My Big Boy is 3!

It's hard to believe that Ethan is 3 years old!  It seems like just yesterday he could barely speak a few words or walk without fear of tripping.  My how he's grown!

Ethan now wears 3T/4T clothing and size 8 shoes.  We are starting to get out of the toddler (T) sizes and into regular big boy clothes.

Ethan speaks a mile a minute!  He's able to put his thoughts and emotions into words.  He can tell you when he's excited, sad, angry, disappointed and exactly why.

He climbs, jumps, rolls, hops...everything that terrifies the momma of a boy!

Ethan loves to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Little Einsteins, Cailou, and Yo Gabba Gabba

He loves to tell you about his day and the friends he hung out with.  When days go by and Ethan hasn't seen someone in awhile, he will constantly ask about them.  He met a friend's daughter once and asks about her all.the.time!

Ethan has really started to delve into imaginative play.  He can use his Handy Manny tools to fix the "broken" table or make tea in the middle of bath time!

He favorite toys of the moment are skeletons, helicopters, trucks, ambulances, and fire trucks.

Ethan is becoming extremely independent, which can be very difficult when trying to wrangle Ethan and Andrew at the same time.  He would prefer to not hold your hand when walking through a parking lot and seems to know many safety rules.  Ethan is extremely demanding and expects attention on him at all times.  When Ethan doesn't get what he wants, he becomes quite the little spit fire!

Ethan still loves Chipotle just like he did as a small baby.  He also enjoys Pop Tarts and yogurt.

Ethan is completely potty trained, nighttime included!  I'm so proud of my guy!  Ethan also loves to undresses himself before bath.  In fact, if you attempt to help him, you'll get an earful!

Ethan is such a loving soul.  He absolute LOVES his little brother and enjoys making him laugh.

Ethan is starting to be able to sing songs melodically, specifically the ABCs and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.  He is extremely inquisitive and loves to learn about everything.  His new favorite question is, "why?!"

Ethan continues to wake in the middle of the night for random reasons.  Most recently he comes in our room to my side of the best, looks at me until I wake up, then runs back to his bed to be tucked in.  Very little, if anything, is actually spoken.  I'm not sure if it is a security thing or what but combing that with Andrew waking, this Momma's exhausted!

I love watching Ethan grow and develop into this independent, inquisitive little person.  Watching his little brother grow up makes me realize that it was not long ago when Ethan was doing the same things.  I can't even fathom what changes will come our way as he grows!
