Happy Birthday Cedar!






















Cedar at 3 years old:
• Loves anything to do with animals, dinosaurs, construction and bugs.
• Is very polite about 80% of the time.
• 2.5-3 has been the age of whining. Oh the whining.
• Loves to play with friends. Is reserved around new ones, but warms up eventually.
• Is finally sleeping past 5:45am, but won't take a nap during the day. Jury is still up on which is better.
• Let's be honest, quiet time is a joke. We are trying to set a habit of having quiet time while Imogene is napping. This is a battle. It may get easier, but right now this lack of napping results in a lot of frustration, tears and grumpiness from all three of us. Often times Imogene's nap is cut short by Cedar's screaming.
• We are going on 2 weeks of potty training, which is going much better than we anticipated. He is still wearing diapers to sleep and will not go on any toilet but his little frog potty, but he is doing really well with control. We are so proud of him!
• He randomly breaks out in song many times during the day. His favorites include Baa Baa Black Sheep, Old MacDonald, All God's Creatures Got a Place in the Choir, ABCs, What Does the Fox Say....
• Favorite foods: pizza, french fries, quesadillas, cucumbers (which he was appalled we would get from the store because, they grow in the garden), peppers, carrots, pears and chocolate ice cream.
• He loves to wrestle, jump on anything, swing, hike, really anything physical. He is all boy. Poor Imogene needs a little time to get a little bigger and stronger to really be able to defend herself.
• Cedar is such a genuinely sweet and thoughtful boy and we are happy he is ours.
