Malachi will be 3 years old in less than a month.
He talks a lot and can communicate anything he needs.
He is able to entertain himself and plays well by himself.
He likes to be independent. He likes to dress himself and take himself potty.
We're still working on potty training. To be honest he's basically potty trained himself. He takes himself poop 100% of the time and pee about half the time if he's in underwear. If I keep reminding him to go he'll stay dry. He still wears pull ups a lot since we're out and about a lot.
He is such a picky eater. He'll eat bread products and apple sauce all day if I let him. I often have "stubborn wars" with him where basically if he does not want to eat what I serve, he does not eat. I don't make special meals just for him.
He loves going to nursery at church. If we're at the park and he's playing with a steering wheel he'll tell me he's driving us to nursery.
He likes to look at books and have me read to him.
His eczema is nonexistent here in Florida. I don't put any kind of lotion or ointment on his skin and it's nice and soft just with the humidity.
He loves to go the beach and play in the sand and shallow water. Often if we take snacks, he'll just sit in a chair and eat snacks while everyone else plays :) He likes to dig holes and sit in them and be buried.
He often copies what Levi does and says.
He pretends his hands are "baby turtles" and are his imaginary friends.
He sleeps in a toddler bed and sleeps well at night. He takes 1 nap a day. Usually 1.5 - 2 hours.
He has 5 blankies he likes to snuggle and sleep with.
He loves to ride his balance bike and does really well balancing.
He needs his snuggles everyday. Usually in the morning and any time he feels sad.
He gets his feelings hurt if you talk loud or harsh to him.
When he wakes up in the morning he comes into my room and tells me "good morning" :)
He gets sick about every 2 months or less. It's usually a cough and runny nose.
He loves giving/getting hugs and blowing kisses. He makes sure Adrian and I both give him a hug and kiss goodnight and he gets really sad if he forgets to give Adrian a hug before Adrian goes anywhere.
His favorite song is "I want to be a missionary now".
He likes to sing songs. He'll randomly sing throughout the day and he sings with Adrian and I as we sing songs to them at night.
He likes to turn music on loud and dance around the living room.
He knows most of his colors and shapes and likes to have "lessons" because they are games.
He loves to wrestle with Adrian, it's his favorite thing to do.
Most times when he sees a motorcycle or backhoe he'll say that grandpa has one too and he likes to ride with grandpa. Then he'll tell me grandpa lives way far away.
His favorite treat is a donut with sprinkles.
He loves to collect bugs in a bowl with Levi.
I can't tell if he'll be right or left handed. He uses both hands about equally for different things.
He's such a sweet kid and we love having him in our family.
