Brooks at 3

1.  You talk SO much in complete sentences. You help out so much around the house, and you can also destroy a room in less than 5 minutes:)

2.  You still love bananas and ask for one every single morning. You also love chocolate milk, but we pretend to put it in your cup more than we actually do.

3.  You are becoming so independent and love to tell me you will do something "all myself"

4.  You are still not potty trained, but I think we are almost there.

5.  You LOVE to play with other kids!

6.  You are so smart. I'm not just saying that. You have a great memory, and know so many things. You know how to spell your name, can identify almost all the letters of the alphabet, can identify numbers 1-10, know most of the basic shapes (even octagons). We give most of the credit to your preschool at Miss Pat's house.

7.  You love to play with your dad. You both love to say "we are wild and crazy guys!" (you told me one time i was not a "wild and crazy guy" because I was a girl)

8.  You are definitely pushing boundaries with us, and it's a challenge for all of us getting through this stage with you.

9.  You are sooooo sweet and kind. You will share your toys with other kids, and I'm so proud of you.

10. You love Toy Story, Cars, Handy Manny, Dora & Diego, etc. You ask to watch "your shows" all the time...many times you like to jump between Dora and Diego.

11.  You like to take bubble baths. You never want to take a bath, but once we get you in there, you never want to get out!

12. You sleep in your toddler bed in your room, but come to our room every morning when you wake up. Sometimes you crawl in bed with us, and sometimes you want to go downstairs immediately.

13.  Your favorite place to eat is Chick Fil A (you call it 'chicken away'). You ask to go there almost every day! You also LOOOOOVVVEEE Target! (mostly b/c you can look at toys)

14.  You are so sweet with Levi (wevi) and help me out so much with him. You will hold his bottles, get diapers, give him his paci, etc. You smile almost every time you get close to him...we will see how long that lasts, hahah.

15. You are such a big boy! We love you so much and can't wait for another fantastic year with you!
