You have gotten really good at eating with a fork and spoon.
Some places we have not been able to get you a high chair and you have done great sitting in your chair
Big Brother:
You are a great big brother.
Anytime Sadie is crying and you are somewhere else in the house you will say:
"I comin Sadie, Nash is comin"
You love to give her your paci.
At school, when we come pick you up, your friends want to see Sadie
You tell them "No My sister, My Sadie"
When you are leaving or coming home, you make sure you say bye or hi to Sadie
However, when you are ready for someone to play with you that is holding Sadie you will tell them to give Sadie to someone else

You know all your letters and numbers
Will sort and count
Spell out words on people's shirts, billboards, cars...almost any word you see these days
Do easy arithmetic: Daddy is trying to teach you the basics of addition and subtraction
You know all your shapes
What the colors on the stop light stand for
We went to Havasu this month and you loved Pappi's boat, almost to the point where you did not want to get off
Again you like to drive anything with a wheel!
Sayings:
This month you have started to ask the question "Why"
We will give you the answer and you will say Oh
You love to name off all your friends from school
"oh gosh"
Noooooooo
Bruin Clap
We are trying to get you to say OOOOOUUUU and then as soon as we say U you go into the Bruin Clap and say C L A.....I guess you get that we are a split household:)
I have been trying to get you to say full sentences and will have you repeat the sentence and I break it into a couple words and say it very slow.
The other morning you came in and said a sentence to me and said it very slow and broken out just like I say it to you....funny little boy
Personality:
My Nash, you are a strong willed little boy
It has challenged your Daddy and I on how to discipline you
But with that strong will comes some truly amazing things
You love strong, truly enjoy life and know your likes/dislikes
You love family and look forward to seeing them
You are in the "Mine" stage but if we tell you to share you do and with a happy heart
You say please, thank you, your welcome and yes mama and yes Daddy
Technology:
Kids these days know how to work technology better than their parents.
Nash would be one of those kiddos
He loves the iPad and our iPhones
He can navigate them and get to wherever he wants
Also, when we were at my parents house the girls taught him how to play
this racing game on the wii. Then they took out the remote that controlled the steering wheel.
He noticed right away and demanded it back in! Too smart for that trick;)
His favorite games on the iPad are:
Wiggle Monsters
Elmo
Thomas the Train
Our big new purchase this month was a new swing set outside.
It is huge and has a big fort and swings.
You love it.
You still have a love for the outdoors.
You constantly ask to go outside.
Either to play on the swing set or to ride your bike.
You know summer is approaching when we start eating lots of ice cream and jello.
The fun sweets of summer.
Speaking of sweets you have started to really like ice cream.
One of your favorite things to do is go to the ice cream shop and pick the type of ice cream you want.
You will order it yourself....you tell the lady the pink one with m&ms or the green with black.
All the workers think it is funny because you will order it yourself
Restaurants:
Daddy and I have started to take you out to restaurants again.
There for awhile we avoided it because you would not sit still, but I think we have passed that stage.
We are slowly going out about once a week.
Starting with faster food and lots of hole in the wall restaurants near our house.
We have learned to bring a sippy cup with us, as to avoid spills:)
Sometimes you get a little too happy or loud but for the most part you are great!
Favorites:
You are still in love with trains, any emergency vehicle, tow trucks, semis and motorcycles
Any vehicle that has lights is known as a wee oh wee oh
