Happy Third Birthday William & Keisha

On Friday, September 14, William and Keisha turned three years old. Where have the three years gone? It seems like it was just yesterday when I proudly carried them in my womb, wobbling down the aisle with swollen feet and a smile on my face.

Three years later after Tuesday, September 14, 2004 at 8:19 a.m., I am thankful the wobble and swollen feet are gone, but I still have a smile on my face. William and Keisha have gone through a great deal and accomplished so much during their second year of life. Contrary to pediatricians absurd recommendations, JT and I decided potty training is a necessity before age 5. Hundreds of diapers later, we have survived... William and Keisha are fully potty trained and in the big girl and boy classroom at daycare. Did you just see me do three backflips? The alphabet... you guys almost have it, you just get a little blurry around H but you pick up the pace soon after that.

I love to hear you sing songs such as Old McHaddold [sic], Itsy Bitsy Spiduh [sic], Twinkuh Twinkuh Little Stah [sic] and Blue Zoo Train. No one can sing the songs like my two bundles of joys. You know all of your colors, even some of those crazy ass made up ones in the Crayola box. You love the Disney Channel and actually prefer it over Sponge Bob SquarePants (thank God). William, your favorite snacks are cookies and chips... Keisha your favorite snack is ...well you are the finicky one of the two. You change your mind daily *smile*

You can finally hold up three fingers when I ask you how old you are and Keisha, you are not sad anymore about turning three. JT says that this is a typical female response about getting older *evil eye*...

You have had a lot of bumps and bruises over the year and I know that this is just the beginning. I shall live up to my promise and keep a stock on the Dora the Explorer Band-Aids, Neosporin and endless love, hugs and kisses.

The third stage of my life began on September 14, 2004 when you two were born. I would go through all 38 weeks of pregnancy all over again if I had to.

I love you William and Keisha. I hope that you had a fantastic birthday and party. Mom and Dad love you so much. We want the best for you because you deserve only the best.

With all my love,

Mom
