3 2/3 Years Update

3 2/3 YearsYou're 3 and 2/3 years old! Practically a grown up!

April 17Based on our scale at home you're almost to 30 lbs. You're wearing a mix of clothes from 2t to 4t. In shoes you're currently in a size 9.

May 9Your favorite movie is currently Trolls. You go in phases of watching the same movie over and over. So before Trolls it was Toys Story 2, and before that Baymax (Big Hero 6), with a few watchings of The Little Mermaid and Pinocchio thrown in there. You don't normally watch tv, but when you do, you want to watch Paw Patrol or Shimmer and Shine.

June 16You started Pre-K in the fall at your daycare. (Although based on your birthday, will wind up needing a second year next year.) Starting Pre-K you were so excited because that meant you were able to sign your name each day on the white board. Through practice you've actually gotten quite good at writing out your name.

July 6You are really enjoying school right now. Each week you're so excited to tell me what your job is. (This past week you were the gardener.) I'm always so impressed by what you now seem to know, things like The Pledge of Allegiance. You best friends at school are still I and N. Although there are several girls in your Pre-K class you mention as well (C, A, and H for instance).

July 7You love playing board games and doing puzzles. Each night after Bear goes to sleep you know it's time to do something special. Most night that means you want to play one of your board games, but occasionally you'll want to do a puzzle. Less often than either of those, it's playing with your Playmobils.

July 12You're playing soccer again this Fall and you absolutely love it. You had swimming lessons over the summer and were a big fan of those as well, even swimming a few strokes on your own by the end.

July 13Also you went to a week of cooking camp over the summer which you really enjoyed. Coincidentally the week after camp ended you wound up going to a birthday party at the same cooking school, which again you had a blast at.

July 22You are such an awesome kid. Yes, there are moments of meltdowns or sassiness coming out, but no more than what you'd expect from any other 3 year old. You really have gotten to be such a little grown up that I can barely believe it.

22 Months Update

22 MonthsYou're 22 months old! And by that I mean you're a week away from turning 2, but I'm not actually late yet.

July 6You've gotten so big! Well, I guess not in terms of size, since you're still wearing 12 months and size 6 shoes. (Although I have tried out a few 18m tops, which are big, but work.) On our home scale, you're right around 20 lbs.

July 7Otherwise though, you are talking up a storm! Putting words together, saying small sentences like "I wanna come!", "I'm climbing," or "Geaux Tigers!" You are constantly on the go. Spinning in circles, jumping from the coffee table to the couch, just non-stop. There have been times where you've literally run head first into the wall, and you're still ready to go.

July 25You love lawn mowers. One of your favorite things is to just stare out the window watching our neighbors mow the lawn. Or if you're at home depot, you're in absolute heaven getting to try out all the riding lawn mowers. (Both of which are pictured below!)

July 29Your other favorite, My Little Ponies. They fit perfectly in your hand, and they have hair. Currently you have both a pink and purple one, and assuming we can find both, you sleep with them at night.

August 4You have several books we seem to read over and over again, specifically, Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do you Hear, Usborne's Big Book of Things That Go, and How Do Dinosaurs Say Happy Chanukah.

August 5You love playing with your sister and want to do everything she does. One of the favorite games you two like to play is getting bags, filling them with a ton of stuff, and then carrying them all over the house to go on a picnic.

August 8You really aren't a baby anymore, and I can't hardly believe it. It's just crazy to me how quickly times flies by. I just know I need to cherish all of the big hugs I get from you, because in no time at all you're going to think you're too big for them.
