i love a 3 year old

This afternoon eli displayed his 3-year-old-ness.  

He told me he had a hurty on his forehead- said he banged it on the lawnmower.  Then he asked for a band-aid.  At first my logicalness said that's ridiculous, there's nothing wrong with you, we're not wasting a band-aid on a fake hurty.  Then I thought to myself, he's just being 3, let's roll with it.  No big deal and who cares if he is wearing a band-aid on his forehead.  So I gave him a band-aid and made him the happiest boy alive. 

Then he told me nuzzy had a hurty forehead too and needed a band-aid.  So I thought, who cares if nuzzy has a band-aid and gave him one. 

Those two are in bed and are still wearing those band-aids.  Love me a 3 year old.

And here's the 3 year old playing a colors/letters game with me.  He told me nuzzy and the Mac truck were going to help him find the colors so he lined them up so they could see the board too!  So funny.

And you may have noticed the boy wearing a winter hat indoors.  We were outside today and it was quite chilly so he wore a hat.  Then when we came inside he told me he wanted to keep it on- so he did- and proceeded to wear it inside for the next 3.5 hours.  Oh the life of a 3 year old!
