3 1/2 Already?

My middle man is 3 1/2 already.  In some ways, he seems even older than that.  At 3 1/2, Eli:

-loves to play with 'guys'.  He's always making things fight
-is so animated.  His facial expressions kill me
-can start to put letters together to sound out simple words
-will play with anyone.  He is easy to have around and plays well with others.
-plays with little buddies, Carson Brown and Asher Winegar
-has 2 great cousins his age- Zach and Dexter
-likes Jake and the Neverland Pirates on Disney
-is sooooo competitive. Always wants to be first, compares who gets what, gets upset if not the winner
-can be quite moody.  Not a morning person.
-very coordinated and wants to play sports
-is a good big brother to Tyce and plays silly with him.
-best buds with Ethan
-fun to have around. We love him!
