Our 3-Year-Old Timothy

Our first child born in our current home is now three years old!


Timothy is so full of life and had such a big contagious smile. He runs, plays, explores, discovers and takes in everything that he can. He loves life!

Right now Timothy wants to learn everything he can and he always verifies that he has gotten what he's sharing correct. He will say something and end it with, "Right?" just to be sure he has it down. It's so precious. He's learning letters, numbers, body parts, names of vehicles, animals, foods, and more. He takes it all in. He likes to sit down with a book and go through it asking and verifying what everything is, though he doesn't care much for the words or stories therein yet. 

Because of his love of learning, Timothy doesn't talk much when out and about as he prefers to observe, but with the family he talks a lot and it's so fun to hear him talking to his siblings about life and what he's learning. He knows who to ask to find out what he needs to know. He also enjoys playing with his siblings and does not let his age or small stature keep him from following along on the adventures of the older children. 

Timothy loves being outside in nature. Hot or cold, rain or shine, he is out exploring the yard, riding in a toy car, finding bugs, attempting to climb trees, or watching the neighbors chickens and dogs. He really likes cars and enjoys watching the cars go by as well as play with toy cars in the driveway. He will also take a book and sit out in the sun and look at the pictures. 

He also loves to eat and will eat almost anything. It's hilarious hearing a three year old ask for more broccoli, carrots or cabbage, but Timothy will! He is already starting to understand the importance of healthy food, which is a huge blessing. He will polish off as much food as our older ones too. For his birthday dinner he asked for rice and beans and ate 2 full bowls! It's so amazing so tee him grow!

Timothy is a snuggler and gives the best hugs. He is a tender heart but also rough and tumble. He seeks that immediate comfort when hurt, but will quickly go back to his play as soon as he gets a kiss. Such a precious combination.

We are so thankful for the life that Timothy brings to our home. He is truly a gift from God and our home and family are so much richer with him in it.

Father, we thank You so much for our sweet Timothy. Thank You for the gift of his life and how much life he brings to our home. We pray that You will give him true life in You, through the death and resurrection of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit regenerating his heart. Thank You for the sweet spirit You have given to him. Give Timothy the desire to want to follow You in everything and to trust You completely. We pray all of this in the Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
