Ha… I turned 30 last week. I didn’t magically shrink or wrinkle up either. Thank God.
Cute son turns 3 next week. Subhanallah. I had no idea the time would go this quick. I feel like I was just pregnant with him. Having a kid completely rearranged my life. At three, cute son’s milestones are:
- Potty Trained! Woohoo! Not loving the accidents though. He does have the good grace to be upset when it happens.
- Motormouth. ‘Nuff said.
- Draws circles very fast.
- Loves all vehicles, for real and play
- Can express himself verbally very well. Just added ‘actually’ to his vocabulary. (I want water. Actually, I want juice.) Its amazing how he just absorbs so much. He understands a lot of Arabic from his father even if he doesn’t produce yet.
- Has some bedtime issues. Won’t sleep in own bed. Everynight, no matter what bed, we get in arguments, mostly because he is tired and short circuiting. Nothing goes right during the short circuit.
- Can dress himself on the bottom half: shoes, underwear and pants. Shirts are still a bit harder.
- Can undress himself in about 4.5 seconds flat.
- Throws incredible tantrums that I let him work out. I am that person in the store that will not give in to a tantrum… and if you are behind me at jerko WalFart, deal with it because I am not giving up my place in line due to the tantrum of an almost three year old.
- Can ride his big boy tricycle. *sniffle* His wittle feet never used to touch the ground.
- Holds conversations on the phone with me and family members.
- Can actually stop time while screaming — so that 5 minutes feels like 45.
- Knows he is pushing my buttons – he is a dream child with other people.
- Please and thank you and would you like.
- Chews gum. (no flames please…its better than candy by a LONG shot)
- Walk and chews gum. hahah.
- Can throw overhanded well.
- Kicks much better than a few months ago.
- Play hokey pokey really well.
- Sings constantly.
- Is the last monkey jumping on the bed.
- Cause and effect. “If I roll off the bed, I am gonna get an accident.” (TRUE QUOTE!! From TONIGHT!)
Cute son can be so much fun. I am so proud of him when I see him with other kids around here and see how polite and loving he is. He has his share of not sharing, but he doesn’t hit and scream MINE… and most of his bad behavior is only at home. Its something to work on.
