Asher James: Three Years

Asher was sooo excited to turn three. I think in his mind that number made him a big kid, he is constantly reminding us that he is now big.
With Chase being gone every morning, and with Asher being in school I feel like we are starting to see Asher develop his own interests and way of navigating though life, though he still wants to do everything Chase does. That said, he spends a fair amount of time away from me now and that has been a bit of a challenge for him. But we give extra cuddles, and Daddy laying with him until he falls asleep to help with that.
We all know Asher is a sparkplug and goes a mile a minute but having Hayley around has softened him a little. He adores his sister like non other and takes every opportunity to kiss and love on her that he can get.
I just love watching our now middle child grow, he loves to put a smile on your face, is sensitive to others and loves hard.

Stats: He is 33lbs 4oz (68%) and is 40 inches tall (535).

Sleep: The biggest change is that he now sleeps in his big boy bed. As I figured, he is the child to get out of bed a million times before staying in bed and falling asleep. He goes down to bed the same time as Chase around 7:30pm and will wakes around 7:30am. If we are out and about for the day he will take a snooze in the car.

Social: Asher is now in school two mornings a week and is doing really well. He was comfortable with going there because of dropping Chase off for the past two years. He has already made a few friends there and I love hearing him tell me about his day. We did sign him up for soccer and swim also and he was a little shy at first but has gained a lot of confidence in both.

Diet: Having two boys that never stop eating is hard work. I'm always preparing food it seems. If Asher could eat chicken nuggets, grapes and yogurt for every meal, he would. I'm a mean Mum though and make him step out of his comfort zone.

Skills/Milestones: He has learnt so much so fast, which I think it's because he is fearless and will give anything a shot. He is completely potty trained and has been since the beginning of the summer. He can ride a bike with the best of them. Coloring and drawing has become one of his favorite things to do and can draw people really well. He is currently working on writing letters.
