(marcus at the zoo yesterday with the jaguar)marcus turned 3 yesterday. i can't believe he's already that old, where has time gone??? in honor of his birthday, i thought i should post a list of some of marcus' favorite things.
1. marcus loves turning our couch cushions into trains, airplanes, boats, cars, and spaceships. he can do this for hours. while on/in the various vehicles, he's usually going to target or costco.
2. marcus enjoys having very elaborate conversations with his aunt amanda, when she is not around. he talks to her while trying to not fall asleep, while playing, while at dinner...fortunately, he does also talk with her when she's on the phone or he sees her in person.
3. marcus loves reading. he has some favorite books but mostly he just loves to read.
4. marcus' favorite foods are blueberries, smoothies, oshinko, french fries, and sprinkles for his rice. when all else fails, he will eat these.
5. marcus likes to call me sally and tasha and kevin mater and tyronne from "cars" and "the backyardigans" respectively. he is lightening mcqueen and pablo. simon is austin, he doesn't have a "cars" alter-ego yet.
6. marcus loves his little brother. he decided that simon's crib should be right next to his bed rather than across the room (which really is pretty much next to his bed anyways, but apparently not close enough). they like to make each other laugh when they wake up or are trying to not fall asleep.
7. marcus loves to laugh and has a silly fake laugh that makes him really laugh.
8. marcus loves to see deanna. he gets very mopey if more than a couple weeks goes by without seeing her.
9. marcus loves playing with his legos and cars (from "cars"). we are exploiting this love by bribing him with cars and legos if he uses the potty...so far he only wants to talk about what he'll get if he does it.
10. marcus loves a good snuggle with both his mom and dad, the best is if he's between us.
so there's a bit of marcus. here are some links to january photos, february photos, and videos (this links to one of the videos, if you can't get to the others from there please let me know). enjoy!
