beckett,
you are getting so big. your hair is getting so long. you are really starting to look like a little boy. we are trying to conquer this potty training thing. you are doing really good. you have accidents. but it's ok.  you say, "it was an accident."  i just smile. for the most part you are getting the hang of it.

things i don't want to forget.

• peed in the potty with asking to on the 24th
• peed 3 times the next day 
• how you won't poop in the potty
• how you touched his sisters face on feb 28th and said, "sister, i love you. you are so beautiful."
• how you love to act like you are going to kiss us and then stick your tongue in our mouths.
• you think it is so funny to lick everyone. faces, arms, legs 
• you are constantly saying something just happened. one day you said, "something just happened in my pants. it's called poop." it was so funny
• you will ask for something and say, "don't say no, just say yes"
• you say, "i have a question for you."
• you pooped in the shower and then in the potty. and you said it, "it looks like a long snake"
• you are more into skiing this year. you are getting good, no help. 
• you were eating snow while skiing one day
• how you've been coming to our room in the middle of the night to snuggle
• you say hi to everyone. you are very outgoing
• you love driving the car shopping cart and saying hi to everyone at the grocery store. everyone just always looks surprised. it's funny
• you have driven the car twice up the hill and you love to drive
• you love to have your arm, face and back scratched while snuggling at night before bed
• you will ask to scratch my back but really you want yours scratched and then when i try to leave you will start scratching mine to keep me in bed. smarty pants
• you will back up and say, "come on" while moving your hands backwards
• you play memory and say, "they match" after turning them all over
• you love to ski. you just get more interested in other things like the tunnels, eating snow and making snow angels. although you were swimming in your boots, you managed just fine.

day before your 34 month bday. march 5, 2013.
