Rhett is 3!

 Our sweet number 3 is 3!

A few things about our littlest boy...

*Rhett is very verbally affectionate and it melts me.  He will randomly say, "You're the best mommy in the woo-ld (world)" and  "I love you so much."

*On that same note, he is also in a really grateful phase.  Several times a day he will ask me, "Who got me this?" It could be his underwear, a shirt, a toy, or a book.  When I tell him who got it for him he says, "Thank you! I love it!"  I feel like I am reminding the kids 100 times a day to have a grateful heart, so this makes me very happy. :)

*He is so funny!  When I ask him to do something, he often says, "Okay shooga (sugar)!"  I have no idea where he got that, but it cracks me up!

*Rhett always wants to be near me.  He still isn't great about playing independently or even with his siblings sometimes.  He also wants to be near me in the middle of the night.  At some point almost every night he comes into our room and wants me to come lay with him in his bed.  By child number 3 I know this is just a phase, so we are going with it. :)

*He loves Wild Kratts, horses, bulls, and snacks of all kinds.

*Rhett has such a raspy little voice that I love.

*Perry Frances Lodde is without a doubt his favorite person in the world.  No question.
