* Cal is super affectionate. He is going through a stage right now where he wants you to carry him or give him hugs. This is usually not a problem, except when you are doing something like the dishes or cooking around a hot stove.
* His favorite toy is anything that sings or makes music. He got to pick out a toy for his birthday from Mamo and he chose the ugliest pink Dora guitar, but hey, it plays music! He sits around and pretends to play. It's adorable. His other favorite thing is puzzles. He got puzzles for Christmas and he does them all the time.
* He still adores Yo Gabba Gabba (I actually brought him to YGG Live back in November and he was AMAZED), Dora the Explorer and Baby Einstein videos. The Baby Einstein ones because, again, music!
* Cal isn't a super big eater, but that's okay. He is still 50th percentile for both height and weight so we are not concerned at all. Some of his favorite foods are: Toasted bagels with butter, peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches, raisins, any and all fruit, cheese, and bread. Of course, no vegetables at all. Typical toddler.
* We just started swim class and I was pleasantly surprised how much he likes it. He is not a huge fan of getting his head wet and he can be timid when it comes to new surroundings, but on the first day, he got right into the pool. I think it helps that Jack is also in the class.
* Cal goes to school two days a week. It's playschool and he really enjoys it. The first week, he cried when I would drop him off, but now, he practically RUNS to class. The artwork he brings home is adorable. I really feel like this helps him be more social and comfortable being around other kids and challenging himself.
* Someone mentioned the other day "Oh, you have a threenager?". I had to laugh, because age 3 is exactly like that. Mood swings, tantrums and very sporadic happiness. Cal is generally a very happy kid but man.......If he doesn't get what he wants, he will be very dramatic and throw quite the fit. I think he gets that from me.
* Cal still wakes up about once a night, but that is almost always because his legs hurt. Both my boys get terrible growing pains in their feet and shins. This just started with Cal so I guess that means he is due for a growth spurt. I also need to mention that I am so grateful that he still naps. THANK GOODNESS.
* Cal brings us so much joy and he is incredibly hysterical. He will randomly throw a "thumbs up" with the funniest grin on his face. Cracks me up, every time. He will also say "Oh......my.......goodness!!!!!!!" when something is funny to him.
3 years has flown right by. I swear, it goes so lightning fast and I am always so surprised by it. We love you Calvin Wyatt. Continue to be hysterical and affectionate. WE LOVE YOU!
Enjoy some pictures from Cal's birthday below. We had his favorite meal (sandwiches, lol) per his request and some great strawberry cupcakes.
