3 1/2 - wow!!

I cannot believe how much Tristan has grown in the past year, let alone the past six months.  We were just watching videos the other day from a year ago and it's amazing to see how much he's changed!  3 1/2 really marks the end of being a little boy - he is such a big boy now!!

*He still LOVES his "Cars movie cars" as calls them.  (Not to be confused with his Hotwheel cars :)  He races them all day every day and likes to reenact scenes from the movie.  He probably has close to 40 of them and knows all of their names and what their roles are (racing cars, watchers, friends, etc.)  He earns a new car every time he fills out his chart and he is so proud to go to the store to pick out a new car after completing it!

*He also loves to race with his sister or cousin Eli.  They'll start at the fridge in the kitchen and then go all the way to front door, back and forth, back and forth. 

*Cars has definitely replaced his all-day jam session on the guitar and drums like he used to do, but he'll still pick up his guitar or drumsticks if he hears a really good song on the radio :)

*We are starting to have more playdates with some of our new friends here and, although he can by pretty shy in the beginning, he's really loving meeting and playing with all of his new friends!

*He has known all his letters, colors, shapes, numbers, etc. for quite awhile, but is now working on writing and drawing all of these on his own now!

*He can trace his name and can write it when looking at it, but we're still working on writing all seven letters all by himself!

*He loves his sister and wants to play with her all the time.  If she's napping, he always wants her to wake up so he can play with his sissy.  So sweet :)

*He is still such a lover and cuddler.  My favorite time of the day is when I put him to bed and read him about 4-5 books, then cuddle with him until he falls asleep.  I love this uninterrupted time and being able to read these books together.  It's one of my most favorite things!

My sweetheart :)
This is a good depiction of their relationship - Talia doing something funny while Tristan sits back and laughs at her :)  Love their relationship!
He loves his sissy :)
Always racing cars

Lined and ready for their race!
Neck and neck!
He's so proud to display his Cars in their suitcase when they're not in use!
Seriously, this is what he does all day :)
His Cars are racing the Hotwheels.  I'm pretty sure I know who's going to win this one :)
