Today Jordan turned 3! I can't believe that he's already 3. 3 sounds so old :) Here are some of the cute things he says and does. (and by some, I mean a lot. I wrote most of these last week while I was waiting for Doug to get home from basketball, which took a lot longer than I expected. Sorry if you get bored. But I know someday I'll love reading it :))
He calls Kenzie "Kenzie Clay Dance" when she does something she's not supposed to.
He loves peanut butter and most anything with peanut butter in it.
He will do most anything if you ask nicely.
He's good at writing letter without looking at them or having me help him. Last week I asked him to write his name on a picture he'd drawn and he went and wrote it by himself and it was the first time he's ever written his whole name.
He loves bananas and asks for almost every morning before breakfast.
He also loves apple, cheese, and crackers.
Whenever Jordan hears the printer start printing he says "your (or mommy's if I'm not around) coupons!) Then he brings them to me.
He can count to 26.
He loves to sing.
He loves to talk.
He talks and sings loudly most the time.
He's finally starting to do good at staying in bed and being quiet until 8 when we let him and Jack get out of bed.
He doesn't take naps anymore and hasn't consistently for several months.
He hasn't had a binkie for about 2 months too (that's when he stopped taking naps completely.) It was really easy to get him off of it. We actually just lost it and he was ok with sleeping without one (at night) and we haven't found it since. I think it's under his bed.
It really is a good thing he doesn't take naps now. He falls asleep much better at night which means so does Jackson and they are both much happier the next day when they sleep good.
When Kenzie gets sad, he usually will sing Happy and You Know It to cheer her up.
He only likes to watch Dora, Diego, Blue's Clues, and the Letter Factory. Dora is his favorite.
He likes his plate and cup to be the same color for all meals. Blue seems to be his favorite color because he usually chooses the blue plate and cup if he can.
He is generally pretty happy, but he is also a little dramatic. But he usually gets happy again quickly after being dramatic.
He likes going to stores with me but also likes to touch everything if he's walking.
When he gets to choose the activity for Family Home Evening he always chooses Wii Fit Plus.
He likes to play golfing games on the Wii.
He loves playing with building toys.
He loves search and find books.
He loves puzzles.
He likes drawing pictures for me.
He doesn't like to be chased or tickled or lifted up high.
He loves helping me cook dinner.
He's not very good at sitting still and being quiet for very long.
When we ask what he wants for his birthday he says "presents" and then when we ask him what he wants inside of the presents he says he wants his puppy. I don't think he quite understands he gets new things for his birthday.
He likes to play house and always says "I'm the dad." (It's cute how he says it.) He likes me to be the kid.
He likes to play games.
He hates the dark. Whenever we play hide and seek, it's very easy to find him because he's in the room where the light is. He also usually likes to hide in the bathtub which makes him easy to find.
He doesn't like popcorn. I had to add that because I think it's kind of weird. He's the only kid I know of that doesn't like it. Whenever Jack has some when they watch a movie he wants fishies.
He doesn't like to be ignored, even when we're not really ignoring him, but are talking to someone else. He'll keep repeating himself and increasing his volume until we acknowledge what he's saying.
He likes the grandpa primary song.
He likes to protect Kenzie. If she tries to walk away from us or not come with us when we're leaving he'll try to pull or push her along. She doesn't really like it.
He says "Oh! I forget" a lot. Never forgot, always forget.
He wants everyone to be happy.
When he gets in trouble he tells me (or Doug) to talk nice to him. I always tell him I'll talk nice to him if he makes good choices. He always tells me he will make good choices then smiles. The good choices don't usually last very long though.
He says finky for pinky.
If we can tell he has to go potty and tell him to go, he often says "I already went potty" even if it's been a couple hours.
He likes to make people laugh. If he does something and people laugh, he'll keep doing it over and over again.
He's a cute, sweet, fun, happy boy.
