Hunter is 3 years old. It is hard to believe. He is a fun, outgoing, happy child with a strong willed, mischievous side. He loves riding his bike, playing with friends and and being outside.
He is still strongly opposed to buttons, and very opinionated when it comes to his wardrobe. He now picks out his own clothes which solves some tantrums in the mornings. He can dress himself if his clothes are laid out properly and wants to "do it by myself" most days.
This was a big year for him and he tackled most of the developmental milestones easily. He was potty trained, switched to a big boy bed, gave up his pacifier and became a big brother. He will be moving schools next week to the "big boy school." He seems really excited and looks forward to being reunited with his 3 year old friends.
He is no longer the extremely picky eater, but still doesn't ever really care about food or eating unless it is dessert.
We are still trying to lower the number of tantrums we experience each day, but some days are better than others. I think that the fact that he has an opinion on how everything should be done makes the tantrums more frequent. He isn't, nor do I think will every be a laid back person, but as he grows I think the fact that he knows what he wants will be an asset.
He loves his baby brother, rarely shows jealousy, but when he needs some one on one time he is quick to verbalize it. We are so lucky to have such a great kid and look forward to watching him grow.
