Tucker is such a joy! He has really become such a compassionate, loving, caring, fun, hyper child. He has so many sides to him! He's certainly an energetic boy and runs more than he walks. He loves trucks, forts, mac n cheese, and anything outside. He also is always concerned with why someone is "whining" (crying). He apologizes and says it's his fault if he does something wrong. He throws tantrums and would rather go to timeout sometimes than do what's expected. He is very concerned if someone is hurt or upset. He soaks up every piece of information thrown at him and LOVES to learn. He's able to count to 11 (often leaving out 10) and has a pretty good ABC song, although the letters are often mumbled and jumbled. He knows his colors and many of his shapes. He is loves to point out when things are same or different. He enjoy reading and especially likes Seek and Find books. Planes is his favorite movie, with Cars being a close second. He loves Bubble Guppies and PAW Patrol. Molly (BP) is his "best girl" and Ryder (PP) is his "best boy". He absolutely loves school and his teachers and is learning so much there. He loves Brayden and gets excited to share his toys and things with him. Brayden thinks Tucker is the coolest person ever and wants to copy and do everything Tucker does. He's very affectionate and loves to give kisses and hugs and has lately wanted me to cuddle with him. He is excessively outgoing, saying hi to everyone we see and meet. He has no problem talking to people (not always the best thing) and talking to himself! He is easily entertained and can have fun playing by himself or sitting in his bed chatting to himself (or the imaginary friend we've yet to meet).

I LOVE birthdays! Tucker had three celebrations! The first was with our family and some close friends. He had so much fun with everyone and was even very polite and said Thank You after he opened each gift (he was reminded about that before opening them)!
our only family photo of the week...thanks for the photobomb Chris!
Tucker had to try out some of his gifts during the "after party!"
This guy has been reaping the benefits of his brother having a birthday! Tucker has been surprisingly great about sharing his toys! So glad!
We celebrated with all of his buds at My Gym the next day! It was pure chaos of kids running everywhere having fun and Tucker had a blast! He was especially excited about the bubble machine...he was jumping and trying to eat the bubbles....weirdo! They also did zip-line rides for the kids which they loved:) So much fun!!
We inconveniently planned the party for the elite 8 game that UCONN was magically playing in...notice all the dads watching it on the computer:) Thankfully they won in the first 15 minutes of the party!
buds:)
I thought it was so cute-they put Tucker on a little sled and played the Rocky song while they pulled him around to high-five his friends.
On Tucker's actual birthday we went to Chip's for breakfast for the special birthday pancakes. Tucker explicitly wanted "pancakes with spinkles and syrup."
We brought cupcakes to school where his sweet teachers took picture for me. They have this special cupcake thing and candle, and give him a crown. He LOVED it!
We took the family to Habachi for dinner for the first time...it could become a birthday tradition! We went a little early and the place was empty! We had our table all to ourselves. Tucker LOVED the "fire fire" and Brayden was so enamored. Tucker kept asking the chef "why no more fire?" and the nice man kept doing more! Needless to say, Tucker and Brayden love "dubachi!"
They were watching so intently
More fire!!
He had opened so many presents already that he didn't even ask for any from us!
We gave him a "Marshall" card (from PAW Patrol-that was really just a dalmatian fire dog) that he got really excited about-very cute.
Some new Planes from Brayden
A new Logging Truck!
What would a 3rd birthday be without a bowl of ice cream sundae?!
Oh we just love this little boy SO very much and are so excited to see the complex person that he is becoming. What a unique little boy who captures the heart of all he meets!
