3 months til 3

I can't believe May is so quickly approaching. A few weeks ago I realized that Andrew is now closer to 3 than 2. WOW. So, I wanted to take the time to catch you up on my sweet sweet boy.

Andrew is still my little cuddle bug. He loves to snuggle up and watch TV. His best friend has seeming had a name change from "lamby" to "Lamb." It almost makes me cry. Andrew continues to have a passion for cars and loves to push (& bury) them in the sand, in play dough, in the bath and takes as many as his little hands can carry with him to bed each night. He is a fickle eater - he used to love mandarins and doesn't so much anymore. He likes yogurt and MILK. He likes to climb on a stool in the pantry and pick out his own breakfast. "All by myself" has become familiar words around our house. This week I've noticed how much he wants Lila to play with him and she just can't hang yet. He got on a riding toy and pulled one up for Lila and said "let's race." When he doesn't want to get dressed in the morning he says "after later." He loves going to school and when we are the first to arrive he asks, "where is everybody?" He has a big book of Disney stories his Gigi gave him a while back that he likes to read at night. Every night he looks for the "big" book. I am the one to put him to bed during the week while Drew is at school. We read a story then say our prayers before singing a few songs. Each night I ask him who he wants to pray for and without fail his first choice is "dad." A few weeks ago Drew & I noticed that the uncontrollable fits have nearly subsided - thank you, God, for getting us through those. Things seem to be a little easier these days. He still has his moments (don't we all). Still many lessons for all of us to learn but I am thinking we've got Terrific Three's in our future.
