The Lindvall Family: 3 years old

Connor,

You are now three years old and I can't believe how fast the last three years have gone! I love spending my days with you. You are sweet, silly, funny, crazy and loud!!!! You love playing with your big sis, but are also really good at playing by yourself!!

You used to be a mama's boy and wanted me to do most everything for you, but nowadays you are such a daddy's boy!! Many say I baby you and it is so true….you are my sweet, sweet boy and I can't help it! Today you told me I was your number 1 girl and that pretty much made my week!

You loooooove your Daddy and want to be just like him! You want your hat backwards, the top 2 buttons unbuttoned on your shirt, or your shirt off if you're doing 'work.' These are all things that Daddy does. If he is wearing a sweatshirt, you want to also. I can see many air shows and sporting events with him in your future!

The picture below is totally you! You looove sweatshirts and would wear them everyday if you could! We often find you going through your closet or drawer and finding something random to put on!

You are somewhat of a picky eater and would be happy if we let you eat fries, chips or cereal for every meal. Although you are picky, we manage to get a variety of things down you. You are the slowest eater (and honestly take your own sweet time to do many different things). We spend a lot of our mealtime encouraging you to 'hurry, take another bite.'

You are so content staying at home playing with your toys. You tend to be happiest at home with Daddy, Elli, Emery and I. You are happy if things stay just as they are and had a bit of a difficult time in the weeks surrounding Emery's birth. I'm happy to report that you are back to being YOU!! As long as you've had enough sleep, you are pretty easy to deal with! You go to bed around 8:00 or 8:30 and tend to wake up between 8:00 and 9:00. It takes you an hour or so to fall asleep at night….you still take after me in the sleep department!

You love riding your bike and playing outside!

People think you are relatively shy, but around here you are loud and silly. You make up silly words that no one understands and you think you are pretty funny!

You had to wear a tie just like Daddy!

You love playing with all your toys. Connor, you continue to love tractors, cars, boats, trains and planes. Home Depot is your favorite store (well….that and the Disney store)….you always have to 'ride' on the tractors when you go in there.

You told me the other day that you wanted to be a policeman, Daddy, and bad guy when you grow up! These days, you love talking about bad guys…..typically, bad guys are included somewhere in your play.

These pictures were the last two pictures taken of you as a 2 year old!!

You started preschool a few weeks ago and are doing pretty well. You were soooo excited to start, but that excitement has somewhat worn off. You enjoy it, but I think you'd rather be home with me. You don't enjoy learning your ABC's or doing crafts, but I think you are participating just fine in school!
