Jack 3.5

I can't believe our little boy is 3 1/2!  He is so sweet, polite, considerate and caring.  

Fairly often, we can hear Jack singing the Superman theme song over the monitor when he's waking up or going to sleep.

The Tuesday after Mother's Day, Jack woke me up from his afternoon nap by telling me he was ready to go potty.  This is actually a first (that he initiated) and I could hear in his voice that something was different.  From that moment forward he has been potty trained (except for sleep times).  I'm sure it's something I could have pushed before now, but honestly.. I didn't have 20 minutes x 6 times/day to sit in the bathroom with him.  Not happening.    

He's on the verge of getting his big boy room.  It's perfect timing too because I really feel like up until this point, I would have been picking the theme for him and now he gets to choose what HE wants. 

 

 Some of his his favorite shows are Max and Ruby, Little Bear and Peppa Pig. 

He constantly "flies" around our house and we have to call him Superman.

Everything he wears is a 3T except for his shorts.  Those are usually a 2T (for his scrawny hiney!)

He recently spent his first night in a hotel for aunt Amy and uncle Matt's wedding!  What a great weekend and we had NO problems with him adjusting to the hotel room!  Man, I'm glad we haven't had to travel with him until now.  

He is really into superman. I mean, really into Superman!!

This is his Superman curl!

He has excellent grammar and even said the following sentence to me the other day:  "By playing with this garbage truck, I can learn more about how they operate".  No joke. I don't know any other three-year-olds who speak like that...  He needs to find some friends his own age.  Just sayin'.

He occasionally will wake up in the middle of the night and think there is a dinosaur in his room :(

He chooses to be naked fairly often.  I think this must be a boy thing.  Not sure.  

 

He is still a pretty big Momma's boy. He doesn't like being left anywhere and doesn't want to venture out on his own very often.  

He still loves being outside, going for walks, playing at the park and playing with water toys.

He has what I would consider to be fairly good grammar for a three-year-old.  He also enunciates better then most kids and is often mistaken for being older (plus he's tall).  He still has a little trouble with the /l/ and /s/ sounds although the s's are getting better.  But he does have a little brother "Wuke" ;)

He had his first major crush (and heartbreak) over his new Uncle Matt's sister, Christina.  No joke... for many, many days after their wedding, he would just say out of nowhere "I miss Ms. Christina."  It wasn't whiney, it wasn't sarcastic, it was just pure and sincere heartache for her.  So... admission time... I had to Facebook stalk Amy's page to find a picture of Christina (preferable wearing the dress she had on at the wedding... cuz I'm pretty sure that's when he fell in love with her..) and I saved it to my phone so he can look at it whenever he feels the urge :) 

A few Jackisms:  

He calls the "Statue of Liberty" the Statue of Wildebeests.  

He calls overalls "over-girls"

If he's trying to say he doesn't have "any" of something, he uses the word "ninny".
