Three Years Old

Can we all celebrate making it through the terrible twos!?

Time just keeps zooming on and now you are three. Gone is all signs of a baby and you are all boy. Dad and I can imagine what our lives would be like without your spunky personality in our family.

*Got rid of pacifier (he cut it up and the garbage man took it)

*After mastering crawling out of his crib, he moved to a toddler bed

*Will go potty on the toilet occasionally for rewards. All potty training attempts have failed

*Russell's 'magic word' to ask politely is "please, thank you, okay!"

*Napping has been hit or miss, but hasn't completely dropped it. Happy day for all!
