It’s fun having a 3 year old!
I actually remember it being one of the hardest ages as a babysitter.
So far as a mom, its my favorite.
Campbell’s view of life makes me so happy I could cry sometimes.
He feels joy & excitement in a way that makes me want to feel it too.
Everything is new & awesome for him.
He loves his brother, his mom & “Chris”.
It has become a normal occurrence to see Campbell hug Emerson when he is fussy/sad or just because and tell him “Jesus loves you Emer.”
I mean really?! Is he trying to destroy me with his sweetness?!
He is a normal boy though & often wants his alone time.
So he locks himself in his room.
It’s really the only way to keep Emerson out of his business.
His imagination is totally coming to life & so much fun to “watch”.
He’s a singer & a dancer.
If the song has lots of Oh’s, Yeah’s, or Whoa’s you can bet its one of his favorites.
When he’s really really loving something, he’ll dance.
Like while eating dinner at the table.
He just can’t help but shake his little bum….
which is the cutest one.
Ask him, he’ll tell you so.
This year I decided to start a little birthday questionnaire.
I asked him each question a couple times over few days because I knew sometimes he was just being a little weirdo and saying the first thing he thought of

Daniel Tigers Neighborhood
We had his party a couple days before his actual birthday.
He chose a cowboy theme & the whole menu.
We are thankful for everyone near and far that took time to show him how much he is loved.
And boy, he is loved!?
For his actual birthday we started with a childhood tradition of mine…
choosing any cereal you want for breakfast.
Lucky Charms of course.
While wearing his new fox backpack.
After nap time we met Uncle Miles & Uncle Cole at the train park.
Campbell is always wanting to ride in the cattle car.
Finally, he found a willing participant to join him.
You better believe I’m not about to crawl in there.
Next, the plan was to meet Chris & Grandma Polly at Chick-fil-A for dinner.
The plan got a little kinked after my phone died…
but we figured it out, sang to him AGAIN & then he blew out the candles one more time.
After bath time grandma read to the boys,
and just like that, the baby that made me a mommy had spent a whole day as a 3 year old.
