As a three and a half year old, Pierce is really coming in to his own. He has started writing his letters, and loves to know how things are spelled. He loves art and other projects. He is into imaginative play, and will spend up to 2 hours in his room doing "quiet time" entertaining himself with his "boat game", "circus game", school, and reading books. He loves to play with others, but is also perfectly content on his own. He is increasingly independent, and can do his own carseat buckle, put on and zip his coat and unbutton his shirt. He loves teaching Teddy about all of these things, and is still just as loving and affectionate as always. When he grows up he wants to be a bear trainer, a doctor or teacher, and a Daddy! Pierce is looking forward to welcoming another baby into the house, and has a baby of his own growing in his belly.
Recently, Pierce's class put on an art show for the families at school. He worked hard all month on different art projects, working in different media and using different tools to create artwork. We didn't hear much about what was going on in the classroom. We were then invited for a gallery reception where our proud artist showed off all of his work. We all got a little dressed up for the occasion and Pierce took so much joy in his artwork. The event was adorable, and the hard-working artist and his little brother got to celebrate with some snacks and juice in the classroom at the end of the show!
It is amazing to watch Pierce grow and change, and really turn into a little boy. He continues to amaze us daily with his knowledge, and his questions as he begins to understand the world around him!
