Happy Third Birthday Talan


 Dear Talan,
Wow, three years already. Sometimes it seems like just yesterday when you joined our family, and sometimes I can’t even remember what it was like before you joined us.
You are such a sweet boy; so loving and so funny.  Baba and I love coming to pick you up on Sunday mornings during tax season and getting to spend the day with you before everyone comes for Sunday dinner.  You still like to clean and vacumn and rake leaves like you did last year.  But now, you also love to help in the kitchen.  Especially if you get to "wash" the dishes.  You LOVE playing in the water in the sink. 
You know everyone by name now, though you like to call Ashley Jayme.  (I think you do it to tease her!)  And I love how you say "grammie" when you call me.  It melts my heart. 
You call Vegas "gaygess" and we sure do get a kick out of that.  You talk a lot now and for the most part we understand you very well.  But every once in awhile you say something we don't understand and then you get louder and louder, as if saying it louder will make it clearer.  And you get also get a little angry when we don't get it.  You also like to repeat almost everything you hear.  Not such a good thing sometimes.  Your aunts taught you how to say "goozidam" last Sunday.  Someday, you'll have to ask your Baba what that means. 
 We've been trying to teach you how to play CandyLand, but you "cheat" and just zoom up the path instead of drawing cards and moving to the colored squares.  Your mom and aunts loved that game when they were little, so I'm hoping you will one day learn to play it correctly and we can have as much fun as they did.
You're a wonderful little boy and because you are the oldest you will need to set an example for Kendall to follow.  I don't doubt that you can do this.  You have so many people in your life that love you and will help guide you and offer you advice.  You are one lucky little boy.
We love you so much!
Grammie
