Miller: 3 years old

Our baby is THREE years old! And he's still very much the baby :)

He is the silliest little boy and brings us so much JOY! He keeps us laughing and has so. much. personality. 

He is 27 pounds. He is our smallest boy at this age and wears all 2t clothes.

I think he has given up naps. I'm so bummed. G and B slept until they were 4.5, so this seems wayyyyy too soon. He's still pretty good about having rest time in his bed for about 2 hours and holding it together until bedtime without napping. In the last 2 months, he's only napped a handful of times.  

He says "undie-wears" and I will be so sad when he learns the right way. 

He LOVES fish. Especially "baby fish". 

He still sleeps in the pack and play.... but will move to a big bed soon. He sleeps great and loves his "little room in the bafroom" (he sleeps in our closet). Why mess with a good thing? haha

He is awesome on the balance bike, and I have no doubt he will soon jump on a regular bike easily.

Every morning when I get done teaching (I have lipstick on) and I pick him up and try to kiss him, he pulls away and says "nooooo, you have chap-stips on"

He earned himself the title of "first busted open ____" of any of our boys. He busted the back of his head open 1 week ago by jumping off the couch and hitting the coffee table just right. Grayson started screaming and when we rushed in the sunroom, we saw blood everywhere. Chad got the bleeding under control, and our friend (and nurse) Sammi who lives close came over and fixed him up. SO, SO thankful for her! It has healed so great and is almost cleared up. 

He wants to sing "Jesus Loves Me" every night before bed. 

He also has collected quite a few things he wants to sleep with and is particular in how he wants them tucked in beside him. He wants to be tucked in with his "little blankie, big blankie, then taggie on top". 

He is opinionated... especially about who brings him things. He wants me to bring his breakfast plate each morning (Chad better not try to put in on the table in front of him). But if one of his grandparents is around, he wants them to do things. 

Over the last few months, he has mostly sat with us through church services. I still can't believe we make it through. I have a bag of crafts and activities and they've all done so well, but Miller amazes me. We finish an hour and a half service where I didn't have to get up with him once during the sermon, and I'm amazed. (Now we are probably a little distracting to the people behind us, but kids have to learn, right?)

He loves his bros, riding in daddy's car, driving the gator, his orange Clemson hoodie, caterpillars and worms, playing with a fish, "Tiny" his stuffed dog, throwing stuff in the pond, playing cars, lego duplos, swinging

TWO is a an exhausting, non-stop age... but SO much fun and SO cute. We will miss 2 year old Miller but can't wait to see what 3 year old Miller is like :)
