Simon @ 3 years

I can't believe that he is three already! No matter how many times people tell you how fast they grow, you just never realize. Simon has grown so much in the past year, at 3 years Simon:

-is attending preschool twice a week and he absolutely loves it.
-is 90% potty trained. Nights are still unpredictable but for the most part, during the day he is doing well.
-has a pretty extensive vocabularly and is picking up on our slang and mannerisms.
-is a master negotiator.
-is super bossy with people he's comfortable with but put him in with new people and he's pretty timid and subservient.
-likes to slap and kick walls when he doesn't get his way.
-likes things to be done in a particular way and for his things to be in a particular place.
-is obsessed with the usage of time even though he doesn't really understand the concept - everything happened yesterday, or Tuesday, or in March.....
-has started to develop an imagination and it's so fun to listen to him play now.
-loves to tell knock-knock jokes but again, doesn't really get the concept so they are usually nonsense.
-is still a little bit obsessed with trucks, construction machines and tractors.
-is "friends" with every kid he meets.
-asks "why?" about 100 times a day.
-can count to 40 and knows most of his colours.
-has an amazing memory and can recite most of his books and can tell you who bought most of the clothes in his closet!
-wakes up and starts from the exact point that he was at before he fell asleep - we have to make sure we're ready and able to deliver on our promises that we made before bed.
-is starting to play some simple games - tag, red light/green light and duck, duck, goose.
-can either shout or whisper and nothing in between.
-pretty independent - it's nice that he's able to be left unsupervised for a few minutes here in there when Miles needs tending too.
