Graham 3 Years Old

 Graham turned 3 this year. He is totally 3 going on 13! He is such smart little dude. Quick to pick up on things and as independent as they come. Sometimes frustratingly so! Graham makes such a fun caboose. He has such a spunky little personality and it is written all over his face. He loves to try to keep up with the big kids. He even was allowed to play in one of Nate’s games because the rain kept a lot of kids home. He was too funny and determined. The tiny guy did really well actually! It doesn’t surprise me though because he can wrestle with the big boys and a tad of a crazy pants. He is my determined one who tries to do everything by himself. He gets himself dressed, helps himself in the bathroom, gets his own snacks, and until he started hating naps, he even put himself down for a nap sometimes. He tries to buckle his own seatbelt and my favorite thing about that is when he looks at you with his determined little eyes and says, “Mom, teach me to do this.” That right there is said several times a day. He is one determined little guy and I am excited to see what he does! He loves to play cars and Rescue Bots and many other things. He loves to make believe and will sit alone and play for a significant amount of time. He loves when Makayla play make believe with him. He also plays with Nathan all day long. It was a good plan sending Nathan to PM Kinder so they could still play all morning. They wrestle, play soccer, cars, and all sorts of games. He still takes naps with me and I love it! Graham has the cutest little relationship with Levi. He will give Graham horsey rides to bed, piggie back rides on hikes, and buddies up with him when mom has her hands full. The little boys love when the big boys wrestle with them. He has the cutest little voice. He gets a little intense and dramatic when he is mad. He doesn’t always say the nicest things either…and we try hard not to laugh. He also has a knack for potty words right now too. The older boys find him hilarious. Graham always has to sit on a lap while watching tv. He loves to try to play video games with his brothers. He flips like the best of them on the tramp, rides his balance bike like mad man. He loves loves loves his milk. He asks several times a day for a sippie. He is such a snuggler and always gives me hugs when I want them, snuggles me in the morning, and loves to give me kisses. I don’t mind one bit. He loves having daddy working from home during COVID. He wakes up from his nap and goes and plays in his office. He makes Dan play soccer in the house while I walk Nathan over to the school. He loves to play boardgames, even if he rarely plays them the right way, he just loves to play! He knows how to count till almost 15, knows all his colors, and is starting to recognize letters and numbers. Even though he throws out the funniest numbers. Like today, “I did that like 5 years ago!” He has the funniest mischievous little grin. We just love that little man! He gives us so many laughs, eye rolls, and shocking moments. What would we do without our Graham!
