3 year appointment

Don't have pictures for this one, but the stats are mostly for me anyway...so, here goes.

My little boy is still the same big boy that he has been since his 1 month check up. He is still in the 80-90th percentile and still growing like a little weed.

He has been embracing the 3's and has started doing the normal things that a 3 year old does...mainly finding out how far he can go with the two of us. :)

Other than that "testing", Ryan is doing great. He knows a little more than half of the alphabet by sight (or at least that is as much as we know that he knows. He probably knows the whole thing and just doesn't let on to us...stubborn child), he can count to 20, recite his birthday and tell you how old he is along with the number of fingers, knows all of his shapes, all of his colors, knows spanish for at least 4 colors and still learning, can do a little simple addition and subtraction, understands rhyming, opposites and finding "like" objects. He is forever comparing things showing us if they are alike or not and telling us what makes them so. He knows a few verses from memory out of his Bible, knows how to say the whole Blessing without being prompted, and probably many more things that, again, we have no idea he knows because he is JUST. THAT. STUBBORN!!

He really adores Kaitlyn and loves to make her laugh. He is NOT crazy about her touching his things, but we are working on that day-by-day. He likes everything to be "just so". Guess he has a little of his Mommy in him. :)

He is going to school 3 days a week and will continue to do so next year also. He is hoping to learn to swim this summer and talks about it all the time. He wants to go to the park everyday to ride his bike. He ZOOMS up and down the sidewalk so fast that we have no chance of keeping up just by walking.

He is a great little 3 year old. Even on the days when he tries my patience...he looks up like he knows that he has just pushed me to the brink and says "I love you too" along with a hug. (ryan always says " I love you too" even if you haven't previously said I love you. Guess he thinks that is how it goes from him...his part. hahaha so cute!!)
