cannon at 3....

Well, Mr. Cannon, you are now three!  You are filled with personality and you know how to turn on the charm.  To say that you keep us on our toes is an understatment.  You are a challenge and you always know what you want. 

A few things about you at three years old....


- You are 30 pounds (25th percentile) and 37.25 inches tall (50th percentile).


-  You are Independent with a capital I.  You have to do everything for yourself.  This is mostly a good thing, but sometimes it is downright frustrating.  You are dressing yourself and have to get yourself in and out of the car.  You are also buckling yourself into your carseat, but luckily you cannot unbuckle...yet!

- You are talking up a storm.  A few months ago, it all seemed to click for you and now you are completely caught up to your peers in speech and language.  You talk in complete sentences and we can understand almost all of what you say. 

- You love to sing and your favorite songs are You are My Sunshine and the ABC Song.  You are always learning new songs at daycare and we hear you singing them to yourself as you play with your toys.

- You are crazy about playdoh.  You ask to play with it pretty much daily.  You also love coloring and drawing.

- You are terribly stubborn.  Once you have something set in your mind, it is almost impossible to change it.  This has been a huge challenge for us and one that we are fighting on a daily basis.  We keep praying for wisdom on how to raise you.  We want to encourage your independence and channel all your energy in a positive direction.  Hoping that we can find some middle ground in this area soon.

- You and Charlie are complete opposites.  I notice things every single day that remind me that you two couldn't really be any more different.  Your relationship has its highs and lows and I hope that it keeps getting better and better.  You are lucky to have each other.

- You love macaroni and cheese, yogurt, fruit snacks, and fruit.  You aren't too picky, but you usually know what you want when you want it (as usual!)

- You are still an early riser.  (I would still like to know where you got this from!)

- You are attending daycare and you love it.  You need the social interaction and you love all the action. 

You truly are a character, little dude.  We are learning from you everyday and we love you so much Can Man.
