O turns 3.

June 21, 2009
I love this little boy. He has so many sides to him. It's often easy to discribe him as ~ Random. He does and says the most random things. He may seem like a rough and tubble sorta dude but really he is a tender hearted little boy. Sweet and kind. Always pops an "I love you ______(fill in with your name) at the most unexpected times.
He is gorgeous and has many admirers. He likes to look "sharp" and will ask his brother how he looks. He looks up to his big brother but can make his own decisions. He is much like his daddy when it comes to eating and cooking. He LOVES IT! He likes to make himself sandwiches . He let me know yesterday that it was time to buy some more "this stuff" (Mayo).
Owen needs two things in the morning. If he wakes before 9:30 am he needs to lay with me on my bed and MUST have a pillow to himself. If after 9:30 he would like "a show" in the "Frah rooms". He likes "Ser-alls" (Cereal) "wiff out da milks". Which is odd because he is a very thirsty boy~ all the time. He drinks everything but loves him some Crystal Light.
If you take O shopping with you he will at one point need to go to the bathroom. Not just for #1 but also #2. I say he is a nervous shopper. Either that or he likes to see the inside of EVERY bathroom.... EVERYWHERE! I have accepted this and am used to jogging through a store to make sure he makes it. I can also wipe his bum while holding Lilia and making sure she doesn't touch a single thing in the public bathroom. Owen tells me everyday, "Doodoo is mean, Shishi is nice."
O is a very manly little boy. He will pop up with a new bruise or cut and will have no idea where it came from and always says it doesn't hurt.

Owen reminds me so much of my dad in the way that he loves. Very tender and thoughtful. He also has my dads temper. If he sees things his way there is no showing him different till he simmers down. After being very upset about something he can instantly switch that off and become sweet and funny.

He loves a good laugh. He finds the word Coconut to be absolutely hilarious. He has a great laugh that makes you want to crack up when you hear it. His voice is low and scratchy. People always comment about his voice and his coloring.
He is called Brad Pitt by many. And has answered to the name Bradley many times (thanks Tara!).

O does not enjoy cleaning and at times flat out will NOT clean. He will say he is "suppa tired". He has laughed many times while getting a sasa from me. Very frustrating. He enjoys a good time-out. Yes, I said ENJOYS".

He know how to push my button. We have a battle of the wills weekly.
Like all of my kids I want for him to be a hard worker. A respectful and respected member of society. I want him to ALWAYS keep that funny sense of humor. I want him to know that the sky is the limit when it comes to his dreams and what he can accomplish. I want him to gain his own individual testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I want him to always be close to him family specifically his brother and his sister.
I see a tight bond there and I pray that is will get even stronger with time.

I love this little boy. His face is perfection and I love when he looks at me. I love that he calls me "my mama" and I love that he is in my life.
I love you my OC Bear.
