My nephew, Yadon Davis Bowman, is 3 yrs. old today! It’s crazy because it feels like not too long ago when my mom snuck her cell phone through the hospital room door so I could hear newborn Yadon wailing…now he’s THREE YEARS OLD!

Yadon has to be one of the sweetest, purest little persons EVER! His voice alone will make you melt. It’s been so fun to see and hear how his personality is developing more and more. One of my favorite stories of this child is when he was at Nana and Papa’s house,opened up on of their kitchen cupboards and started tapping his foot while tapping his finger on his cheek, in a contemplating motion, saying “Hmmmmm, let me see…”

After apprehension from his parents, Yadon has followed in his older cousins fashion and is a Thomas the Train advocate; about two months ago he called my mom and in the most excited voice said, “NANA, YOU GET ME GORDON FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!!???!!!”

My heart absolutely melted when I talked with him on the phone last week and he said (please imagine the sweetest, softest voice speaking), “Sissy, you coming to my party? Please come to my party, you’re invited!” Yadon, as much as Steven and I both wish we were at your party, please know that we love you sooooo much!
