We're one day away from Dylan's 3rd birthday so I'll post more pictures after that's past. For now, just want to note that Dylan's big boy bed arrived this weekend and he is happily sleeping like a big boy since Saturday night. Keith and I both read him a story on that night and then we tucked him in and that was that. He decided he wanted all his Sesame Street books on the shelves behind him and also a tissue box because he has a little cold. On Sunday night, I tucked him in and as I walked out, he reminded me to turn the light off, which made me laugh.
We've been reminding him that his birthday's coming up and he has promised to start going in the potty full-time once he officially turns 3...so we'll see how that goes. Last weekend we had a fun sing-along with the extended Moreira family ...Dylan playing different instruments and counting off songs like "Twinkle Twinkle," "Old McDonald," "Itsy Bitsy Spider," and "You are my Sunshine." The weekend before that, Dylan visited his grandma for her birthday and got see the whole Mason side of the family so he's been having a lot of fun recently.
I will be taking my Comprehensive Exams for my PhD during these next two weekends so we won't be able to celebrate D's birthday in any big way, but I don't think he'll mind. When someone asks him what he wants for his birthday, he just says "a present" so he's still pretty low-maintenance (for now).
