My baby, Maverick is now three!
It seems like just yesterday that I was about 3 weeks away from my due date and making soup during nap time when I decided that, "this baby is coming now!"
Maverick, you are such a sweet little boy! You are definitely well-named though because you definitely have a feisty and independent streak to you. You still are the "baby" in the house and get your way most of the time. Daddy thinks that I'm a softie when it comes to you, but he is too....don't let him convince you otherwise. It's hard to resist when you've been put in bed and we hear you crying and we come in to ask what's wrong and you say, "I need a hug." That is usually the case and you get your hug and then you are fine and off to sleep.
You attend your school (which is a MMO program) two days a week. This fall you will age-out of this program and start going to our church's preschool on M-W-F. I'm sure you will do fine, but it will be a transition for you because MMO is all you've known. You have so many friends there and it's cute to see your personality emerging as you describe them.
Your birthday celebrations were not what we intended today. With the ice on the streets, schools and our MOPS meeting was closed/cancelled. We made the best of it and played inside for most of the day. You opened your presents from Mommy & Daddy after breakfast which was a Peter Pan book and some pirate/Captain Hook gear. Aunt Jenny and Chloe even popped over with a present for you as did Granddaddy Bob, Mimi, and Grandma too. You are certainly a loved little boy!
For dinner you requested tacos, one of your favorites. I did take the easy way out with some store-bought cupcakes which you only ate the icing off. I figure since I'm making a Peter Pan cake, I can have a free pass for one night. I'll have to post your stats in early April when you, Chandler, & Jamison all get your checkups. You have gotten so tall! I had to switch out all your 2T pants for 3T a month or so ago.
Maverick, at three years old you still take a nap. It's about 1.5 hours in the afternoon. You go to bed about 7:30 and get up about 7:15 am. You are definitely our family's pickiest eater. You don't like most breads or pastas. You won't eat pizza. To you, it's all about presentation. If it looks funny or something is "off" you won't even consider trying it. You will eat a quesadilla but not a grilled cheese. You really like meats and call most things chicken. You still like fruits, but sometimes can be picky about which ones. Some days you eat hardly anything and others you eat more than Daddy.
You love to play outside and enjoy being a big boy with your older brothers and whatever they are doing. This often results in tears because you can get too rough with them while "pretending" to fight....the tears aren't generally yours :) You love trains and trucks. You also like playing in the pretend kitchen and cooking for Mommy.
Maverick, you are so special to our family and we love you so much!
