We started celebrating early. Our youngest will be three this Friday but Friday we are leaving for the beach so we had to have a party today. Jeff’s parents, his aunt, his brother, his brother’s girlfriend and my sister Ruth and her boys came over to celebrate Garrett’s life. He is the one who will melt your heart and will smile his special smile, especially if you are holding a camera. He is also the one who will hide behind his mamma’s legs when he is not ready to visit with someone. He loves play-dough, magnet-ix, bubbles, light sabers (especially the double ended red one of Darth Maul’s) and swimming pools (if mom is holding him). He is the one who, when he is uncomfortable, will ask for mom’s dee dee (my stomach). It’s his comfort. He likes to lay his head on my belly at night while putting his finger in my belly button (am I giving too much information?). He is the one who will laugh and play when Jeff plays wild games with the boys and he’ll also do his very best to keep up with his older brothers. When asked how old he is, he’ll tell you “this many” and hold up 5 or 6 fingers, depending on the day. He wants to be just like his best friends, Connor and Evan. It’s hard keeping up with a 6 and 7 year old!
Happy third birthday, Garrett. We love you so much!!
