Three Year Old Session | Syracuse, NY Oh, Finny. our dear sweet rainbow baby . . . you're three now. Every morning you ask Mama to cuddle you on the couch with your Otis baby (stuffed goat) in one hand and a cup of kefir in the other. We watch robot videos together until sissy wakes up. She is your bestest playmate and partner in crime. And although you are very different from each other, in many ways you're a lot like her, too. I see her influence on you in the way you empathize with others and show small and yet breathtaking acts of kindness. You're affectionate and joyful and so much fun! That's not to say you aren't a mischief maker. You like to do your own thing, even when you've been told no. Then when you see me get upset, you always ask me the same question "are you happy Mama?" And I always reply with the same answer "I'm happy when you listen Finny." But the truth is, I'm happy even when you don't. I'm happy I get to teach you . . . to apologize. And to help you grow. I'm happy I get to be your Mommy. Even when you cannon ball onto the dog and try to ride her like a horse. Even when you dig through the recycling and litter our home with trash that you call "robots" and "airplanes". Even when you scream to sleep with me at night and when I finally cave and let you, you scream to go back to your room. Yes, Finny. Even with all the challenging bits, Mommy's happy, that you are you! "I like you just the way you are." -Mister Rogers
