Tanner at almost 3

favorite foods: Rice Krispies, brocoli, yogurt with sprinkles, "Mickey Bars" (did we take him to Disney too much this year?)
favorite thing to say that he shouldn't: "dumb baby" (compliments of Bryce)
LOVES: the garbage truck, the garbage can, the garbage, dump trucks, construction vehicles trains, motorcycles ("man-go!") playing in the water, doing whatever Bryce is doing, books (especially about garbage trucks!)
sleep: sleeping through the night about 75 percent of the time, usually up between 5:30-6:30. pitches a royal FIT when it's Daddy's turn to do bedtime. "Nooo, Mommy's turn tonightttttt!" is what he screams as I leave. (Torture.)  You'd think I was leaving him with a total stranger. (Daddy is strange, YES, but stranger? no.)
because he's so big: he's starting to like picking out his own clothes, getting his own water from the dispenser on the fridge, likes to help empty the dishwasher
Tanner language: motorcycle-"man-go", "Scoop-dump-truck"- excavator of any kind
dislikes: haircuts (although he didn't cry this last time. but he made his protest KNOWN.)  being closed out of Bryce's room
