I have a 3 year old....that just sounds a little crazy. This little boy has truly blessed our lives. We had a fun celebration, and then he went in for a check up a few days after his sisters birthday. For some reason, he loves the doctor, he was brave and the doctor would check his chest, ears, ect first, then Addysons. It was super nice because Addyson freaks out whenever she sees someone in scrubs. It calmed Addy down to see her big brother do something first and that everything was okay.
Drake had a flu shot when we went in. It was adorable, he was so excited. He wanted a sticker so he climbed up on the table, the nurse told me how bad she felt because he was so happy to get a shot. He looked quite betrayed when the shot wasn't as fun as he thought, but he was fine soon after.
Drake weighed 31 pounds and was 37 inches tall. He is actually quite on the normal size now that he is a little older. He wears 3T but he is still skinny so his pants fall off of him. I often find him with only a shirt and socks on later in the day because he get annoyed and just takes his pants off.
Around his 3rd birthday I started potty training him. He did so well, but if I didn't remind him he would just go in his underwear and not care. After 3 weeks of asking him to go every hour I got discouraged because it was a bigger chore than diapers, and school was starting soon so I gave up. Yeah, I'm awesome. He still will ask to go in the potty from time to time, and I plan on trying again in May when he isn't at a sitters.
Maybe I will train Addy at the same time as Drake...we will see where she is developmentally.
Drake is a boy that is all boy. He loves any kind of car or truck, he knows the difference between mommy's van, daddy's truck, and daddy's car. One morning Kade took my van to work, Drake asked me all day long, "where's mommy's van?" I think that is pretty smart. He has known his abc's and he can count to at least 16. He has a hard time with colors, but knows pink and blue for some reason. He loves the birthday song and always asks if it is his birthday. He seems to get smarter and bigger everyday and I can't keep up.
When we say family prayers at night, if it is his turn to pray, he will only say "thank you for my cars, thank you for my cars," over and over and finally amen. Sometimes you can get him to be thankful for something else but it is rare. He knows once prayers are over it is bed time, and he promptly crawls into bed. He is so much better at bed time then his sister, who still cries for a few minutes.
He now will tell me what he wants to watch, eat, and wear. I love how independent he is, but sometimes he really throws a tantrum if he can't wear his shorts and cars t-shirt to church. He loves anything lightning mcqueen and mater!
The other day he cried during lunch because all he wanted to eat was carrots not the sandwich I made and I couldn't understand what he wanted, we finally figured it out.
Drake is just growing into his own fun person. Here are some pictures and videos from his birthday.
His little army set, he was pretty excited!
Showing off his favorite part of his army set! He even smiled.
Showing us how old he is. You can see his thumb, he sticks up his thumb and two fingers, so most of the time it looks like only 2 fingers.
He was so excited
No fork needed folks
Then he was excited for a fork
