My oldest is already three and a half! Buddy is such a joy to our lives, and we couldn't imagine our lives without him.
Here is a little view into his life right now.
He is a great big brother. For the most part, they share pretty well and just love spending time with one another. Of course, they have their squabbles, but it usually ends up with a hug (with some parent interaction!).
He is also super cuddly. We always have our morning hugs and you can usually find him in one of our laps to read a story or have a tickle. He absolutely loves to laugh. We recently had his grandparents here, and he was just as cuddly with them.
Buddy's energy level has increased ten-fold since his birthday. If he's not in someone's lap, you can usually find him doing a handstand on the couch. Legs are usually going every which way. He's also doing summersaults and he has learned to swing himself on the playground.
We've also just started his first swim lessons, and he is LOVING it.
The child is also extremely logical. He loves to read (he can read any three-letter word with short vowel sounds plus a little bit more), but he also is starting to understand how to reason. He'll often tell you how things work, and he'll justify his actions based on how he sees the world. For example, he's convinced he should be able to go up the slide because other kids do it or why he should be allowed to hit because he's angry. The nice thing though is that we can usually reason with him about why these things aren't okay in context.
Another exciting thing it that he is potty-trained! It's so nice to not have to do diaper changes for him. As a reward to being potty-trained, he now gets to sleep on his top bunk which is very exciting. Button will eventually sleep on the bottom, but for now is enjoying his crib.
Buddy also loves to help. He's also extremely fond of babies, and loves to hover over them while talking and bringing them toys. So cute!
We love you, Buddy!
