Dear Bently,

You are just a couple days away from being a big 3 year old and I can't even begin to describe how hard this birthday has been for me. For some reason 1 year and 2 years old didn't seem like such a big deal. You still seemed little to me. But 3. 3 is big. Three is preschool and swim lessons and soccer teams. Three is talking in full sentences and having friends. Three is learning to share and showing compassion and thinking of others. Three is doing things with out Mommy. Three is entering the kid world and leaving the toddler one behind. I think what is getting to me the most is three represents three years of not being able to be at home with you all the time. Three years I've missed. Three years worth of memories I don't have. That has hit me hard this week. Even with all the sadness I am so excited to continue to watch you grow and change. And I am so grateful for the memories and fun we have experienced together these last 3 years! :)You are so excited for your Spiderman birthday party and I am excited to watch you just be happy. Nothing gives me more joy than watching you be happy. I love you my almost big boy!

Love,
Mom
