Our oldest child has felt more three-year-old than two-year-old for a while, but today makes it official! Imagination aplenty, he's reciting books from memory and parroting song lyrics and parent phrases alike -- there's nothing funnier than hearing him yell one of our first names up the stairs. He's chatty, observant, silly, playful, inquisitive, active, clever, smiley, focused, pleasant, single-minded, more snuggly than he used to be, and insistant :) There's lots of talk around our house about making requests rather than demands, using gentle and kind hands, checking in with a sibling after an altercation, taking turns, offering trades, sharing, declining in a kind "just say no thank you" manner, and inquiring about pee dances.
Backyard play, playground play, sandbox play, dump truck play, crane truck play, excavator play, garbage truck play, box truck play, trains play...there's a whole lot of play in our life. In addition to anything with wheels, he loves animals and we regularly ask Google about "The Animal of the Day." NLW can now make direct "Ok, Google" commands and songs from The Kaboomers, Raffi, Casper Babypants, Wee Sing, Nursery Rhymes, and Bedtime Stories and Fairytales fill our speakers. He has a fairly expansive toddler diet, a love for milk, and a passion for peanut butter :) He likes to walk, visit Hiawatha, go down slides, kick balls, throw balls for other people's dogs (unfortunately ours doesn't fetch), check the mailbox, run errands, and best of all, spot garbage trucks. He's a little boy at heart as captured in these photos from the last year:
