In less than a week our little guy will be 3, which I just can't believe! I can't believe how time flies and how much he has grown in the course of a year. I thought at 2 he was such a kid, but now he really is a kid. I often tell him that I want to freeze him right now (which he freaks out because he wants to grow big) because I just love this age.
He is at a point of complete understanding and able to carry on conversations. He asks "why" about everything, which is sometimes annoying, but overall I love it because how great is it that he is asking questions, I normally though just have to make up stuff because I have no idea about most of the things he asks about or if I say "I don't know" he will say "let's get the ipad and google it."
He has mastered the art of negotiating and procrastinating. It amazes me how well he can negotiate with me with logical arguments which usually I give in because I am more amazed that he has such a well thought out argument. The kid can procrastinate. Our going to bed ritual has turned into an hour of Oak getting in and out of his bed. It is really cute though. He just sneaks into wherever we are with the sweetest smile, like you can't be mad at me because I am being really cute. Honestly, I really love it if I can get past the fact of how late it actually becomes by the time he actually goes to sleep! I remember when he was little saying that I couldn't wait till he was old enough to run around saying that he wasn't going to bed and I couldn't wait until he would wake up in the morning and come and jump in our bed! It is so sweet, except not when it is earlier than 7:00, that drives me a little crazy!
What Oak has been into this year:
A game called dark, dark woods (played with little people and eww toys)
Dinosaurs
stories and shows (where he tells us what to do and we act it out with his people)
Robots (the movie, seriously I think we might have watched it 200 times. It is also a little freaky that he really likes the "chop shop" scenes which are a little scary he usually skips the "pages" to get to those scenes)
Disney Movies (mostly toy story, but also loves peter pan, a bug's life, monsters inc. and the incredibles)
Frog on a Log (a game that he and Brian play, where he jumps on Brians back while pretending to be a frog jumping on a log while brian tells a story)
The Ipad (he can work this thing better than I can)
Jake and the Neverland Pirates
Bugs & Insects (he loves bugs and even Lawson gave him a bug book, toy bugs and a game when she was born. He loved her instantly)
As of more recently he loves:
Superheroes (he loves Spiderman and Batman and he likes to pretend to be superboy)
Dark Spooky things (This concerns us a little bit and we feel as though we might have the next Tim Burton on our hands, but we guess it is better than him being afraid of things)
Knights
Cute/Crazy/Embarrassing things that Oak has said recently:
*Upon seeing a dead bug he asked "When is that bug going to be alive again like Jesus"
*He asked one of our nurses at the hospital why she had a black face.
*In front of a bunch of people at the hospital who didn't know I had a c-section he asks to see the hole that baby Lawson came out of
*He loves to tell jokes, his most recent ones:
Why couldn't the key stick in the hole? Because it was banana...(he proceeds to say "get it, it was a banana..get it?)
What did the frog jump on? A ball
What did the rabbit jump on? A carrot
He told me these last night while procrastinating going to bed and as I walk away I hear "Those were really funny jokes")
He really does say some of the craziest things! We love this kid and hope you enjoy these sweet pictures of our sweet kid!
