{Austin 34 Months}

Dear Austin,

I still can't believe that in just a few short months you will be three. My BABY will be THREE! How? This can't be!!!

You are really outgrowing your twos pretty quickly. You are not really into throwing tantrums much anymore, and are pretty cooperative. Most of the time. We think you act like a 5 year old, because you spend 99% of your time with one! You will tell everyone that your best friends are Gavin's 5yr old friends. To be honest, they are all so sweet to you and play with you all the time, that it makes total sense.

You are into firetrucks, fires, doctors, construction, trains, water/soap, dirt/sand, and riding your balance bike. You can usually be found playing outside, and you love to cook in the outdoor kitchen.

You talk talk talk all day long. It seems like a billion years ago that you were not talking much, and I forget what those days are like! You don't stop from 6am to 8pm. Singing songs, repeating us, and mostly repeating your brother.

You are loving Mountain School on Friday's, and you are usually so busy that I don't see you much. You stopped going to Mulberry School on Tuesday/Thursday because you were not really enjoying it very much...and you especially HATED to go there without momma...so we decided that one school is enough for you!

We spend the entire week doing fun things in the mornings while G is at school. Lots of museums, parks, zoo, and playdates. You are also pretty happy going to the grocery with me once a week. You do ALL the shopping, and push your own cart around.

You are still a great sleeper. You go to bed at 8pm and get up at 6am. You take a 2-4hr nap every day in your bed! You just had a bad cold for a week, so I slept with you, and boy oh boy did you love that! Now that you are not sick, you don't ask me to anymore;)

You are in six 3T, 4 diapers, and size 10 shoes. You weigh around 30 pounds? You feel a LOT heavier to me!

You are saying the funniest things. You love to pretend play, and we are always laughing with you.

We love you Austie!

Momma & Daddy
