Eldon's 3rd Birthday

Wouldn't take his Storm Trooper costume off. Love the stains on the front. We keep it classy.

Can't believe little Eldies turned 3. Where has the time gone!! 2/3rds of his life has been spent in the home which seems so odd to me. Seems like we should have moved by now. Time is always playing tricks on me.

About Eldon:
  • He still loves his "guys". Little guys of any sort that he can carry in his little hands. He tries to carry armfuls around the house. 
  • He can use the potty but refuses to. Have yet to find anything that'll motivate him.
  • Is a great little talker (albeit through his nose). Always surprising me with the hysterical things he says. 
  • Does not like it when I try to teach him anything academic. I have to sneak it in and make it as game-like as possible. Good thing he has another nearly 3 years to learn his letters and numbers!!
  • Still likes to throw big, hard toys at his brothers or do whatever necessary to get his way. 
  • Loves his long sleeve, long pant PJs and will wear them all day if I don't feel like fighting him about it. Even outside at the park. Doesn't mind that it's 1,000 degrees outside.
  • Will beg for baths and will stay in there all the day long if you let him, but he must bring some of his guys in to join him. 
  • "Peanut butter with sandwich" is the food he requests for every meal. Must be cut in triangles. Gives his crust to Lucy. 
  • Eating more veggies than he used to. 
  • Octonauts is the only show he ever wants to watch, much to his brothers' dismay. 
  • Makes a stink about going to nursery if I drop him off, but goes right in if Matt takes him. Does that mean he thinks I'm a sucker??
  • Enjoys eating toothpaste any chance he gets.
  • Has a mini obsession with the spray bottle on our ironing board. 
  • If you give him a regular cup, inevitably, it ends up spilled on the floor or filled with his guys or some nasty concoction of whatever was on his plate. Sippys for life. 
Here was his party:

The Stewarts, the Gregory's, the Westovers and the Halls came to the party.

I need to delete photos off my camera cause I only had room for snippets of video.


Opening presents.

Enjoying his new Octopod from Octonauts.
