Since his third birthday Andrew has started Sunbeams at church, instead of going to nursery. He is one of the youngest in his class but he's also one of the most attentive- he is just such a good listener and a rule follower. He also aged up to the next class at My Gym. He's now in an independent class, which means I don't actually go on the gym floor with him (which is great because Brandon is too active to continue sitting in the Ergo for that whole hour) and he's doing so well. He has started actually talking to his teachers and participating without needing to look to me every time. And he loves going!
He had his first Valentine this year. His best friend is a girl and if we ask him if he loves Addie or if she is his girlfriend, he always says yes! So we made her some hand painted paper flowers for Valentine's Day. These two are so cute together!
Andrew loves to sing! He's starting to learn songs from the radio now, especially ones that Aaron and I sing along to, like Stressed Out (21 Pilots) and Hello (Adelle). He also sings along to our ringtones (Airplanes by BOB and Brave by Sara Bareilles). That is, of course, in addition to his usual repetoire of the ABC song and other kid songs. And he sometimes even breaks out singing songs from primary. He just loves singing!
We finally got Andrew to stop sucking on his fingers at night! I thought this was going to be super difficult but I got him to sleep with a mitten on his right hand for a while and that broke the habit! I really wanted him to stop since things like that can start messing with teeth and bite once they get to be three years old.
I know people talk about the terrible threes (and we've definitely had some rough times, especially since he stopped napping) but in general I'm loving this age! Andrew loves being a little helper and he is a great big brother. He loves planes, trains, cars, monsters, dinosaurs, and riding his bike. He has even started voluntarily eating vegetables! I sure love this boy of mine!
