3 years old

Adam's got the alphabet down, he can even recognize lower and upper case.

He can count to 10 in Spanish and knows several colors in Spanish now too

I am not really sure how high he can count because he likes to tease so much that he'll be counting and you'll see the corners of his mouth turn up and he's throw in random numbers he's already said. I think he's gotten at least to 20.

He's pretty got with shapes too - even Octagon and Hexagon

Favorites:

Yellow - anything yellow. We drink from yellow cups, eat from yellow plates, have yellow socks, a yellow football, etc

Steak and broccoli could probably be eaten every day

Ella, Katie, Mommy and Daddy in that order ("Daddy, you my last favorite" - guess I'll take it)

Puzzles and books

Dora/Diego

He's ready for Abigail - he shares with her already and she even plays Candyland with us.

No likey:

Mac and Cheese

Hamburgers

Witches

Quotable Adam: "Whew (hand across forehead) that was close"

4 to go...

Adam can do the alphabet, save for 4 letters... We'll get them in the next 4/5 weeks before his birthday. He likes to tease towards the end, W is called a M with a big smile... then Z called S with the same smile.

Another thing to accomplish in the next few weeks -- letting us know when he has to "go" before he's actually going. Getting better though, he was dry most of this long weekend.

Whew - not a restful vacation but we had a blast!

Wow

We were cleaning up the living room tonight and I hear Adam talking as he's picking things up. I was only kind of paying attention and then it became clear to me what he was saying as he was stacking DVD cases.

"Uno... Dos... Tres... Catro... Uno... Dos..." - Neither of us have a clue where he picked it up but pretty awesome at two and a half!

Waaaaazzzzzuuuuuuuup?

Getting Adam changed for bed tonight, he ran from room to room buck naked yelling "WAAAAAAZZZZZZUUUUUUP" (ala the old Budweiser commercials). Too funny...

What’s new?

Not much! Been doing a lot of day trips here and there, but mostly just hanging around the house.

New happenings (or not so new because I haven’t added anything in a while):
Adam is now in a twin bed. “My Big Boy Bed”
Big fan of steak, big big fan
Pink lemonade has to be his favorite drink
He’s very good at getting your attention, not afraid to get right in your line of sight to ensure you are listening
Loves the trolley and walking the piers in Grand Haven.
Says “Go Cubs Go” and “Let’s Go Irish” – he will say the Irish line almost anytime he sees the ND or the leprechaun
Getting pretty good at putting the right words in the right order in sentences
No accidents yesterday (we think for the first time) Pull-up was dry all day
TV: Backyardigans, Wonder Pets and Dora – Wiggles not so much anymore…
Books: Seems to like Dr Seuss and the big animal picture books most – loves to read the animals off as he points to them
Toys: Doesn’t seem to have one favorite… Trucks, kitchen, dinosaurs, back to trucks.
