Cole- 3 and a 1/2

Cole-Monster,

You are a big 3 1/2 now and so much has changed in the last couple months.  
You started your third and final year at Mrs. Stephie's house (sniff-sniff) and you are one of the oldest.  You go upstairs and play on your own with Dex and Drew, your best buddies.  I'm sure it's loud and crazy fun with 5/6 boys!  She reports that you are near perfect and while that makes me thrilled to hear, it must be that you use up all that perfectness during the day... I have to say though that the last month or so has been so much better at home with your tantrums and mood swings.  I think we're  on our way out of that stage, thank goodness!  
You are funny!  I mean really funny.  You make faces to get people to laugh, say ridiculously silly things, use accents at times, mimic things you think are funny and have the sweetest, deepest belly laugh on earth.  You also do things on purpose (like falling) to make people laugh!  You are our crazy boy!
Speaking of crazy... You are kamikaze when it comes to anything physical.  You climb fences and jump from couches, tables and bleachers.  You have perfected the art of falling (we hope) to avoid injury.  You love to show us your "ninja moves" as you like to call them and play fight with Grady.  You all made up a game called " Slap the Belly" where you hit each other hard on the bare belly and fall over.  I don't get it, but you LOVE it.  You also beg for Daddy to hit you with the Nerf bow and arrow in the "tors and berries" .. You substituted tors for twig.  No explanation needed on this one and it's your favorite. Geez... 
You love to play outside, or upstairs by yourself.  You play independently really well and have a vivid imagination.  You love lego duplo, swords, Nerf guns, cars and trucks and puzzles and books.  You love to pretend to read- it's hysterical.  
You love playing outside.  You chase around the big boys like you're one of them.  You are a dare-devil on playground equipment and have  constant bruised and skinned knees.  
Here are some of your favorites:
Food - strawberries 
Color - red, like Lightning McQueen
TV - Paw Patrol, Ninja Turtles
Thing to do - build Legos
Friend - Drew and Dex
Song - Boom Clap
Sleep With - Wolf, Halloween
To do with Daddy - build Legos 
To do with Mommy - play puzzles
When I grow up - I want to play with my flashlight...
Mommy and Daddy Report...
Thing to Say - Monkey, Monkey, Monkey (pronounced mon-kay) and when we ask you why you did something you always say, "because I did"
Likes to - make silly faces, watch diggers, come in our room after bedtime every 30 minutes to "go potty" but we know it's for snuggles... sometimes 4 times a night!  (You are a light sleeper)
You are potty trained and very consistent.    
You wear a true size 4T and size 10 1/2 shoes.  You weigh 35 pounds and are 40 1/2 inches tall.  You are tall and thin.  Mommy's jealous!  You love anything processed or that has sugar, pickles, cheese, berries, and bacon or sausage.  Your favorite meal is breakfast!!  You love McDonalds nuggets - gross.  
You are absolutely... a ray of sunshine (more often now), independent, moody, good listener, super helper, polite, picky eater, bundle of boundless energy, sweet snuggler, beard kisser, tough as nails and (still) Lightning McQueen lover.  
Happy half birthday you crazy boy!

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
