Garrison at 3

Well Garrison is into quite a lot these days.  Anything that flies - helicopters, jets, and dragons.  Anything construction related - he literally yells "CONSTRUCTION!!!" every time he sees those orange cones or large yellow vehicles.  Anything having to do with yard work - the kid has a weed eater, blower and mower and LOVES to help Daddy out in the yard.  And anything that Davis has in his hands - ANYTHING!

Speaking of Davis, Garrison LOVES his little brother.  Right now he is OBSESSED with wearing matching pj's with Davis.  It is seriously the funniest thing!  Garrison tells us that Davis is his "best buddy"...so sweet!  Now don't be fooled, he can still be super rough with him, but he also thinks his brother is pretty awesome :)

His favorite meal is spaghetti.  He's still a great eater and eats whatever we eat.  He also LOVES candy and we're pretty sure he'd be happy eating that every day all day. 

He still sucks his thumb sometimes and LOVES his blankies.  Oh, the blankies!  The newest ordeal with them is that one got a small hole in it, so then that was his favorite (he has 3 identical blankies).  It was nearly impossible to wash it, so we made holes in the others as well.  Who would have thought we'd be cutting holes in these precious blankies?!?

Garrison is an outside kinda kid too.  He loves playing in the backyard, riding his bike on our walks, going to the playground, swimming...you get the picture.  And speaking of swimming, he is doing so great this summer and has almost learned how to swim.  I'm so proud!!

He's also a social little guy making new "buddies" all the time.  He may start out a little shy, but then he warms up and it's on!  He has got one of the funniest little personalities too.  Such a great sense of humor!  And so silly too!

But it's not all roses being around my three year old.  He is quite the little toot too.  He has A LOT of opinions and wants what he wants when he wants it!  Unfortunately, he hasn't outgrown the tantrums although we keep telling him they don't work anymore.  And did I mention that he's high maintenance?  It's a good thing he's so darn cute  :)

Sleep...well Garrison still takes a 2 hour nap every afternoon (YAY!)

Here are some recent pics...
