HappyBirthday

Oh my little, I mean big, Nolie Cannoli, I can hardly believe another year has passed and you are 3 years old! Have I told you the day I found out I was pregnant with you, I cried. And now, and since the day you were born, you have found a place in my heart that is all yours. You make me smile! Just today you looked at me and said, mommy, I love you the mostest.....it melted me a little bit. 

At least at 2 meals a day, you say thanks mommy. You love to come and cuddle your baby brother and tell Clark how much you love him. You are so excited to meet him and to hold him. You ask to go to mommy' doctor a lot so you can hear him. I'm anxious to know how you'll actually react. 

You love playing with Madelynn and Elijah. You have a great imagination! We love to listen to you play. You make us laugh all the time. You are 

You currently love Chewbacca, Baymax (Big Hero 6), and Ninja turtles. Your favorite foods are avocado, strawberries, and chips and cheese.  You are constantly hungry.....I'm guessing growth spurt. 

Nolan, you have big things in store for you. You'll be a light to so many people. I know you'll make a lot of people smile. Always be kind to all those around you. You don't have to be best friends with everyone but you do have to be kind to everyone. That's really important. 

I love you at this age but I also look forward to seeing you grow and become the man I know you'll be. As a mom you often wonder about who your child will become, their accomplishment and their disappointment. You have such a great personality and I know you'll deal with all of life's blows.  I know there will be times that life is tough but I know you'll be able to laugh off most things. But when you can't, remember to pray! Prayer has gotten me through so many hard times, and a lot of good times too. 

I'm so glad to be your mommy. I'm glad you still ask me to cuddle and give me lots of kisses. You also let me pinch your booty a lot. You are such a fantastic little person. I love you so much. Your dad and I will always be here for you. And even more importantly, your Heavenly Father is always there for you. You have a large support system all around you. Know you can depend on us even when you disagree with us! 

You are a choice spirit of your Heavenly Father. He sent you here and wants you to be happy. I know if you do your best, you will be. 

I love you! Happy 3rd birthday! Funny enough, you try to say your 6 or a teenager. Stay little for a little bit longer.
