Getting to know David, age 3


David is quite the little character. God has certainly given David a determined spirit and his little quirks are so funny. For the most part he likes to please us and obey... we talk a lot about how God expects him to obey us and in return he is obeying Him while learning right from wrong. Some days are better than others. Whining seems to have slipped back into his daily life right now, but for the most part David is a great kid with tunnel vision and a passion for having fun (in an all boy way!). He is rough and tumble, yet loves to give Jonathan kisses. He really enjoys school and has a new buddy, Jackson, that is so nice. He seems to do well in 3K, even though he is the youngest in the class. He is certainly not a follower, in fact I think he teachers would more say he is the entertainer of the group :). He loves to giggle and has the most amazing laugh (that he gets from his amazing dad!). He has his own unique accent and scrunches up his face a little when he asks questions, it is so cute! Day to day life with David is simply amazing. He makes us laugh and want to pull out our hair, all in one breath! If David asks a question and you don't answer right away, he just keeps asking until you do answer and then if he doesn't really like the reply, he will continue to ask why, over and over. He likes the "cold side of the pillow" when he is falling asleep and plays "back-ets-ball" with his daddy once a week at our rec. center. David loves puzzles and music. If he smells something different, he says "I smell wike somefing" and if it is cold outside, he says it is "coldy" (you know, just like it's sunny, ha). David likes to build castles and "turn-els" for Jonathan to tear down and he LOVES to sneak out of bed and watch us from the landing upstairs. He is a horrible bed partner, but a great helper in the kitchen and has a sweet tooth that we have to watch. But most importantly, David is David and we wouldn't change him for the world!

And now for some more fun I thought I'd do a little Q&A with the little man himself:

Me: "What is your favorite food? "
D: "Well,I don't like broccoli, but I do like donuts. I like those the best!"

Me: "What is your favorite movie?"
D: "Madagascar 2, I fink"

Me: "What is your favorite toy right now?"
D: "Does Incredible Hulk hands, you know what I'm talking about?" *scrunches up his face*

D: Wait, lets not talk about fings right now."

And there you have it. I was just about to ask some deeper questions, but he isn't in the mood right now. I'll try again later...
