Dearest Evan, You're THREE years old!

My sweet boy Evan Francis Thrall,  (You say your full name just the cutest, I need to video that!)

You have been 2 and 3/4 long enough, and it has been a whole month since your friend's birthday party, I can't wait to celebrate today at your family party you actually being 3!

You are one very adventurous, creative, independent but lately still cuddly boy!  You love your brother so so much and the two of you really have become such pals and equals... Well, you may beat out your brother in some ways, but shhhh, we won't tell him that yet.  You know all the rules, but love to bend and twist them... but also love keeping your friends safe and announce to Daddy every night he gets home from work.. "Daddy, I didn't bit any friends at childcare today"  (And you haven't in many many months... it is just your routine greeting!)

We have had many adventures the last few months from a family vacation in Arizona.  You still play "Arizona" almost everyday and want to go hiking and camping.  We have gotten in a weekly round of 9 holes of golf and though you spend time on the greens, you want to race down me and be a Crazy Driver!  You got to go to Racine for a weekend with Daddy and grandparents!

And just a week ago you were a fantastic Bubble Boy in Auntie B and Uncle Sean's wedding! This 4th of July Cabin vaca you raced in all the McKinley races, fished and swam for hours, and stayed awake til 1030 to see all the firecrackers... just like we used to call you!  You kept watching for the Packer colored ones and you wore your Packer shirts all weekend to rile up Mama's family!

Right now you love to ask, "Why that called ______?"   You want to know how everything got its name and it is seriously super thought provoking to me!  You have been a little bookworm the last few month too.  I was worried you weren't going to enjoy books the same as your brother and me, but now you'd sit for hours with us reading to you!   You are beginning to love playing games like Go Fish, Sausages, Uno, Pizza Party Dice, etc.  You have your ABC's down and your counting is entertaining every time but getting closer!

I can't get enough of our conversations, our hand holding walks, you helping me with dishes and bubbles, and cuddleys! However, I am ok with the phases of you peeing on trees, obsession with porta potties, laying on my belly and telling me I'm having a baby, or harassing your poor kittes or Croix to pass fast.

But regardless, my always baby, Evan,
We love you for all that are, and all you will become!

Momma
