3.5... Closer to 4 now

Another draft that has been sitting around for ages... William's 3.5 almost 4 post. I didn't get much down, but posted a few photos and a couple bullet points on what he's up to nowadays. Here it is!

William is 3.5 now and sometimes I think he's going on 7 or 8! He can act like such a big boy.

LOVES ice cream

Kind big brother (most of the time)

Curious

Loves Disney

CRACKS me up! Loves a good face painting

Loves the beach

William's self portrait

Off to school with his sister

Hard worker

• Plays with his cars still and loves LEGOs. He's very creative and loves making all sort of things like spaceships, castles or cars. 
• Into pirates, dragons, dinosaurs, cars.
• Still loves his Peter Rabbit and green blanket.
• Goes to bed around 8/8:30pm, but runs in and out constantly wanting to tell us "one more thing" or trying to negotiate another book reading.
• A story teller - likes to make up long and rambling stories with whatever theme he's currently into, such as pirates or dinosaurs.
• Very observant and notices new things instantly. 
• Loves art and crafts. He pays a lot of attention to details. 
• Loves his friends and wants to make plans to see friends all the time. He's great at making new friends and has no problem walking up to a new kid on the playground to see if he/she might want to play.
• A whole new understanding of things... will ask questions like why I have a hole in my ear and how did it get there, or he saw a woman with one arm and asked why she only had one arm.
• His memory is incredible. He'll talk about events from over a year ago. He remembers what we did over the 4th of July or where we sat for the Winter Park Holiday Parade back in 2014!

Describing him is so much more complex now! When they're 1, 2, or turning 3 even, it's much more easy to list "what's new." It's no longer simple milestones like speaking in a full sentence or counting to 5. It's amazing how much they grow month to month. And we continue... moving into writing, reading, math, sports, and so on. He's getting so big...
