Wendzel Family Blog: Coleman

Sorry for my lack of posting - 2 kids under 3, a puppy, and currently a massive kitchen mess project underway. Life has been busy - a blessing - but busy. More on that later, let's focus on the fact that today is July 3, 2013 and my first born is 3 years old. It's his golden birthday and he will never remember that because he's so young....oh well.

Currently it is 8:24 and 3 years ago at this time I was getting ready to meet my precious Coleman for the very first time at 8:40 pm. It was a long 2 days, but totally worth the wait. He is such a blessing to us. I love his energy, his joy for life, and his ability to remember everything! I love that he talks in paragraphs and doesn't stop from the moment he wakes up 'til the moment he falls asleep. It may get exhausting at times answering every single Why, How, Tell me about, Does this, etc. but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

He has such a kind heart and compassion for others and animals. He is learning to share, take turns, and be kind to his brother (something I think we will work on for many years with both of them). He listens and obeys to the best of his ability. He is smart. I can't believe that he will be going to preschool in the fall. I know it will be so good for him, and for me, but wow - to drop him off somewhere 2 days a week for the short time of 2 hours is going to be hard for me. I'm sure I have spent no more than 20ish days away from him in his past 3 years of life, and that's okay with me.

Here are just a few shots from today's actual birthday celebrations - the family party will be this Sunday, and hopefully a post and more pics to come on that soon!
