Tucker is 39 months old!
And in the midst of a lot of tough 3 year old moments, we still get great smiles, laughter, and sweetness from our boy. But oh, it is hard to be three?!? We are being tested on obedience, sharing, keeping hands to yourself, and just plain 'ol attitude these days. We're trying to remember that all of our efforts will be worth it some day and hopefully that day is coming soon!
We've enjoyed a lot of outside days this month which is hard to believe since it's January. This has been perfect since Tucker got a scooter for Christmas - is he Mr. Cool or what? He's getting better and better and has learned how to stop without falling all the way down. :) Hadley loves to tag along in the stroller and I'm thankful for some unexpected vitamin D this winter!
Tucker had some fun GiGi time this month around Hadley's birthday. These two are "tight" as Tucker likes to say.
Speaking of Hadley's birthday, it was fun to watch Tucker celebrate her that week. He enjoyed a lot of birthday treats and wasn't too jealous of her getting gifts.
It's amazing how Hadley is now doing things parallel to Tucker now... watching a show in her chair, playing with toys, WALKING, dancing... This makes me excited about them actually being able to be playmates.
One of my favorite things about Tucker right now is the way he says wrong words instead of correct ones--and he's pretty confident of the "wrong" word. Like, "allergy" for "algae" or "dreams" for "beams" (for building a house of course). One of the funny ones recently was when he was talking about cars in the movie, Cars 2 (typically an all-day affair) and he kept talking about the "bazillion" race car. I thought, wow, where did he learn that high of a number? I eventually realized he was trying to say "Brazilian" race cars :)
And speaking of Cars, well, that is what he's "into" these days. He got some hand-me-down cars from his buddy Taylor and he plays with them all the time. His new favorite show is Octonauts-- a new show on Disney Jr. This show is all about the ocean and the creatures in it, hence, him saying "allergy" for "algae". :)
Tucker is still loving preschool and every night when he prays, he lists all his little friends (in the same order mind you) as he thanks God for things. We LOVE his teachers and the things he's learning!
Tucker still loves to read-- 1 book at nap, 2 books at night :) He's still a good eater most of the time and when he's not, it's clearly a power struggle. He hates for good things to end and he absolutely must watch a show until the DVR stops it. He's skipping naps every other day pretty consistently but will hang out in his bed regardless. He's wearing size 4 clothes and still loves his dee dee.
We are thankful for our determined, methodical, silly, energetic, thoughtful boy!
