Brenna and Liam’s 3 yr old update

I’ve been slacking (AGAIN!)  We are usually a bit late on the yearly appts because of the way our insurance and the year to date appointments.

Up first…..the oldest by one minute anyway.

Liam, age 3   Weight 36 pounds  Height 38 inches

Liam is doing great, he is still very talkative and loves to sing just about any song he has ever heard.  I am happy to say he is TOTALLY out of diapers.  He has been pee trained for about 6 months, the other part has been a challenge, but about a week after his birthday he “got it” and also decided he didn’t need them at nighttime either.

He loves to read books, he will look at them by himself, but loves to sit on someone’s lap to read.  Right now he is really into the Max and Ruby books.  He also likes books that rhyme.  When I read something that rhymes, he will say the two words and then say….”that rhymes”.  He loves to watch Team Oomie Zoomie on television and likes to make patterns with food and toys.  He is learning his states and knows 21 states.

He is still a pretty happy kid other than when other kids take his toys….which with two siblings does happen.  He usually is polite and has good manners.  He does come up with the funniest things, I need to start writing them down.

Brenna, age 3    Weight 26 pounds   Height 34 3/4 inches

Brenna is doing well too.  She is a very girly girl.  She is into her princesses and thinks she is a princess.  She loves to play with her dollhouse and princess dolls, whether they are big or small.  It’s funny to listen to her talking to all the dolls, she has a great imagination and lives in the world of make believe.

She is a bit feisty and does have a temper when things don’t go her way, we are working on this.  She has been potty trained during the day for several months now.  When the pull ups run out we are going to see what happens at night….I am dreading this, she sleeps with a water bottle….going to have to swipe this too.

She does like to read, her favorite story is Pinkalicious.  She loves to play with playdoh and paint.  She has quite an arm and seems pretty athletic, she loves to jump really high on the trampoline, and has no fear.  Her favorite food is peanut butter, she would eat it all day if we let her.

 

We are hoping to sign them both up for t-ball this summer along with VBS.  I have been looking into three year old preschools and hope to have them in a two day program for a few hours in the fall.  We are looking forward to having fun this summer.  We are heading to Chicago over Memorial Day weekend and trying to rent a house on the lake in Traverse City for a week, something new, we usually stay at a hotel for 3 nights. 

The weather is getting nicer and even the kids are getting excited.  Every day they ask if the weatherman says they can play outside.  This is who I blame when I don’t want to go outside….I say the weatherman said “no”.
