Dear Hunter

Oh my son where do I began. It's been 4 months since I've written you a letter last. You have grown into a little boy now, your not Mommy's baby anymore and It's heartbreaking!! But you'll always be my baby boy no matter what you think. :)

I'm going to list a few things that you have done over the past few months.

You have been very Independent lately! You like to do things on your own or at least try. You can pull on and off your own clothes, you can get your own cup out of the fridge, you like to wash yourself while in the bath tub. You no longer let Mommy help you, if I do try helping you, you say "Mommy me, I can do it". Sigh…

You don't like it when I kiss your sweet face anymore, you wipe it off every time then Mommy has to pretend I'm crying before you let me give you another one. :) I can't believe your already growing out mommies kisses!

 

Every night during the week day we have a nightly routine,  you come home, we play for a few, go over your lessons you've learned throughout the day, eat dinner, take a bath, brush your teeth, read a book or two, then we say our prayers and It's a kiss goodnight and off to sleep you go. Well before you fall asleep you have to get up and grab a toy car or two and play with it very loudly like "Vroooooomm, vroom" you make those cool sound effects until your precious little soul falls asleep. When I come tuck you in before I head off to sleep, I find you sound asleep with your toys held tightly in your hands.. Bitter sweet!

 

You are a big helper around the house, you are always wanting to lend a hand no matter what we're doing.

 

You talk so much now that It's not even funny. Ha. Your mouth is running nonstop by the time you wake up in the morning until you go to sleep at night.

You can put many sentences together now. You say some really funny stuff that make Mommy and Daddy laugh like: Mommy I tarted then you laugh, you stop for a minute and make a concerned face and say "mommy what that?", when Mommy or Daddy speak to someone else you sometimes repeat what we say and call that person by there name instead of Nanny or Granddaddy. When Mommy takes pictures of you, sometimes you get so aggravated with me and huff and puff about it. Ha.

You have quite a variety of facial expressions lately. Sometimes when Mommy and Daddy tells you to do something you don't really want to do, you'll slouch over, huff and say "Alright". It's too funny. Some other things your saying lately are "I don't want to" every time I tell you to do something (It's driving me coo-coo).When we ask you something like did you pick up your toys, you'll huff and say "Not Yet." One day at the club u picked up a big stick and told Mommy "poop make u strong", ha.. the joys of what a 3yr old can come up with.

 

You do very well with talking to someone on the phone, everyone is starting to understand you a little bit better now.

 

You can say a good bit of your numbers from 1-20, you can say a few of your ABC's, you know all your colors, you love to read, color, play with puzzles. Your writing skills are pretty good, we do believe you are definitely left handed, but you play with your right hand.

You love playing outside no matter night or day, you love your dump trucks, four wheeler, tractor, playing ball, you like playing with your little hot wheel cars, monster trucks, and choo-choo trains. Anything with dirt or water you LOVE!

You have come out of that Dora & Diego stage now, you still watch them from time to time but your not obsessed as you once were. You really don't have a favorite right now, but you like to watch, Franklin, Dora, Diego,  Mickey Mouse club House, Chuggington,

Movies: Toy Story, Cars.

You LOVE going to the hunting club with Mommy & Daddy every Saturday. This year is so much better than last because you understand to be quite when we are hunting. What makes it even better is your Uncle Bubba and Miss Beth is a member of our club now and they get to spend most of the day with you while we're hunting. I don't know what we do without hunting!

 

While at daycare some days you bring home good notes from your teachers and some are very bad! You tend to not listen very well and you like to hit or push your friends which is VERY bad!! I really do hope you grow out of this bullying before you go to school, if not we're in trouble!

Your best friend at school is Dominic, you and him are like two pees in a pod! You love it when Darren comes over to our house and play with you. At night you like to cuddle with your puppy Rex.

 

You're a very picky eater lately!! You never want to try anything, instead you sit there and put something on your tongue then pull it off and say "I don't like that". Ugh!

 

You can be very silly some days, you like making silly sounds or do silly dances and tell us to "Look at me Mommy." You love it when we pretend there is a spider crawling up your back in the morning or whenever, you laugh so much then say " do it again", when you get out the bathtub and your naked, you sometimes shake your hinny at us and say "na,na,boo, boo". Ha!

 

You choo gum when I let you, you sit in mommies lap when we pull in the drive way and help mommy drive.

 

These are just a few things that I can think off the top of my head that you've accomplished. I'm sure there are many more things that I've missed but Hunter just know that I truly adore everything that you do! Your sweet silly smile lights up my day! There isn't a day that goes by that I don't Thank God for you. Your Mommy's tootabug and Daddy's buddy. We love you more than anything in this world! We're very proud of you and am looking for many fun years to come.

Love you baby!
