My middle guy is 3 today!

Crazy how time flys..."They" warned me, but you just can't comprehend how fast the years go until you have children and watch them count away their precious years (in my 5 1/2 year olds case, almost daily as he approaches 6). SO Malachi is 3 today. WOW, I feel like I "missed" this last year of his life with having a baby at the start of it. I had Josiah all to myself when he was 2 going on 3....a very wild year...so different did Malachi have it sharing with older brother AND younger brother. But we made it!! Let's see, can I recap his last year? Right at the start of it he got glasses. 2 weeks into it, he had a little brother born. What a way to start! Then he lost his room and started sharing with Big brother. That was a challenge!! He still at this point couldn't have milk, dairy, egg or peanut, so basically, he couldn't eat anything "fun". What a trooper!! Some fun things happend in the spring though! He was then able to eat ANYTHING - had no reactions to ANYTHING! That was huge and we probably hit the ice cream place a little bit too often, but we had to make up for it!! Then on June 1st, he let me know that he wasn't going to wear diapers anymore. He really didn't want to wear underware either, but I talked him into it. He basically potty trained that very week...there were accidents of course, but boy was that easy!!  He had a great summer playing outside alot with Josiah and finding his place in "the middle". He started "tot" school in September where he gets to be with other friends his age and we celebrated with them as well as lifegroup friends at Chuck E Cheese for his birthday. He loves Doc Hudson, Buses, animals (Loves his pillow pet), reading books and singing. He moved up to the 3's room at church and LOVES song time.  His loves playing with Josh at MOPS setup and talks about Marshall all the time (although when they are together they don't really play together!) He loves going to the farm and playing with Gramma and Papa. He loves his brothers - playing with Josiah is probably the best part of his day - too bad fighting with him is probably the biggest part of his day! He tries to tackle Judah quite a bit (Judah's going to be one tough kid!). He loves wrestling with Dad and brothers and watching football with all the guys! What an amazing little man - we love him so much and pray the best for this next year!
