3 Year Appointment and More

Bryant had some leftover cotton candy from the fair.  He loves it, but it sure makes a sticky mess!

He must still have the fair/rodeo on his mind because the other night he made daddy be the horse and had to ride like a cowboy.

 

Last weekend, we took Bryant just up the road where they have what I think of as a mini airport for little RC planes.  Those guys took their stuff pretty serious, but loved showing off and flying all their fancy toys for Bryant (and Travis).  Right before everyone was leaving, one guy brought out a big glider plane and for some reason, Bryant thought the guy was going to give it to him.  The whole time it was flying, Bryant kept asking "is it mines?".  He was so disappointed when he didn't get to take it home with him, so Trav promised to help him build an airplane at home.

We tested it to see if it would fly...not much luck there, but Bryant had fun with it while it lasted:)

We also set up the kiddie pool to cool off during the weekend.  Bryant had such a great time jumping in over and over again

On Tuesday, I took Bryant to the doctor for his 3 year check-up.  Even though he was really shy with the doctor, he passed with flying colors.  Bryant was 40.5 inches tall (97%) and 36 pounds (85%).  Compared to Travis at 3 years old, they are still so similar.  Travis was 40.75 inches tall and 35 pounds.  Crazy how similar those two are!

Even though Bryant has his stubborn toddler moments, he has become such a big helper around the house.  I love his stories that he tells especially on the way home from school, his little imagination when he plays by himself, and how much he cares for his little brother or sister to be. His new favorite saying is "I'm your best friend" or "I'm not your best friend anymore" depending on whether he is having fun or is mad at you. His best friends at school are Kaleb, Landon, and Drew-boo (apparently that's what they nicknamed Drew) and his girlfriend is Avery.  He is learning lots and isn't afraid to tell you "I know that".  He's a little athlete that can typically be found playing any sport (baseball and basketball are the current favorites) or riding his bike. He talks about how he is going to care for his baby brother (right now he thinks it will be a boy, but that changes sometimes daily).  He said he will carry him to his bed and put him in his high chair and feed him lots of milk.  He is convinced that he will take such good care of his little brother that he won't ever cry.  We'll see if that opinion changes in February:)  Either way, we are so very proud of our caring and fun-loving 3 year old and can't wait to see what the future holds!
