Okay, so Luke’s birthday isn’t until tomorrow, but we’re celebrating his 3rd birthday today with our play group buddies for a Gruffalo party. {more on that later!} Luke has been anticipating his Gruffalo party and cookie dough cupcakes for weeks, as well as Mamama’s visit…well now that Mamama is here, Luke seems to have forgotten that he has a birthday coming up. As his mama, I simply cannot let that happen. Plus, I just love birthdays, especially those of my precious ones!!
Sweet Luke, you are such a funny wee man! I had no idea that my sleepy, tender little baby would turn into such a fun-loving, hilarious 3 year old. You make us all laugh so much of the time, you little imp. You are still a mama’s boy and a cuddler, but you have expanded your inner circle of trust to your friends and family. You are very loyal, and you love those who spend time with you. You also love to sing and show me stuff you can do, saying, “Mommy, look what can I do!”
You have had so much change the past few months- glasses, a patch, no paci, and potty training. But you have handled it all like a champ and such a big boy. You love your big boy pants and being more like your sister- in fact, you can’t wait to share a room with Bekah soon. I’m pretty interested in how that goes- I think you two might talk all night.
Luke, I just love you to pieces. I have such a soft spot in my heart for you, and you know it. You just melt me in a way I wasn’t prepared for. You’re really hard to say no to, especially when you bat your eyes and grin at me. I want to give you the world. As it is, my prayer for you is that you would continue to grow in the security of Jesus’ and our love and grow into the child and man God has designed you to be. I am so excited to learn more about you the next year- I’m pretty sure you will have a lot of words in the next 365 days.
I love you, buddy.
Happy day before your birthday, Luke. Nana and Papa miss you so much and can’t wait to see you this summer. Hope you party is wonderful. We also pray that you come to know Jesus as your personal savior, grow to be a man of God and serve Him all of your life.
Oh I hope that he has a Wonderfully Blessed Birthday!! He is just so adorable. Love that sweet smile of his.
He looks so grownie in this picture. (At least that’s what my Southern family says about a kid when they are looking older. I kind of like it.) I’m sad I’m not at his Gruffalo party. Give him a squeeze for me and maybe show him my picture when you give him my present. Happy birthday, sweet Luke!
Luke, Happy Birthday! I’m delighted to be here for your birthday and agree with your Mama that you keep us laughing. I love your little heart and am also praying that you trust Jesus at an early age and serve God all the days of your life. Happy birthday to your Mama too as she celebrates giving birth to you 3 years ago. Much love to you from Mamama.
What sweet beautiful words from a mother to her son!! Happy Birthday Luke!! You smile just lights up a room, Luke, and your sweet adoration of your sister makes me giggle! Happy Birthday sweet boy!! Love every minute of being 3!
