Well, Graham is a month from being 3 years old. And what can I say. The last 3 years have gone faster than the 3 years before that. I know I remember loving every minute of being a mom to this little guy but the details to be exact are a little hazzy. I know one thing for a fact that has always been true though...This little guy loves his dad! If his dad was around 24/7 he wouldn't know his mom even existed. He sits by his dad in church, He wants his dad to put his cloths on, he wants his dad to get him his sippy. He loves His dad!
Also, he Graham has this wonderful habit of rubbing his "bet,bet." Let me explain what his bet, bet is! It is his belly button. I don't remember when he started this habit exactly but he has had it for a LONG time. I drinks his sippy and rubs his belly button. He will lift up his shirt. zip down his onsie nighties, and gets really mad if you try to cover it with your hand. It is his comfort thing and no one is going to take it away :( he pulls on it, rubs it, and it is his! When he was around 2.5 years old we told him it was going to fall off and he was going to have to go to the doctor to get it fixed. He then would pull down his shirt for a few seconds but then pulled it right back up again to rub it. Oh my, I sure hope this passes, but I just tell everyone who asks about this strange habit..."just be thankful it's not a habit that is 5 inches lower!" They then don't ask anymore questions :)!!!!!
Graham is almost 3 and totally funny. I loves to tease. Ever since he could talk well, probably already at 18 months..he loves to tease. He would always call my mom, "Grandma Lori," look at her and laugh. He new sure well that her name was Myrna but he just loved to tease her. So glad my mom would laugh and then tickle him. He did this for almost a year..call her the wrong name and give her his naughty grin! Sometimes he would would accidentally say Myrna and quickly change it to Lori.....So funny to see their personalities take form and so little. He continues to love to call people by a funny name and then Laugh.
Graham also loves taking rides on the 4 wheeler. He could sit on that thing for hours. When the kids went back to school in 2015, Graham and I would get the four wheeler out and take long rides until it got to cold by October. We would ride all the way to Steve and Tonia's house and visit our good friend Graydon. He loved it on the four-wheeler..and even maybe catch a nap on it in mom's arms. He still asks to go on it often. I too, Love riding four wheeler with my kids. Love being out in the country taking in God's beautiful creating and sharing it with my kids close by.
Graham also like to try to tell me how to do my hair. He wants me to "roll it up." Everyday. This essentially means a pony tail. I think He was so used to my hair in a pony tail everyday that when I finally wore it down he did not like it. " Roll it up mom..roll it up..." Ha. I didn't think i wore a pony tail that often! :(. HA
Thomas the Train and Daniel tiger. For the beginning of age 2 we could not watch enough Thomas the Train. " There 2, there 4, there 6 , there 8." ahhhhhhhhh, Loved Thomas and new all the trains by name. Then around 2.5 years old we started wanting to watch Daniel Tiger. At the end of the song he would yell. "DANIEL TIGERS NEIGHBORHOOD." I don't know which one is better...Thomas or Daniel....NEITHER!!!! hahahahah
Graham loves to keep up with his older sister Aubyn and Older brother Trey. He tries to trudge through the grove and thick weeds just to keep up with them. Trey and Aubyn are so sweet and help him along and lets him tag along. Not to often do they complain about him. Only when Graham destucts Trey's legos...Then I hear some yelling and mom has to take care of business.
Graham is too, a bundle of joy. his big "CHEESE" when I hall out the camera is priceless. And I could get endless pictures of him wearing his orange "saftey glasses." Is this on right mom...while they are upside down breaks my heart everyday. I love this little guy! He is my Grahammy the Pooh and will always be!
