Collin is 3!!!

May 22, 2008 we welcomed Collin Riley Bunger into our family.  Induced two weeks early....he was still a whopping 8lbs 14 oz.  And even though the first month of his life was full of hospital stays, tests and scary times for us.....he is now an amazing, happy, healthy 3 year old!!!

Collin has transitioned to his preschool room and we were so thrilled that he has the same preschool teacher Mitchell had who is incredible!  He is loving his new classroom and asks every morning if he gets to go back to Ms. Melody's room. :)

Here are some fun facts of Collin at 3 years old:
-Collin still loves horses, but now has broadened to pretend play with all sorts of animals, from orca and humpback whales, giraffes, snakes and now even dinosaurs.  His imagination and pretend play is so fun to watch!

-He is strong willed, has a mind of his own and you never have to wonder what his thoughts/feelings are on something....he is sure to tell you!

-His language skills are unbelievable.  Sometimes he picks up on things a little too well!

-He loves to sit with books, be read to and pretend to read books on his own.  Many nights we will go in to check on him and he is sitting in bed with a book wide open....reading the book to himself (or as he remembers it at least).  It is so precious!

-Any stick he finds becomes a sword right now....perhaps we've watched one too many episodes of ThunderCats on DVD????

-He loves bubbles

-not sure of where he is percentage wise (his appointment is next week) but I have a feeling he is going to be tall like his brother....he is already wearing 5T shirts and 4T bottoms for the summer!

-His laugh, his smile and those big brown eyes melt my heart. 

Happy 3rd Birthday Collin Riley Bunger....we love you!!!
