Canyon at 3

Oh little Canyon, where do I begin? Canyon is a rambunctious three year old. He loves so many things-daddy, Oakley, playing outside, riding his bike, watching movies, "reading" books and playing with toys-especially monster trucks and cars (just to name a few). Canyon is a very loving little boy. He adores his cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandmas and grandpas...and of course Aspen. He likes to do tricks for example: jumping off things and spinning around and doing somersaults and karate kicks. Also if there is puddle of water outside-Canyon will jump in it. No matter what. Canyon also tries to wrestle with Oakley. Poor little Oakley has learned to be tough. He will be standing up and Canyon will walk up behind him, grab him around the waist, and pull him backwards onto himself. Luckily Oakley thinks it hilarious. They are boys through and through.
Canyon also says a few funny things that he thinks are real words.
Rhinosaur=rhinoceros
restauranK=restaurant
Harry Potomas=Harry Potter (not sure where he learned this one?)
Donald Ducks=McDonalds
Canyon hates wearing shoes. Wherever we go-he takes his shoes off. Often times I will see him walking to singing time from Nursery in his socks. Even at restaurants, his shoes will be kicked off and jammed under the table.
He also does not throw silent fits anymore like he did when he was younger :( They don't happen too often but when they do it is quite the sight. Whoever said terrible two's really must have meant terrible three's!
Canyon will do anything possible not to go to bed. We put him in bed and he needs a drink of water or needs to go potty. Lately he's been pretending to fall off of his bed. But my all time favorite "Mom! There's a dinosaur eating my blanket!"
Another favorite thing of Canyon's....cookies. He is getting way to smart for his own good. He gets a stool, gets the cookies out of cupboard, puts them down on the floor so Oakley can eat them too, and the two of them will down as many cookies as fast as possible before I even know what is happening. He has also done this with Cheetos and various other treats.
He makes us laugh and reminds us what is really important in life. He is such a fun little three year old.

We are so lucky to have Canyon in our family. We love you to pieces Canyon!
