At 3-years-old, James is 34 lbs and 39". He's a big boy with a big heart, a big vocabulary, and a big personality. He can make us laugh and he can make us crazy. His emotions swing the pendulum dramatically these days. He can run and jump and roll down hills. He glides his bike and pedals his trike. He knows his ABC's and sings a variety of preschool songs. He can draw circles and train tracks and trace his letters (though he's still not a big fan of 'seat work'). He loves school, going to the gym, swimming (well, wading more so than actually swimming) and running and playing ball ('base-ket-ball', raquetball, soccer ball), and hanging out with the great group of buddies that he calls his own (between new school friends and old school friends and our friends' kids, he is lucky to almost always have someone to play with at a moment's notice, not to mention the strong friendship he is developing with his sister). He is a social little guy, but he can play shy, and he knows just how to work his charm to get what he wants. He can be really bossy (with his friends, his 'Sissy', AND his parents), but he also listens really well (most of the time). He is quite compassionate, always showing concern and willing to help in anyway he can if someone is sad or hurt or scared. He is always happiest when outside, running free, learning and growing and exploring. He's one smart little cookie and he has a mind like a vault. The kid never forgets a thing, and he shocks us on a regular basis with the things he remembers and talks about at random times, as well as the associations he makes. He's still our little snuggler, full of love and hugs and kisses and 'I love you too's. We are SO lucky to have such an awesome son, and we know it - we love you James Henry!
