Our Little Man Is 3!!!




Our sweet boy turned 3 on May 27th & unfortunately, Mom is just now getting around to blogging about it.  We have been having so much fun this summer & I am absolutely relishing the kids at their current ages.  Cy Wesley is quite the big boy and continues to amaze us with his growth physically, mentally, & verbally.  He becomes less of a toddler & more of a little boy every day, no matter how hard I try to stop it.  Here are a few milestones that Cy is tackling and his 3 year stats.

Height:  37.3"  (65%)
Weight: 34 lbs (75%)


Some of his favorite foods include fruit snacks, lasagna, soup (loves Olive Garden's Chicken Gnocci soup), mac & cheese, corn on the cob, raw carrots with ranch dressing, peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, blueberries & rice krispie treats, to name a few.  He's allowed one Capri Sun and one pack of gummies per day which he ops to eat pretty quickly after he wakes up each morning.

He's a big fan of  brushing his teeth.  We're currently working on learning how to spit, so that he can start using flouridated toothpaste.  Cy's also great about letting me floss his teeth :)

Loves carrying around groups of toys, a few animals, 3 or 4 trains, several hot wheels....his hands are always full of treasures & he "needs" all of them!

He is super sweet to "his baby" sister.  They play together really well.  As soon as either of them wake up from their naps, they ask about the other.  Precious!

When Travis comes home after work, he is immediately met with a big "Welcome Home, Papa" from Cy & Lila, followed quickly by "Can we go jump on the bed???"  The time that get to spend with their daddy in the evenings is so special for both of them.  A new favorite is "The Couch Swinging Game" (which Cy so aptly named), where Travis swings them up high, then tosses them into the couch. 

Currently, his top DVD choice is "The Incredibles",  "Finding Nemo", "Cars", "Kung Fu Panda" & "Monsters, Inc" should certainly receive an honorable mention.  Hands down, his favorite cartoon is "Max & Ruby"!  Not exactly sure why it's so appealing to him, but he LOVES it!  He's also a big fan of "Diego" & "Dora".

He's a pro at using the stairs, swinging a bat, throwing & kicking a ball, & pedalling a tricycle.

He tends to use both hands equally, but we've noticed that he's more coordinated throwing a ball and swinging a bat with his left hand.

Has started telling stories or making up a story for his toys to act out, and engaging in fantasy play.

As of late, he's really stuck on the concept of time.  He often tells me that he did something "yesterday", or that he wants to do something "real quick".

He can count to 20, can count to 10 in Spanish, knows all of his colors, and the names of most animals, trucks, and construction, farm, & emergency vehicles known to man.

Cy loves to sing.  Some of his favorite songs are: "Zaccheus", "Booster, Booster", "The Bible", "The Lord's Army", "The Wise Man" & "Jesus Loves Me".

A few of his favorite books include:  "Where the Wild Things Are", "Cars and Trucks & Things That Go", and any book featuring trucks or farm vehicles.

Clothing is optional!  It's pretty challenging to keep clothes on this boy.  He sheds his shoes as soon as he gets into the car on the way home from an activity, and asks to have his shirt & shorts taken off, as soon as he crosses the threshold of the house.  He also prefers not to wear a bathing suit or play clothes while he's swimming or playing in the backyard.



Potty training was a piece of cake for our big boy!  He still wears a pull-up for naps and at night, but wakes up dry 99% of the time.  I am hesitant to drop the pull-up (pun intended) because inevidibly, there will be accidents and Mom is not a fan of changing sheets.  So since there has been no confusion regarding the pull-up, and a non-issue for Cy...we'll continue to wear it at night for a bit longer.

Wearing 3T clothing and size 8 or 9 shoes.

He loves water & being outside.  We've signed Cy up for swim lessons in July & I'm excited to see how much he will learn.  He's also scheduled to take a beginners gymnastics class at Ready Set Go next month. 

Cy treasures time with Gramps!  He lights up when he sees him and talks constantly of riding the tractor, Big Red, and four wheelers with Gramps.  He makes my heart sing to see what a special relationship they have!


I'm sure that there are tons of things that I'm forgetting, but the most important thing is that Cy Wesley is a happy & healthy boy with a kind heart, sweet spirit, & a love of life!  We couldn't be more proud of him!
