Brayden 3 years old


*You wear 4T shirts and 3T shorts, size 10 shoes.
*You love to eat..daycare says they have to feed you last otherwise you are done before the others get their food and want more lol
*You sleep a lot better finally, you had been sleeping with Landon in his full size bed for a few months (around Feb) but then you kept kicking him etc so wed have to put you in your crib then back to sleep with him...was an exhausting. We eventually caved and bought you bunk beds because you had been begging for them after using them at the Great Wolf lodge waterpark.
*The first few nights were rough keeping you in there but after locking you in there a few nights you finally stayed in there and went to bed. (we had to switch the lock around bc you kept locking yourself in the room ugh).
*You still throw tantrums when you don't get your way and for on and on...we don't give in but you just keep at it. It can be exhausting.
*Fav foods- want mac and cheese for every meal... love fruits, apple sauce, cheese sticks. Sausages are an all time fave for breakfast.
*You want to help cook/bake all the time and pull over a chair. You always want to make pancakes and waffles but then wont eat them.
*You love tractors and Captain America. We bought you a power wheels tractor for your bday and we cant keep you off it. You are so proud of it and ride it to the park etc.
*You love to copy your brother and know all of his fav songs..if you ever hear Old town road or body like a back road you run over to Landon and say Landon Landon.
*You like to watch bus on our phones! Youre great at playing like toddler learning apps too.
*They claim you are the best at using scissors at school.
*You love water and going to the pool and using water guns.
*You love to be read to but you go through phases of wanting the same book every night.
*You're counting, like to sing your abcs and other songs-You are my sunshine etc.
*You love play dough and anything art-painting
*We have to turn things into games like I am going to win at putting on pjs fasted, going upstairs, brushing teeth etc.
*You have been potty trained since around Feb or so..it was extremely easy. You still wear a diaper at night but are dry most times. You still will have an occ accident if you are busy at the park or doing something.
*We are officially paci free! We had it down to just bed time but you were soo hooked. We started throwing away old "broken ones" and were down to just a few. We tried to bribe you to pick out a toy to give up the rest or give them to cousin baby Charlie. Then around May/June we kinda just stopped giving it to you and when youd ask wed distract you and say oh lets go read books..you didn't really put up much of a fusss and eventually you just stopped asking for them. A few times since you have randomly asked for one but we just change the subject.
