Drew // 3.5 Years Old

Oh baby boy. What a year it's been. Your verbal skills and smarts are out of control and you blow our minds weekly with language. Even just tonight you looked at the soccer ball and said "pentagons!". We had no idea you even knew what a pentagon was. You are still our nervous little man who takes a while to warm up to new people or activities, but your sweetness has never wavered. We knew it was coming, but you've had quite a few whiny spells and have had "trying days" for the past 4 months or so. The tantrums are fairly minimal, though, and the majority of the time you're still an angel. We've been working on reading and you've gotten very good with short words.

You still love to eat and fruits/sweets are your favorite. We've been having you help us with chores here and there and you do a great job with them. You still absolutely love to mow with daddy and clean anything. I swear the broom and duster are your favorite 'toys'! You've gotten so much better at speed running and seem to trip less lately. (I still blame your grandpa for giving his clumsiness to me and then continuing that on to you!) Although team TBall was touch and go, you love playing it out back and hopefully when we try it again you will warm up to the coach and other players quickly.

Happy half birthday little man. I know your world is about to be rocked, but I can't wait for you to meet your baby sister!

Love you Drewdlebug!
