turned him loose with my camera. he took many, many pictures. i think this one is my favorite.

13/31 while washing vegetables for dinner, i dropped a tomato. merrik made a beeline for it and began to gnaw at it. as i was trying to get a picture he kept scooting away and grunting, thinking i was trying to get it back. he ate it for a while, then destroyed it! he loved it! (and don't worry, the tomato was clean, and the floors had just been mopped!)

12/31 enjoying the beautiful weather, family and yummy sorbet at paul and celeste's reception.
and sharing.
