3 Years Old

A little about Three Year Old Chase

• Has a major sweet tooth and really loves cookies and donuts. Other favorites are cold cereal, oatmeal (or opimeal as he calls it), cuties, hummus, sloppy joes, quesedillas and peanut butter.
• Favorite toys are all "big" machines- excavator, combine, tractors, bull dozer, train set, etc. 
• Favorite shows are Mickey Mouse Club House and Jake and the Neverland Pirates. 
• Favorite friends to play with are Will and Matt Newbold and Edyn and Emersyn Edgmon.

• Loves to run errands with me, go to friends houses and Nana and Papas house- pretty much never wants to come back home. Kid likes to be out and about!
• Loves his little brother and is growing into the role of Big Brother really well. He loves to make Hudson happy and we are working on sharing toys with him. Whenever he makes him smile he reports back to me, "Mom! I made my brother happy! He's happy!"
• Loves playing outside and story time.

• Is very creative and has a great imagination. A few weeks ago he needed to "plow" the snow of his new train tracks so the train could go through. He "plowed" the "snow" with his bulldozer, then scooped it up with his excavator and put it in the back of his dump truck to take it elsewhere to dump. 
• Loves to sing and knows the words to many primary and Christmas songs. His favorites are "I love to see the Temple" "I am a Child of God" "Deck the Halls" and "O Christmas Tree".
• Wants to do everything by himself. Unless it's looking for a lost toy- then he wants mom to do it.

• Still takes a 1-2 hour nap every afternoon. Bedtime is a struggle of us putting him back to bed 3-25 times every night before he finally falls asleep. We try to put him down between 8:00-8:30, but he doesn't fall asleep until after 9:00 most nights.
• When he gets out of bed we threaten that we will take a toy away every time he gets out of bed. When I tell him to go back to bed or I'll take a toy away he responds with a sly smile saying, "Which one?" He's asking to see if it's worth it to him to obey.
• Can count to 20, knows all his alphabet sounds, and is pretty sure he knows everything about the world. 

This little one really is incredible! We have so loved having this little wonder in our family! He has made every day so much richer, more exciting and more colorful. We love you little Chase! 

(and if he heard that he would immediately correct me that he isn't little- he's a big boy)
