Fun things that make Philip uniquely three: He loves wearing his slippers all day long. He has Elmo slippers and Woody cowboy boot slippers that he wears all day long and even sleeps in them. He tries to take every toy he owns to bed with him. He likes to run around the house in his Tigger Halloween costume which he calls the "wonderful Tigger" costume. He still doesn't like getting his hair washed in the tub. He likes to tell us he doesn't like something we give him to eat based on appearance alone, before he's even tasted it. He likes to inform mommy when she's being "bad" and needs a time out (lovely!). He has to give Andrew a big, wet kiss on the lips before Andrew goes to bed. He has to sleep with two of his "buddies" (lovies) at night. He rarely takes his nap without some kind of a protest. He would eat Eggos every morning if we let him. He loves to read books. He can memorize one in only a few readings. Sometimes he'll recite them without even having the book in front of him. He loves to sing songs at preschool. He can recite all of the Lord's Prayer. He's become increasingly confident on the playground. He wants to do the monkey bars by himself ("like Caillou"). He loves Sprout. He loves the Little Mermaid and sleeps with a stuffed Ariel doll at night.He loves to swing more than anything else outside. He asks us every time we drop him off somewhere without us (preschool, church nursery, childcare at the gym), if we're going to come back for him. He always wants to know where Andrew is when he notices he's not around (he's napping). He loves to make cookies and pancakes with daddy. He loves to visit Nettie and Cricket. His Papa is his buddy. He already wants to drive. He's learning how to dress himself and prefers to put his underwear and pants on by himself. He's not a fan of having his teeth flossed. He's fine with wearing a knit hat in 80 degree weather. He loves his Crocs. He has to have socks on at all times lately. He could play in the tub for hours if we let him. When he's excited about something he gets to do he shouts "Best day ever!"
He's growing up too fast.
