Happy 3rd Birthday precious Owen! I can't believe it's been 3 years since your early arrival that cool fall weekend. Since that first day, you have shown us you do everything on your own timing. This year has been a big year for you and you are growing into such a big boy.
At 3 years old, you:
- weigh 35 lbs and are 37.5 in tall
- are wearing 3T shirts and 2T/3T pants.
- are sleeping in a bunk bed now. We are so proud of how you have conquered your fears and can climb the ladder all on your own. You still like to sleep in weird positions though. We have found you sleeping on the floor, in your reading chair, your whole body on the pillow, etc. Daddy and I never know how we will find you. :)
- are beginning to think you don't need an afternoon nap. Personally, your crankiness around 4:30 tells me you do.
- are the best hugger. You are just an all-around affectionate kid and I love it!
- love to eat anything. You seriously will eat anything I put in front of you. If asked, your favorites are peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, bananas, yogurt, and pancakes/waffles. You also love to eat cereal out of Daddy's bowl.
- still love to watch Curious George, but have added Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That, Super Why, and Arthur to your list of must-sees. You're a fan of Clifford the Big Red Dog and Martha Speaks too.
- continue to love books. You always point out the library when we drive by and you love to visit and pick new books. Curious George and Dr. Seuss books are still your favorite.
- are finally starting to seem interested in the potty. You have successfully peed in the potty twice so we're hoping you're close to wearing big boy underwear.
- have a love/hate relationship with your little brother. One minute you will be hugging him, giving him toys, etc. then the next minute you've pushed him over or stealing his toy.
- have become quite defiant lately and have started throwing more fits (I think it's lack of naps)
- love all the men in your life. You constantly talk about Daddy, Papa, BP, and Grandpa.
- continue to love your kitchen. Though you don't always use it for cooking, you find a way to play with it everyday. You love pouring and hiding stuff in all the holes in it.
- love to dig in the sand and being chased around the house by Daddy.
- love going to the Y and going to your class. Every time I peek in at you, you look like you are having such a good time.
- love to howl now for some reason. I had a little video we shot one day of it, but stupid blogger won't upload it. Not really even sure where you learned it, but you love to bust it out when Oliver is sleeping.
We love you little man and feel so blessed to be your parents! We pray that this year you will continue to grow stronger, wiser, and closer to God. Kisses!
