Happy birthday Dawson. He is three years old today!! Here are some fun things about Dawson at three years old.
1. Dawson was just very recently potty trained. It took a while but now he's a champ. He is so proud that he can go potty just like all the other big kids around him.
2. Dawson loves to pretend. He likes to pretend to be animals set as cats and dinosaurs. He also loves the show curious George, and he will pretend to be short and act like George, which gets really silly.
3. Dawson adores his siblings. Jackson is so good with him at bedtime. Some nights Jaxton will read to Dawson in his bed and pray with him and tuck him in. It is sweet to see how much Dawson cares for his biggest brother and role model.
4. Dawson is way into dinosaurs these days. He loves dinosaurs. He brings his dinosaurs everywhere he goes. He will make them talk and play. He definitely prefers the cute nice toy dinosaurs over the scary T Rex dinosaurs.
5. Dustin's favorite thing in the kitchen is his warm milk, just as it was for all his siblings. He has to have a "bubble cup quote for his milk. The Cannot be old or bitten, but has to be new and clean. The milk temperature has to be just perfect. Then he will chug that milk down so fast! If his milk is not just right, often the tantrums arise. More tantrums over milk then over anything else in his day. Got to have his milk!
6. Dawson is super goofy. He tells us that he is "goofy like Cooper." And he really is. He loves to crack jokes, and he is only 3!. His favorite word to joke around with is "bum." He will call everything "Bum Bum." He will say funny things like, "I eat markers," and then crack into a cute laughing fit. He laughs at his own jokes, but he finds great satisfaction when others laugh at his jokes too. It is darling.
7. His favorite TV show is by far Curious George. He like it so much that sometimes he even begins to talk just like the monkey from the show. He will use weird sounds to try to tell us what he wants, instead of words. So we actually have been taking a break from that show and watching Caillou, which he equally loves. But Caillou uses words for everything, so maybe he will try acting like Caillou. :-)
8. Dawson's favorite breakfast is oatmeal with chocolate chips. He also loves honey cheerios. He likes all kid food and is a messy boy eater. But he's an excellent eater. Some nights he will eat more than all the kids combined.
9. Dawson's favorite color is yellow. He loves to play the acorn board game. And he loves his duplo legos. He enjoys books too. One thing he kind of dislikes is his dog Bella. He does not like her to go under his bed and gets really mad when she comes into his room. He doesn't like her on the couch next to him either.
10. Lastly, Dawson is a curious little three year old. He will discover something interesting like the bathroom water faucet will spray when you cover the spicket, and so he will spray the entire bathroom including himself. Then he gets to practice drying everything off. :-) He will get really quiet playing with the dog's canned food, and I find him building a tall tower out of cans. One time he discovered that marker showed up really well on the white couches we have and he made a nice design on those, that he also had to practice cleaning up. I love this age so much. It is challenging, but at the same time it is so much fun to see him learn new things each and every day!
Happy Birthday Dawson!! We love you so very much!
