Remy These Days

It occurred to me today that in April Remy will no longer be an only child and, while I hope that I won't stop noticing the inches of growth and the milestones of development, I probably won't have as much time to blog about it! So here is where he is at these days:

• He is 41 inches tall and weighs 34 lbs.  At 3 years and 7 months old, that puts him in the 58th percentile for weight and the 97th percentile for height!   
• He still loves his blankies and binkies. 
• His hair is thicker, darker, and less wavy than when he was a baby. 
• Favorite foods are bacon, pepperoni pizza, fresh strawberries, Ritz crackers, blueberry Craisins, and cheese sticks.  
• Favorite TV shows are Super Hero Squad, Curious George and Wild Kratz.  
• Favorite books are the Lego City books. 
• His best friend at school is Ryland. (Connor and Liam have been bumped, poor guys.)  
• He can now brush his own teeth, put on his own shoes, and go to the bathroom by himself. (But he still needs lots of reminders and pointers.)  
• He loves vacuuming, mopping, sweeping, and, recently, raking.
• His favorite Christmas presents were an airplane from Grandma Connie, a Dirt Devil Jr., and a Bissell Swiffer steam mop.  
• He can now tell us about his dreams, what happens at school, what he saw on TV, and all sorts of interesting things. 
• Cute things he says: packawage for package, I can't want to instead of don't want to, and responding your welcome! whenever people praise him. He's also extremely liberal with the adjectives nice and new.  
• Prefers scissors to crayons but can draw a smiley face when pressed.  :)
