Well, it's been almost a year since I last posted. We didn't have the internet for quite some time, and I forgot about the blog in the midst of everything else... so... here are some basic updates.
Dayton is about to turn three years old. He can speak in full sentences now, although he still prefers to use short, concise sentences to communicate. He is extremely active, and he just about runs me ragged. He has reached the "demanding" phase: He knows what he wants, and he will ask for it. Repeatedly.
Dayton is in a "big boy bed" (twin size) now, and he is an early bird! Often, he will get up at 6:30 in the morning with Daddy. Since I am a night owl, this is really hard for me to adjust to, and I am still struggling to wake up with him. He loves his big bed, though. It has plenty of room for him to pile blankets all over. He still loves his toddler-size blankets, and he totes multiple blankets all around the house.
He discovered books, and he loves to read! This makes me so happy! When he was younger, he didn't take much interest in reading, but now he brings me storybooks and snuggles up for us to read together. Right now his favorite books are "Snuggle Puppy" and "Put Me in the Zoo". He also loves "There's a Monster at the End of This Book", which was one of my special favorites as a kid.
He loves kid movies. A little too much. We have started having a T.V. curfew, and setting time limits on movie-watching.
Dayton is TALL! (And slim.) I am amazed at how tall he is for his age!
There are so many more ways that he has grown and changed in the past year, but I think that future blogs will be able to describe Dayton better. Besides, I need to get to sleep! It is late, and my little early bird will be up at dawn saying, "Mama! The sunshine came up!"
