Happy 3rd birthday Jackson!

Dear Jackson,
Where has time gone? Can you please stop growing up so fast? Today, you turned 3 years old. That means that 3 years ago I got to meet your precious little face and I haven't stopping loving on you since. You are literally the love of my life (along with Campbell!, oh...and daddy too). There is just something so special about you that I just cant explain to anyone. I know all parents say that their children are smart but my golly, you are a smart cookie! You don't let me forget anything, you can give my directions to anywhere that we have been before and you have a crazy memory. Like, nothing gets past you!

I'm SO proud of you and I love showing you off. At school, you are known as the "best dressed" kid. I hear it every time that I pick you up from all the teachers, not just your teachers. This makes me so happy! You are just so cute in your polo's  and TOMS that I just cant get enough of them! You don't even know what tacky is...you tell me what TOMS go with what outfit and you always pick your Sperry's for the outfits that they go with. I think you will always be a great dresser. You have even learned to ask me "do I look handsome?" That's because mommy always tells you that you are handsome!

Allot of big milestones happened this year: You sleep in your queen bed with no rails, left handed for sure, potty trained (not at night), you can swim and haven't used a floatie in 6 months, you can ride your bike (with training wheels), you can officially do "hook em" with your fingers AND you became a Big Brother to your sister Campbell. I wish I could brag on your brothering skills, but I can't. You really do love your sister but there is still some major jealousy, attention deprived something going on! You just love stealing all the attention from her and you love to hit and poke her. She will get your back pretty soon I can assure you.

You ADORE daddy and always pick him over me. I know you just do it to get a rise out of me. That's how smart you are! You are extremely stubborn that it drives mom and dad to craziness. Sometimes we just don't know what to do with you. Time out means absolutely nothing to you. You will literally come out of timeout and do the exact same thing that put you in timeout. You little stinker. It really does makes me crazy. You are the official "staller" at bedtime. Its literally a 30 minute fiasco every night. Its always something....more water, more books, snuggle time, tuck my "guys" in", prayers etc.... I could go on!

All in all you are the most wonderful thing that could have ever happened to your daddy and I. We would do anything to make you smile and to hear your contagious laugh. I can't express my love to you little man! Just thinking about you makes my heart full. I can't imagine  our life without your crazy self. You are so extremely blessed that you just don't even know it! Thank you for the most amazing 3 years. Daddy and I are over the moon about you and your sister. We love you J!

Love, Mom and Dad
