Vince - just shy of 4

Vince my prince has grown up so much! He's a clown and a genius, all rolled into one. He doesn't stop moving or talking, EVER! lol.


His vocabulary is limitless. If he doesn't understand a word, he asks about it. He sings songs and interchanges words to make it his own song. He dances around and makes silly noises to entertain his sister constantly.


He says the funniest things... he tells us we live on Mulberry road because that's where Hucko, from Busytown Mysteries lives. He watches him on his (mommies) ipad. He loves watching Netflix on there! Some of his favorite shows are Diego, Chuggington, Little Einsteins & Backyardigans. He can navigate the ipad very easily, sometimes showing us or my parents stuff we don't know. It's loaded with books and games for him of Thomas and Toy Story. He loves playing angry birds, and recently started using a link from there to go to Youtube to find more cartoons. We have to watch him closely when he does that ;).


He's probably in the minority of three year olds that have a computer in his room. We recently hooked up my old college computer and he plays games on it, mostly "Putt Putt". A game he navigates a little car around to get gas and save animals. And he of course has Netflix on there.


He loves drawing. He draws me monsters and trains all the time. The monsters usually have a ton of feet! and the trains have a lot of tracks!


He still plays with his trains a ton (I vowed this year not to buy him any because after all, he has over 60 trackmaster trains!). I almost succeeded until the Thomas franchise put out a new movie with new trains - Day of Diesels. We just bought him one and have a couple in tow for Christmas.


He loves going to Grandma's house and would rather be there than at our house anytime. Grandma and Grandpa love playing with him and pick him up everyday from his "school" at 2:30.


He is so observative like his daddy. We went to a Ranger's game a couple months ago. About a month later, we were going down the same road, Industrial/Collins, and he asked if we were going back to the baseball game. We asked him why, he said, we passed that golfball place last time we went! He also memorizes things easily. He learned a prayer at school on for their Thanksgiving feast and recited it to us after school on Tuesday. At the dinner table on Thanksgiving, I asked him to say grace and he did it flawlessly. It wasn't short either and I couldn't recite back immediately.

He doesn't always listen or sit at the table when we want him to eat, or share toys for that matter, but he is still our prince. We love him so much and glad he is the big brother to our little girl.


Here are some pictures from the last couple months...


at his pumpkin patch at school...


at my work for Halloween with Carmen...

and at home, when he decided to make every puzzel that he owned, many couldn't fit in the picture...




We let his hair grow long so he could be Diego for Halloween. Everyone loves it but us, so we'll see if we continue to let it grow or not!
