THREE!

My baby is three, how is it possible?  Over the past few weeks, Lawson has completely changed.  Its like one morning he woke up a little boy.

He is finally for the most part potty trained.  Still a few accidents here and there.

He loves to sing songs.  He surprises us all the time with new songs he has learned at school.  Some of his favorites are:
  • The B-I-B-L-E
  • Jesus Loves Me
  • Twinkle, Twinkle little star
  • Five Little Monkeys
And my two all time favorites, his ABC's which he insists on singing every time he sees letters.  For example, we drove by Hobby Lobby and he saw the sign on the front of the building and said "Oh, I need to sing my ABCs".  My 2nd favorite is the Itsy Bitsy Spider.  He sings it in all kinds of different voices from a high pitch voice to a low loud voice.  I'm assuming this is what they do at school.  It is too cute.

He loves to play outside.  He plays on Jarrett's boat, digs in he dirt, rides his gator, pretends he's hunting or fishing.  Anything outside, he loves.

The biggest challenges with him are of course the potty training and also night time.  He won't fall asleep without one of us laying with him.  He also usually gets up in the middle of the night and crawls in our bed.  He loves to say "hold me mommy" or "hold me daddy".  It can be exhausting, but we try to just take in the sweet cuddle time.

Some other things I want to remember are that he knows his shapes and colors (since around 2 1/2) and can count pretty well.  He is extremely funny and extremely stubborn.  He can also be extremely sweet and loving.  His pisses (that's how he pronounces kisses ha!) and hugs are the best.  He is a great big brother!  He loves his sissy.

I still can't believe he is three!
