SJ is 3-Years-Old

SJ turned three in March, so I wanted to write down some thoughts about his cute little personality at 3-years-old. He's got a great sense of humor, loves the color green and talking about colors in general. He has assigned a different color to everyone he's close too. I'm pink and Scott is blue and apparently no one can have the same favorite color so we run out of colors to assign to people pretty quickly :)

SJ knows most of his letters and we are working on the sounds of them. He loves Little Gym, which is gymnastics class. He can do a forward role, donkey kick, assisted back hand spring and assisted bar/beam exercises. He loves crafting, painting, playing with cousins, playing with grandparents and jumping on the trampoline. His best friends at school are Dylan and Eve. He likes to tell us about his adventures with Dylan and Eve every time he gets home from school. He says Eve is "the pretty girl at school". He starts official preschool at Summit Academy in August of 2015. I think he's ready to be in a more structured school environment.

He is still obsessed with the ninja turtles and every time we see a sewer in the ground he calls it a turtle hole and genuinely thinks ninja turtles live down there. His favorite ninja turtle is Mikey because he's a "party dude".

He's definitely got a case of the why's and what's and literally asks questions all day every day. He's afraid of bugs for some reason (maybe because his mom is haha), but he's even afraid of rolly-pollies and ants. Now we've moved on to spiders and bees which is at least more rational :)

I love him so much!

2-Year-Old SJ

SJ is 2-years-old and he loves singing the ABC's and can count to 15 or so. He loves telling knock-knock jokes and loves his grandparents very much. He likes playing with cars and ninja turtles and loves Winnie the Pooh, Mickey Mouse, Elmo, Yo Gabba Gabba. He also loves singing along to those shows. We regularly catch SJ walking around the house singing "Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh..." to himself in his cute little singing voice. 

 SJ is in pre-school two days a week and no longer uses a bottle. He has a big boy bed, but he doesn't sleep in it very well. We are working on that. He knows his colors and his animals well. He loves farms and singing and talking about animals. He loves singing "Old McDonald Had a Farm" and loves jumping on the trampoline. He also loves putting coins in his piggy bank. His favorite book right now is "Brown Bear, Brown Bear - What Do You See?" and he has already been to Disneyland TWICE!! 

We love him so much and he is the greatest joy in our lives. Thank you universe!
