3.5 Beauisms

I can't fit my baby's personality into a blog post. I'll just list some Beauisms so you get the idea of what he's like at 3 1/2 years old. He is awesome. He is hard-headed. He is inquisitive. He is a deep thinker. He is charming. He is sturdy. He is hilarious.

Beau prefers to be helping - doesn't matter what it is; decorating cookies, dusting the house, in the kitchen, make hot chocolate, picking up toys - he is the Big Helper.  He is slowly coming out of Incredibly Picky Eater Beau. Less things are Nasty. However he continues to dislike; tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, green beans. He loves sugar (ugh), beans of any kind, water, fruit, anything breakfast, McDonald's cheeseburgers - minus the pickle.

Beau is what you call... SOCIAL. The Willard High School Girls Basketball Team is aka The Beau Fan Club. Holy love buckets Batman, those girls love my babies! Seriously, they are so good to him, toting him around, buying him snacks and laughing with him and his quick wit. He high fives or rocks every person sitting on the aisle seat going up the stands when we're finding our seats at a ballgame. Once he asked a lady for a bite of her candy bar. Sheesh! I am affectionately known as 'Beaus Mom'. I love that.

He is now an average size at 39lbs and the only physical trouble we have are the ears. He is LOUD. I think this is his personality but also a hearing thing. Mama is watching it. Beau is sharp as a tack, starting to make jokes, tease, tell stories, can recognize every letter of the alphabet and count to 13. His face is animated when he's talking followed close with hilarious body language. He'll shrug those little shoulders, flip his hand over and go "Eh?" or shake his head approvingly, "sure Mama, that's a good idea.." He raises one eyebrow just like Daddy and those big ol' chocolate truffle eyes can well up some tears in a snap! Three year olds are incredibly emotional. They try so hard to rationalize and attempt to begin arguing. Some days aren't so happy for Beau as he's learning the boundaries. But most days are fun. He is mostly good to Lauren and enjoys her company. When they eat at the table, he scoots his chair close to hers... Love this boy, so so much.
