Parker-
You turn three and a half today. You are changing more and more all the time and growing up way too fast. Here are a few things that I want to remember about you at this stage of your life:
You continue to be a very strong willed, stubborn and high maintenance child. The terrible twos were easy compared to what you've shown us during your third year. Things are either really good or really bad during the course of your day. When things are good, you are so happy and fun to be around. When things are bad, you throw major tantrums and there is nothing that can make you happy except for time in your room to calm down. Your tantrums have been known to last up to 45 minutes but lately have gotten a little bit better (thanks to mommy and daddy being very consistent and not giving in to your three year old desires!)
You are such a boy in the activities you choose to play. You still LOVE to play with balls and have shown us that you are going to be quite athletic. You can hit a baseball halfway across our huge yard and are enjoying learning new basketball skills in a program at your preschool. You also love to kick the ball back and forth with daddy in the yard.
You love to read books and will sometimes sit with Granna for an hour and listen to her read to you. You know all of your letters and numbers and are becoming very curious about the sounds that the letters make.
You go to preschool 2 mornings a week and love your teacher and friends. I hope that you will always have a love for learning.
You are a picky eater and will not try new things. Your favorite foods are spaghetti and most fruits (apples, grapes, bananas). You will not touch most vegetables, especially if they are green.
You were slow to learn to talk, but now we can not get you to hush! Your vocabulary is constantly growing and you surprise us by the things that you know how to say.
You still suck your thumb, but have told us that you are going to stop when you turn 4 years old. We are definitely going to hold you to that!!
You are trying to give up your afternoon nap. You hate going to your room to rest (and usually throw a tantrum about having to go), but once you get still in your bed, you usually end up falling asleep for at least an hour.
You love to play video and computer games with daddy. You would play all day if we would let you and we have to be careful how much time we let you spend playing every day.
You love your sisters and are a great big brother. You love to play with Eden and are usually very patient with her. You help figure out what she needs or wants and help her get things she can't reach. You have been so sweet to Lily and are constantly wanting to give her hugs and kisses.
You are such a wonderful son and bring so much joy to our family. We love you and look forward to seeing what you accomplish during the next six months.
