Our firstborn turned 3 1/2 this week and surprisingly it seems a little sad. He's getting so big and he constantly reminds me how much of a little person he's become.
Owen at 3.5:- is 38 lbs and wearing mostly 3T clothes, but could use a few 4T. He is such a healthy boy..rarely does he get sick. (Watch me jinx us now!)
- He is progressing well in his language development. He is talking more and using complete sentences. He still leaves out articles and will drop the final constant off of words. As his mom, I can understand most of what he says, but I feel like his translator when we are in social settings.
- He is very inquistive and will always ask where are we going or what is that. If we watch a movie or read a book, he asks what every character's name is (even if he already knows it).
- has a great memory and is very observant of the world around him. He often identifies stores/houses/places we have been. He can tell you who we went with and what we got there.
- He continues to be a great eater. He loves all kinds of food; honestly I don't know a food he doesn't like.
- He is pretty much potty-trained yet he still has difficulty always using the potty to poop. He has done it (finally) but he still poops in his pull-up over night. He is finally telling us when he needs to go rather than us taking him all the time. Potty training has been a long struggle for us and I'm glad we are finally coming out on the other side.
- The trait I most love in Owen is how kind, sweet, and lovable he is. He loves to give hugs, kisses, sit in your lap, or hold your hand.
- He also loves to help do things (except clean up toys).
- He continues to love books and wants to read numerous times a day. He also still loves puzzles and he's really good at them!
- The boy loves to watch a movie and would do it all day if I'd let him. We limit his screen time though which causes many tantrums.
- He recently has gotten into baseball. He got a glove, tee, bat, and balls now and I love it.
When asked, this is what he said were his favorites:
- Food: Hotdog
- Color: Blue
- Sport: Basketball (I say baseball)
- Books: Sally (it was the last one we read..I don't think he really has a favorite, right now)
- Person: Daddy
- Movies: Toy Story 3
- Team: Basketball (I asked him who is favorite basketball team was then? and he never answered me)
- Friend: Samuel
- Thing to do: Play all day
He really is such a sweet and fun little man now. I feel lucky to be a his mama and thank God every day that I get to be.
