Theo is officially 3 1/2. We love him more and more every day and adore the person he has become. My one-on-one time with him is even more special now that we are a family of four. He makes me laugh on a very regular basis and his curiosity and interests truly bring me joy. I’m learning from him. Most importantly, I’m learning how to be a mother and a better person.
What can I say about this 3 1/2 year old?
Theo’s number one interest is learning how things function. He can tell you about electricity (“wood is NOT a conductor of electricity, it’s an insulator“), and he can tell you about combustion. He loves to do science experiments. He is quite dexterous and is already adept at using our computer in many ways. He loves reading books and painting and writing his name. He doesn’t always love to finish things that he starts, like Candy Land, even when he is winning. He is learning to ice skate. He absolutely loves to help Daddy with any household tasks, such as watering the plants, running the dishwasher, using tools to fix things. Everything has to be done by himself. He also likes learning about airplanes and helicopters. He can tell you the different parts of an airplane. Theo loves hershey kisses and will often declare that it is “hershey kiss day!”. He has grown so much since he turned three and I can’t wait to see what the next six months has in store for his development.
