William Turns 3!

Last week William turned 3. In typical Reese family fashion, we kept it very low-key! There was the birthday breakfast doughnuts, balloons, presents and birthday cake. It was a very fun day of just playing, mostly with the foil helium balloons I bought for them!

For me, once a child turns 3 it seems to open a door of new opportunities. There are so many classes he can now enroll in and it will be this upcoming year that we really see him become William. He talks a lot right now, but by the end of the year he'll be having conversations. He no longer wears diapers in the day, but still has the occasional accident. This time next year I won't even be able to imagine a time he wore diapers. He draws, he plays games, he laughs at funny things and he tries to make Oliver feel better when he's crying. He is maturing into a real child, a sweet child who just wants to have fun and do good. Turning 3 before the Sept 1st deadline also meant I could enroll him in preschool for this year. So, starting Sept 9th he'll be away for me for 2 1/2 hours twice a week, socializing, playing and learning. I'm so excited for him!
