Caden's 3 Year Old List

As a 3 year old, he loves a lot of different things, here are some of his faves:

• Super Heroes, mainly the Avengers and Captain America
• Transformers "in disguise" as he always says :)
• Playing with his Lego Duplos (especially to make airplanes, shooters and houses/garbage dumps/buildings)
• Playing outside in the dirt with his cars, trucks and kid-sized water can, shovels and rakes
• Helping Mama water the flowers, fruit trees and vegetables in our garden
• Protesting at both nap time and bed time...Caden says, "I don't want to go to bed", Mommy asks, "Are you tired?", Caden says, "Yes," and then I say, "Well, that's why we go to bed" 
• Telling Emberly to say "yes" or "no" when I ask her a question and he thinks he knows the answer :) 
• Singing and dancing along to the songs, "Glad You Came" and "Somebody That I Used to Know"
• Talking to people on the phone, especially Nana 
• Going on bike rides with Daddy and Emberly

As a 3 year old, he knows and does a lot of things, here are a few:

• Can still say most of his "A, B, C's"...some of the ones in the middle get a little run together
• Can count from 1-20...again some in the middle get skipped, I think it's mainly 13, 14 and 15 
• Knows ALL of the colors
• Asks the question "Why?" about a million times a day
• Knows how to push Mommy's buttons and test the water
• Is potty trained - which is huge! He still wears diapers for naps and at night but almost always wake up with a dry diaper. It's like the 1 time I didn't put one on he wet the bed, of course!
• Learning how to ride his little red tricycle

As a 3 year old, he definitely has his own personality, here are some of his personality traits: 

• Very, very social and always saying "Hi" to people, especially girls and kids...he has a filter though and doesn't to talk everyone but he says "I like those worker girls at Costco" (his words, not mine) Oh boy! :)
• Smart and always surprises me with what he knows
• Helpful and likes to help when I ask for help UNLESS it involves picking up Legos
• Silly and loves to make others laugh
• He is impatient, which is something we're working on, it's hard for me to teach patience though when I'm not very patient either and I'm afraid he gets that from me. Sorry kid!  
• Imaginative and is always making up stories with his planes, Lego people, Transformers, and Super Heroes
