the big 3

I seriously don't know what we would do without this little boy, he knows just how to push Leila's buttons, is teaching Asher how to be tough and just makes us laugh all the time.

*I will update Grey's height and weight when we go to the doctor next week
*He has brown eyes with flecks of green, sometimes they look a mossy color.  He has brownish blond hair and has had so many haircuts I can't even count.  He has nice thick hair that we are all jealous of.  He likes his hair long and does not want us to cut it short.
*He has no opinion on what he wears, unless he sees one of his super hero shirts and then he insists on wearing it.
*He is a great sleeper, he doesn't fight going to bed and is content after 1 book is read.  He sometimes can't fall asleep right away but will usually just lay in his bed talking to himself or he will come down stairs and talk to mom or dad for a few minutes and then just put himself back to bed.  He loves to nap and sometimes asks if it is nap time yet.  He wakes up early in the morning but I think Leila actually wakes him up.
He loves breakfast foods, any kind of cereal, oatmeal, pancakes, french toast, fried eggs (not scrambled), bacon, sausage and hash browns.  He sometimes asks for cereal for lunch.  He also loves soup, pizza, spaghetti, any kind of pasta, tacos, anything with meat, smoothies, strawberries, bananas, apples, oranges, grapes and lunch meat.  He does not like cheese or sandwiches.  His drink of choice is milk or ice water and he loves a juice box but I rarely buy them.
*He is pretty good at sharing and gets along well with other kids.  He pretty much only fights with his sister.  He also likes to bug Asher especially when he is bored or is not getting enough attention (like when I'm trying to make dinner).  He is known to tackle Asher and put blankets over his head and push him down.
*He hates helping clean up his toys or any messes he makes.  He ends up just playing with his toys instead of cleaning them up.  He is really good at clearing his plate from the table, throwing things in the garbage, helping clean the toilet and unloading the silverware from the dishwasher.
*Greydon loves to help me cook, he is my little cooking and baking buddy while Leila is at school.  He also loves play dough, painting and doing crafts.
*Greydon has a great imagination and can play for a long time with his dinosaurs or cars making up stories and scenarios as he plays.  It's so fun to listen to him play, he comes up with some crazy ideas.
*Greydon loves books, he doesn't have any favorites because he picks a new one each night.  I also find him in his room just looking at books.
*Greydon has a great memory and can remember song lyrics, names of people, any little thing I've told him, past events, random facts, and the first 4 Articles of Faith.  Last week we were looking at a toy magazine and he pointed to  picture and said, "Ryder has that toy," and it was totally a toy that Ryder had.  It has been almost a year since he has been at Ryder's house, I couldn't believe he could even remember it.
*He is turning in to quite the daddy's boy.  He is always asking for his daddy and has even been calling out for daddy during the night if he needs something.
*Greydon is quite sensitive and hates getting in trouble, he falls to pieces if he gets in trouble.  He is also very concerned about others, if someone is crying he is very worried.  He hates to hear Asher crying in his bed, the minute Asher wakes up Greydon is busting in to his room to save him.  He is also very protective, if we are playing outside he gets very concerned about Asher's safety, if Asher even looks at the street he begins yelling to me that Asher is getting to close to the road.
*Anyone that is ever around Greydon just falls in love with him.  People are always telling me that he is so funny and such a character (which is how I would describe him).  He is just so darn lovable!
We love our big cuddly guy so much!
