Declan at 3.1-3.3 Years

Dear Declan: 3.1 - 3.3

• You weigh 29.8 pounds
• You sleep from 7:00/7:30pm - 6:30am during the week and a nap from 12:30-2:30; on the weekends we keep you up until 8 or 9 and you usually wake up right at 10-11 hours but will just play in your bed and let us sleep in for a little bit longer. (thanks for that!)
• You are still wearing size 8 shoe but starting to wear size 9 and size 2T shirts and pants.
• We've celebrated Christmas and New Years! 
• You've had 2 more ear infections and the flu these past few months.
• You still love going to school - you just don't like getting up and getting ready!
• We started potty training on December 28th and you only had a few accidents the first day and not very many the next few days after. 
• You are talking so much these past few months!!
• You love singing Jingle Bells and The Itsy Bitsy Spider songs.
• You love counting and saying the ABC. You love to play pretend with your toys.
• You hate having your teeth brushed and washing your hands but I'm all over it making sure your teeth and hands are clean.
• You recently have asked to not sleep in your sleep sack because you said you get hot it in. 
• You started soccer this past month, you love kicking the ball in the net but you don't like listening to the rules or playing with the other kids!

These last 3 months went by so fast! We were on vacation the week of Christmas and went to Benton and Hot Springs. You had so much fun with Gigi and Pepaw! You got to see your aunts, uncles and cousins.  We stopped by Hot Springs for a few hours to see Papa and Nana. You loved opening gifts and help everyone else open their gifts! We started potty training while we were on break. Now today, you are almost all the way potty trained! You LOVE getting prizes for pooping in the potty too.

Declan - You have the kindest heart! I fell asleep on the couch one Saturday afternoon and you put the blanket on me and kissed me on the forehead! Makes me want to melt! You still love your Paw Patrol, Trolls, and you take Monkey everywhere. You're getting over some of your fears but still don't like mascots but you love looking for them while we are at the games and events!
