Jaydon is three and a half and it is crazy how grown up he seems. He loves numbers, games, sports, reading stories, bikes, trains, airplanes, sesame street, angry birds and his family. He is a compassionate boy who remembers when people have something wrong with them and will ask about it for quite awhile after the incident. My mom had heart surgery and it was months later that out of the blue he called and asked grandma how her heart was. Same thing with Auntie Jenny and her gallbladder surgery, he was asking about her recovery for weeks.
Sports are a big part of his day, he loves running around and tackling and playing pretty physically throughout our house with anyone who will play with him, including Lucy! He knows how to be somewhat gentle in tackling and then he knows how to be mighty tough with adults. I am almost at the point where I want him to play football with dad because I get little owies from stray body parts hitting me all over. He has a good memory and loves to talk about all the teams and players that we have heard about
He loves games! We play lots of games and he has gotten to the point where he wants to play multiple games at one time. It isn't uncommon for us to have three games going at once and we will do a couple turns on one game then move to the next and so on until we finish all three. He has decided that playing with dice is more fun than the cards or spinner and is really good at rolling three dice and knowing what they add up to, he is even wanting to work on four dice at a time. He asks us math questions, like what is two and two and four and one and then we will add it all together, just this evening it was what is twenty and twenty and ten? I know I am no slouch in the math department but this kid is going to blow me out of the water.
He loves to read stories and have his snuggles before bed and he is starting to look at words and try to sound some of them out or figure out this whole reading thing though we are still quite a ways off from that. He is a great traveler and always up for an adventure. He wants to go on airplanes a lot (I guess it doesn't hurt that he has traveled by plane more than 10 times) and fondly remembers his visits with family and friends. We have definitely hit the "why" stage and it is fun and tiring all at the same time. I can't believe how fast time is flying by and just how big my little guy is getting.
Lovin' his Seahawks shirts and Elmo slippers
Some cool magnet mosaics
Game time!
Play-doh time
Art projects still aren't his favorite but he is getting more into them, he likes to do them but only lasts about 2 minute on a project before being ready to move on to another activity.
