Robert Turns 3 Years Old

Today is Robert’s third birthday!

This morning I told Robert he could do whatever he wanted to do since it was his birthday. He said he wanted to play with Jason.

I told him I could take him somewhere special and asked him where he wanted to go. He said he wanted to get a doughnut.

At three years old, Robert is an active and charismatic young boy. He prefers being silly to being serious. He enjoys school and clearly admires and likes playing with his brother Jason despite some periodic skirmishes. Robert likes “soft bags”, macaroni and cheese, painting, puzzles, and Super Sonic. He enjoys going to school and playing with his friends.

For a special lunch, Robert and Jason went to KFC where they enjoyed a meal of popcorn chicken, potatoes, and macaroni and cheese.

After lunch, they went to the park with “gooses” where they played on the playground and dug in the dirt.

After a few hours back at home, Jason and Robert went to their annual check up at the doctor. Robert was very brave and did not cry from his shot. We stopped at Dunkin’ Donuts afterwards. At home Jason built a police car and Robert built an airplane. Here he is painting and making a “mad face”.

Later that night, Robert started opening some presents. The best one was Super Sonic!

More presents and then it was time for cake.

Happy Birthday Big Boy Robert!

Robert 2013

Here are some recent Robert pictures from the past month or so. The first one starts with New Year’s Day 2013 where the family went to Playland Beach, which was closed.

Robert likes to play in the snow…

and make little snowmen.

Another one of Robert’s favorite things- candy! Here is the family on a visit to the Pez candy factory.

Robert’s Christmas Performance

Here is a video of Robert and Jason’s Christmas Performance with their pre-school class at Easter Seals.

(Also here is a look at last year’s performance on Jason’s website.)

Almost Christmas

Robert is excited about Christmas and has been having a great time getting ready. When we have asked him what he wants from Santa Clause, he used to say a Christmas Tree. After we got one, he started saying Tangerine Bear, which is a movie he watches on Netflix based on an out of print children’s book.
