I love three.
I love the numerous daily 'secrets' when sound barely comes out as it tickles my ear & makes my tiny ear hairs stand on-end.
I love the gleeful hugs and kisses, whenever I leave or come home.
I love the funny thoughts that flow from 'three'. (usually having to do with 'buttocks or boobies...a weird obsession).
I love how silly 'three' can be.
I love that 'three' is not inhibited by an onlooking crowd...whenever the music moves her, and she struts her stuff.
I love it that 'three' can comfort herself -say, in the middle of the night when she can't get back to sleep.
I love the end-result of potty-training...which has always been 'three' in our house.
I love it that 'three' has not a care in the world....
I love the honesty of 'three' (as in, "your breath stinks...peeyou!...or "you're the bestest mommie EVER!!")
I love that at three..."I can do it by myself."
I love the sweetness & the sassiness of 'three'. ("mom, I love you so much; I think I'm gonna keep you!")
I love that at three "I want to help" is the norm ("mom, here, you need more yipstick...let me help you." OR help with mommie's 'ouchies' or coloring a pretty picture on the new footboard of the bed.)
I love how 'three' reads to me with such imagination.
I love it that at three there apparently is...
a Stinky blankie (as in, "I need my stinky blankie...")
...and a Clean blankie ("but I'll settle for my clean blankie...")
GO FIGURE...the stinky blankie is the one that's clean most often & the favorite.
I love it that at 'three' I can still convince the hairdo to be done my way.
I adore it that 'three' wants me to join her & skip in the parking lot or the aisles of the store...hand in hand.
I love the little lessons and sheer JOY that 'three' teaches me.
Maybe 'three' is why I kept having kids...
And mostly, yes..I'm thinking of my sweet little Izzie with this post, but 'three'---I could just gobble it up!

I love "three" too! I can't believe how fun "three" is. All of those things you said describe "three" so well! Enjoy this "three" and the last one to come!
Three is when you can "reason" with or "explain" to a child and you know that their sweet little logical thought process is finally kicking in and their frustrations (which use to manifest in tantrums)will be fewer because life just makes more sense now for them.
I loved each little stage (yes, including teens)and the surprises that each held in store!!!!
Ah, I can't wait for three! But I must confess I am liking two right now (other than the unexpected tantrums that can be triggered by the smallest things...but those are few and far between). Right now two is filled with random hugs and kisses for Bart & I. We LOVE IT!
You have such a way with words, I love it! Three's were hard in our household a lot of the times, but the joy outweigh the hard for sure.
I am loving my "three" too. He is such a cutie and so funny! Three is such a great age!!
Just catching up... Read your post about "Do you homeschool?"... now don't get me started! Do you send your children to school to learn or to become social. I agree that there are too many parents who home school for the wrong reasons but if done properly the children are better off, socially incredible because they are not isolated but get to participate in all kinds of activities while they learn... so you hit a nerve... sorry. I know I was not cut out to home school but I wish I had been. And yes... home schooled children are usually better behaved in public. j
Three times two makes six kiddos. Don't know how you do it and have time to appreciate one at a time. Adorable post!
I love three too! All the ages are "fun", but the little ones are my favorite.
Threes are a great age! I miss them, thanks for reminding me.
I'm sorry to mess up your comments. You see, before this one you had 9, which is a multiple of three.
I love Izzie too! She is so fun and when you get Lexie and her together they are a hoot. A few months ago we played like princes and princesses while rescuing cake from a dragon and eating it. It was difficult to find a way to get out of the game after I got tired. But it was fun.
I hearted holding sleeping three today!
I LOVE 3! I told dallas if each child could be born at age 3 I would have 10 kids:) It's such a great stage. You write your feelings so well, what a great blog journal you're going to have!
Three is fun! And Izzie is a hoot.
