Middle man with a plan!


You may be the middle child, but you are scheduled to a tee! Clothes aren't such an issue anymore, as long as you can get dressed the minute your feet hit the floor in the morning. And then you run into our room and ask to watch cartoons, not in our bed as we always suggest, but you want to watch them in the family room. Then about 30 min later, you must eat. And a lot of times you insist that it be "eggs and potatoes," you would eat that every morning if you could. Then you go downstairs and play with your trains...and the routine continues. We jokingly call you "rain man," but you must follow a plan. It's not always the same plan, it just must be the plan you talked about. If we tell you we're going to do something, we'd better do it. This week you strongly wanted to decorate the house for Xmas so we promised we'd do it this past weekend. You asked every hour on saturday until Dad drug out all the decorations and then you were completely happy when it was all done. You love decorating the house for holidays. The minute we took the halloween decorations down, you asked if we could put the Xmas tree up! You are the most sensitive thing in the house worrying about everyone else. You always have a compliment for my cooking, my clothes, everything. So sweet. But don't think for a second that you aren't 110% boy lately...wrestling, spitting, running and jumping everywhere. The name calling has even begun...everyone is either an eyeball, a meatball, a poop nugget or a terd! You love to pee standing up now, this is a recent thing, mommy loves cleaning up the floor as you're still working on your aim! You love your little sister, I'm pretty sure you're crazy about Finley too but Quinn has your eye currently. You are constantly following her around wanting to hug and kiss on her all the time. And for those of you who don't know Quinn...this doesn't go over well. She's not exactly the warm and fuzzy hugs and kisses kind of girl...not unless she's in the mood and it's her idea that is! So she does not want you touching her so she is constantly saying, "No Buddy." That's what she calls you. And then she follows it up with a growl...which means she means business! But you are good about letting her stand up on a chair and watch you play trains. I think you even share one occasionally. You are still the best eater in the house and often proclaim at mealtime, "mom, you make good meals...Daddy...no good!" And then you bust up laughing! Daddy wants me to mention how great of a fisherman you are. He says you are an awesome caster! He's determined to turn you into an outdoorsman and you love it! You love to do anything outside...dig in the mulch, ride your bike, draw with sidewalk chalk. You are currently pretty obsessed with Santa and you are trying hard to not get coal in your stocking. You profess almost everyday that you are going to "be good all day." Your list for Santa gets longer and longer as you want everything in the Toys R' Us catalog including but not limited to: an RC dinosaur, Christmas in Toytown Train, a new bike, golf clubs, fishing lures, a tackle box, Thomas Trains, and basically anything else you see with dinosaurs or trains. You're loving everything to do with Xmas, the decorations, the lights, hot chocolate, Frosty the Snowman and even Xmas music. Mama Julie bought you a xmas tree for your room and you take Finley by the hand every night and you shut the door and turn out the lights to go look at your tree. It's so very cute!
