A Letter To My 3 Year Old Son

Dear Baby Kev,

Oh my Boo Bear, this year was nothing like I expected. You had to grow up a little faster at the beginning of the year due to my strokes. You learned how to get in and out of the car by yourself and I couldn’t hold you as much. But, we found our way around it. You would curl up in my lap on the floor when I couldn’t lift you, and you were such a quick learner. Your vocabulary has grown so much in the past year. You are incredibly loving and sweet. You are all-boy, love to play outside, and can’t have enough balls to throw around. You are so fun. 

You and your sister have become best friends. I love watching you two imaginative play around the house for hours. You take up for each other, play with each other and love each other immensely. I just want to freeze those moments in time. I cherish every second of seeing your bond grow with each other.

You are strong willed, but would do anything to make me smile (and I know exactly who you got that from). You love waking me up with kisses and asking for yo-yo (yogurt).You started your twos with a little bit of a temper, but are ending it doing much better at listening. You LOVE doing anything outside and want to play all the time. You love “comfy” clothes and building with blocks. You potty trained like a champ this year and I couldn’t have been more relieved. 

I’ll never forget how fiercely you love me, how sweet your kisses are, and your love of chick-fil-a, m&ms and milky. You are currently memorizing the Lord’s Prayer and make me so proud. Your smile lights up the whole room and melts my heart. You get so excited when Daddy gets home from work and can’t wait to play. You love following Daddy around and want to be with the boys when they go outside.

We are heading into “threes” and I can’t wait to watch you grow and continue to become more independent. Every day with you is such a gift. You are truly loved and treasured my little man. Happy 3rd Birthday!!

I love you SO MUCH,

Mommy

  • #ad Backyard BBQs are my favorite excuse to slow down, eat good food, and spend time with family ☀️🍗

This setup came together SO easily thanks to @SoloCup products — sturdy cups, dependable plates, and way less stress when hosting 🙌🏻

Hosting tip: keep the menu simple, make the setup fun, and use products that can actually handle a full plate of BBQ (& make clean up a breeze!) 😂

Menu tonight:
✨ Bacon wrapped BBQ chicken skewers
✨ Potato salad
✨ Chips + pickles
✨ Rolls
✨ Pink lemonade

Now who’s bringing dessert? 👀

  • What I served vs. What actually got eaten 💙❤️ #ad #OceanSprayPartner

I put together the cutest little summer snack board! Everything was festive and styled in red, white, & blue for the summer holidays & the @oceansprayinc Fireworks Cranberry Mix from @samsclub was hands down THE FAVORITE! 💥

It has Craisins® Dried Cranberries + popping candy clusters that make every bite feel like a celebration. 🎉 Everyone kept coming back for them, kids and adults. It was gone every time I turned around. This is staying in my rotation all summer for BBQs, pool days, all the hosting moments.
