Kaleb is really taking this 3 year-old thing seriously these past few days. He has severed his unhealthy relationship with his diaper, and begun urinating outdoors....he is an "outdoorsman", what can I say? He likes to go to the same spot each time, which is a patch of dirt in the backyard. One day, I simply encouraged him to aim for the rock, and that did it! Although, sometimes, he just decides to go, like in the Island's parking lot, when he soaked my purse in urine. Heck, we were just thrilled he didn't go in his pants in the restaurant.
He is also taking his future landscaping career a bit more seriously. He likes to observe the fellow landscapers in the neighborhood, as they mow, edge, and blow, in the early afternoon. He carefully watches their technique and tries to replicate it perfectly, with his own mower, edger, and blower. He likes to call out to them, "HI Dher!(hi there)" and "Hah-yuh-nice-deh!"(Have a nice day).
He has started pulling his own weight around the house as well. He will clear his plate, without being asked, and throw trash away, if he sees it laying around. He found empty cracked egg shells in the egg carton and proceeded to throw each of them in the trash receptacle. I was so proud, that I didn't even flip out over that fact that there wasn't a trash bag in the can.
Some of his new favorite conversational pieces are, "hey mom-mom...watch dis", "I don't like it", "Hey mom-mom...where's Uncle T?", "whuddya dooo-een?", "whanna pay room, mom-mom?", "he-ya go..Hab-it."
