<p>Three has always been my favorite age for kids. It is that moment just before they want to do everything on their own, but they still have the bounding energy to keep you always laughing and running after them. This year, three is a bittersweet number for me. My youngest, my baby, turned three this month. I am sure this is the start of many bittersweet birthdays, but I am ever grateful and full of joy for the many images I have of him throughout the years! Three is a happy number.</p>
<p>This is my baby boy, at 6 months, and my big three year old boy... too big!</p>
