Joshua: 34 & 35 months

Joshua turned 35 months today.  I didn't do a 34 month update, but I did take pictures so I'll post the best of those today too.

(34 months)

colors:  he knows his colors, although orange and yellow sometimes get mixed up.  His favorite color is green


Numbers: I heard him count to 20 today, missing a few in the teens.


Alphabet: he can say many letters and sings some of the ABCs, but can't identify many letters.  We were talking about J and he remembered Joshua Jellyfish from school.


(35 months)

Dressing: he's getting better at dressing and undressing, but he still likes help or at least to be near Ben or me.  He's also much better about getting his sandals on, although shoes are still a bit hard.  He freaks out if one of the velcro straps comes undone.


Sleeping: Although he sleeps well at night (8pm-7am), he is in the process of quickly giving up naps.  He naps maybe once every three or four days.  It has made for a very tired boy some evenings.


Playing: The kid loves to play.  He makes things out of Duplos - birthday cakes, robots, port-a-potties.  I've eaten a lot of cake lately.  He's been enjoying playing with marbles and his science beakers.  He likes books.  He likes being a puppy dog and tells people that is what is name is.  He really likes to play with Isaac.  They have played together a ton the last few weeks.  There has been so much laughter (most of the time).  There is also a lot of running and roaring.


Eating: he still rarely eats his vegetables, but at least it is rarely instead of never now.  Treats after a meal are slowly starting to work better.  He love banana bread and donuts.


Screen time: he likes "playing" MarioKart with Ben and watching shows.  Paw Patrol is near the top, with Inspector Gadget as a new favorite.
