Mr. Christopher has turned THREE! He is my joker, maker of funny faces, and maker of big messes! A few of my favorite Christopher phrases: 
“A little help here?” “Who’s gonna snuggle us?” and “Can I have a hug?” He is William’s best play-buddy, even though he almost always happens to be on the 
losing side of William’s made-up games. His favorite snacks include “stripey cookies” (fudge stripe cookies), mango juice, pickles, and graham crackers with milk. Poor little Christopher has his Daddy’s easy-going personality and his Mommy’s weak stomach and tendency for motion sickness. Spinning in a swing or driving up a winding canyon is NOT his idea of a good time. Christopher would happily be a night-owl if we’d let him. He also enjoys sleeping in late, seeing fireworks, watching Rescue Bots or Octonauts on Netflix, “camping” in the backyard with Daddy, and (usually) shopping with Mommy. He MUST be wearing socks at all times, including while sleeping, wearing sandals, or before stepping off the bath mat onto the cold tile floor. 3-year-old Christopher gave up his binkie quite easily but has no interest in potty training. Mind you he is mostly cooperative (unlike his predecessor–I won’t name names) and will happily sit on the potty and usually go when asked, but seems to not mind at all when the characters on his Paw Patrol underpants (and sometimes socks) get pee’d on. Chalk it up to being the second child, but I guess I’m OK with that until he’s ready. This past year has been an adventure as he moved from little brother to middle brother and his personality really started to shine. Happiest of Birthdays 3-year-old Christopher!! We’re looking forward to many more!
