You:

make an effort to be funny. After saying something you mean to be funny, you ask, "was that funny?"

are NOT a good eater. It's a miracle you grow at all. You even "chipmunk" your food (we used to think you were eating until we noticed your cheeks were stuffed with uneaten food). When we see you chipmunking, we tell you to chew your food and swallow it. To which you respond with an elaborate head-nod, "Chew! Chew!"

love fruit. And hate vegetables. Especially the green ones. Other than fruit, you want pretty much nothing else except for treats and are super offended when told no. You are quick to tell me that i've hurt your feelings.

are also very into saying "DANG GIT!" and "I'm SAW-WEE!"

you have a never-ending ability to ask the question "Why?"

still have no sense of self-preservation and get into anything and everything and are constantly falling off of things.

love church nursery.

continue to be a non-stop talker. People often stop and ask how old you are because they can't believe so much vocabulary is spouting out of your mouth.

make great sound effects when playing. You really like your (fake) light saber and enjoy making it "swoosh" and "get the bad guys."

like to say the prayer at meals and bedtime.

really wish you could go to school like Bode. When we drop him off, you are immediately sitting at a table working on their station activities. Or pulling puzzles off of the racks and engaging the teacher's aide to help you with it.

9 times out of 10 wake up happy and ready to go.

are addicted to television (especially Einsteins, Wonder Pets and Dora/Diego). We need an intervention.

are all about hugs, messy kisses and high-fives.
