Both of us busting up laughing.

You are joy. A smartie pants with an incredible memory. 
You play pretend baseball wherever we go. 
You want to be like your daddy and I pray the same. 
You don't like loud noises and you get frustrated when you get hurt. 
You are very concerned for your brother but don't really know how to show it except cry when you think we are leaving him or if he's breaking a rule. 
You love to tackle him and crash. We're working on it. 
You teach Bennett songs and words. Right now "Take Me Out to the Ball Game", "No!", and "Mine!". And then you guys crack up.
You always ask to walk people out to the car and you shout "I yov you, too!" when they leave. Melting.

I can't even imagine what 3 will bring. I'm loving every moment. Even the tough ones. Because it's all part of the spirited kid you are now
 and the passionate boy the Lord is shaping you to be.
Happy Birthday, Graham Thomas.
We you you.
