The Three Year Old

Catching up with David...

At 3, here are some of his favorites:

Food - fruit snacks (boot nacks, as he would say), juice, candy, doughnuts
Animal - dogs
Color - yellow
TV shows - Caillou, Clifford
Toys - train tracks, anything Anna has first
Books - No David, Astair the Bear, Batman versus Joker
Movies - Making Tracks to Great Destinations (Thomas), Where the Garbage Goes, Finding Nemo
Silly Stuff - playing Peek-a-boo, building lego houses for his puppies, saying "you bad news"
Places to Go - any park, outside in general, grocery store, Avery's house

D is potty-trained now. He loves reading books and building train tracks with his Thomas set. He loves being around adults - he was the life of the party at his Uncle Jeff's wedding. Sharing with his sister is still a challenge though the "no baby"s have definitely decreased. He is learning soccer and basketball through our local park district. This is an interesting experience for him - his first structured anything. He is learning to follow directions and stay with the group. Oh yeah and maye how to dribble a ball. D still loves to help cook, recycle, feed the animals. The other day he was so excited to be allowed to watch me clean the toilets while Anna was napping. He talks all the time and inquires "why" all day long. He is a sweet little man - he asks about his friends and family when they are not around and will say "Me love you!"
