our boy turned three on monday.
36 months since he was handed to me.
156 weeks together.

our lazy mornings and unstructured days
together are coming to an end in septmember
when he starts pre-kindergarten. (wait. what?! eek!)
he is so ready and excited to be going.
my mama-heart wants to hold him next to me forever
but i know that he has a whole world that is his.
full of his experiences.
seen from his eyes.

three.
t-h-r-e-e.
th-th-th-three.
