Happy Birthday, Little P!

Today is Parker's third birthday. I sit here and think, "How in the world do I have a 3 year old?" But, then I think back to the night he was born and that seems like decades ago. I haven't given a Parker update in a long time. So, here are his 3 year old favorites:

• He still sleeps a good 3-4 hours in the afternoon.
• He loves TV and videos. I love them too, because they work as bribes.
• Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets
• His favorite songs are anything by Todd Fields.
• He can name and identify all of the planets, lower and uppercase letters, and about 20 musical instruments.
• He's learning to use the potty. He went twice today!!! Yay!!!
• He has to get out of the house everyday. He starts asking to get in the car if we haven't gone anywhere by 11am.
• He's still afraid of new shoes, unless they're crocs. Then he becomes obsessed.
• He likes to pick out his own shirts, but still can't put them on himself.
• He's obsessed with the villains in TV shows and videos. There's a song that says, "Hell could come against us". He now points and screams, "It's Hell!" to be funny. Not so funny in public.
• He also likes to act like he needs help when we are in parking decks. He starts screaming, "Hello? Is anybody there? Help! I need help!" You should see all the soccer moms run.
• He doesn't say, "I love you" quite as much, but when he does say it, I know he really means it.

We love our little boy!
