This little boy just turned three. It seems he has become a toddler overnight. I love this age because he is so excited about everything - balloons, cake, presents. It was all a huge deal for him and he was so excited all day long.
"I'm three!"
Opening presents. I love how the other boys are always hovering nearby.
Andrew loves trucks, trailers, and especially motorcycles.
His own set of Star Wars Legos! He kept stealing clone troopers from the other little boys, so he was pleased to finally have his own.
And this is the best. Andrew loves sports like the other boys. He loves to play soccer, football, and basketball with them and likes to follow their favorite teams. Matthew is a big fan of the San Francisco 49ers, so Andrew has decided that they are one of his favorite teams too. A few weeks ago we asked Andrew what he wanted for his birthday and he kept telling us a football helmet. I was in the store one day and happened upon this this little football set and showed it to Andrew. He thought we were buying it for him that day and was very disappointed we had to leave it at the store. So of course his last birthday present had to be...a football helmet! With matching jersey!
Our little football player
Andrew decided to take off the outfit long enough to blow some of his bubbles outside. I love those cute toddler cheeks!
We came back inside for the building of the Lego set.
And cake and ice cream of course!
And this is how we ended the day. Love it!
Some fun things about Andrew right now:
His favorite joke:
-Knock, Knock
-Who's there?
-Crab.
-Crab who?
-Crab your towel, we're going to the beach!
Color: blue or turquoise
Things to play with: Legos, balls, cars, trucks, motorcycles
Outside: He loves to ride his trike. He used to go at it Flinstones style, but recently has long enough legs and skills to pedal.
Siblings known as Mafoo, Wyan, and Za-twee
He is a great singer. He picks up on songs quickly and can sometimes outdo his brothers in Family Home Evening. His current favorites are Samuel Tells of Baby Jesus, I Stand All Amazed, I Will Follow God's Plan. He also has a very strong opinion about what songs he would like to listen to in the car.
He loves to pretend. He is always a baby monkey, a puppy, a cat, a tiger, or dressed up as a knight, a Jedi, or sports guy.
He can also be very particular about his outfits matching together - ie gray shirt, gray pants, and gray socks. He has been known to change his underwear as well. One night we had to make sure he was wearing Superman underwear to coordinate with his Superman pajamas.
He still likes to play with my hair, especially if he needs to be comforted. I love that he reaches for it when I pick him up to give him a hug or dry his tears. It is such a tender memory.
Andrew is such a fun boy and we love him so much!
