the BIG 3

Dear Brody, our little buddy...

It seems like yesterday the nurse handed me to you and you made a little grunt noise and I saw your cute dimples for the first time. You were a meer 7 lbs 12 oz...and I'm pretty sure your head weighed at least 3 lbs! I was instantly amazed with you- and that hasn't changed ONE bit. Your Poppi was quite fond of you too- and that hasn't changed ONE bit either. Here are a few things that your 3 year old self can do:
1. Cartwheel...running or standing.
2. Air Guitar with head bang. (Yes, it looks as rad as it sounds.)
3. Skateboard- which is actually a 180 spin jump off the couch and landing it on both feet on the floor. Sometimes you make the full 360...but it usually results in a face plant into the carpet.
4. Potty Trained with no accidents at night. You even wake up and go if needs be.
5. Ride a bike (with training wheels)
6. Use a computer...the mouse pad, the arrow keys, and finding Mickey Mouse or Curious George online.
7. Manuever through an I-pod like nobody's business.
8. Puzzles.
9. Dancing- you have got some wicked crazy moves.
10. Baseball, soccer, frisbee, football, and wrestling. You can hit a ball that is tossed to you. You can kick a ball farther than I can. You can throw a frisbee farther than I can. You know how to tackle and charge with a look of furry that would scare anyone. And ofcourse- you can wrestle your Poppi and usually win.
11. Transformer: which is when you run and jump to your knee and stick one arm out. (it looks more like Spider Man...but we'll let you call it "transformer".

We love you Broders! We hope you had a good #3 Toy Story Birthday. You are our best little buddy.
(Love the Hamburger/mustard face and Cheetos hands.)
