this kid turns 3 this week.
{necklace c/o: noonday}
he is turning into such a creatively awesome little boy.
the baby that i've always thought of him to be, is long gone...with the exception of diapers.
he still refuses to get rid of those.
he always tells me "on thursday, i'll go potty in the big boy potty."
well, many thursdays have passed and he is still rocking the dipes.
and p.s. yes, he needs a haircut. but you all know i love my little men to have long hair.
somebody called him a girl yesterday. awesome.

I think his hair is precious.
ReplyDeleteMy 4 year old tells me he's scared of going potty...or he says he needs to go like a big boy and rushes into the bathroom. No consistancy in this house!
I love his hair...and his little plaid shirt...and I'm now going to start referring to diapers as dipes.
ReplyDeletebasically i say dipes because i'm too lazy to type the word diapers.
Deleteobvi.
You should write a children's book with that title! Ha! Happy birthday to your baby turned man! They grow up so fast :)
ReplyDeletea childrens book with that title would indeed, be hilarious.
DeleteDarling boy, Darling Mama! I'm sure he'll be potty trained before Kindergarten...no worries ;)
ReplyDeletethat's what my grandma always says..."you won't have a kindergartner in diapers still".
Deletewe'll see :)
he's absolutely GORGEOUS! i LOVE LOVE LOVE the long hair!
ReplyDeletekeep it LONG!
soooooooooooooooo cute!
except I remember milo being 3 like it was yesterday, so how did kohen get to 3 already?!
stop it anderson crew, stop growing so quickly!
tara
i know. it's rude how fast they are all growing.
DeleteWho says he needs a hair cut?! I love it.
ReplyDeletei love it too!
Deletea love little boys with long hair. so cute.
ReplyDeleteNo need for a haircut when you are this cute! Same goes for potty training. In my opinion it is one of the harder things we must do as mothers. Or maybe I'm just no good at it. :-)
ReplyDeleteoh gurrrrl. i'm no good at it either.
Deletewhat a cutie :)
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute - long hair or shorter hair. Cassie x
ReplyDeleteoh gosh darnit!
ReplyDeletehe is adorable!
i love that little toothy grin!
it's awesome.
happy 3rd to your baby boy!
hopefully there aren't too many poo filled diaper thursdays!
xo
I still stand by my opinion that boys rock long hair. He looks adorable. But I know what you mean, my son got called a girl *cough* again yesterday...
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love these pics! Gorgeous. And so full o' love and laughs.
ReplyDeleteAlso, is it weird that I noticed you got your roots done! Huzzah!
huzzah! love my roots done.
DeleteWhat a cutie! My boys had long hair too...adorable. Potty will come in due time. My 3 year old, Jett, is obsessed with potty books where you can see the kids backside. Hey, whatever works!
ReplyDeleteMy little guy turns 3 this week too (26th), got called a girl a couple of weeks ago, got a haircut last night and adamantly refuses to give up the dipes. What is it with boys and potty training?
ReplyDeleteWOW how times flies Miss Emily!
ReplyDeleteThat means i've been reading your bloggy for about the same time! I was pregnant with my little one when I started reading your blog and she turns 3 next month.
Ive been following your motherhood journey and am inspired at how much love you have to give. I only have one little kiddo so far, but I know my heart has a lot more love to give :)
PS - I also read Casey's blog and found it so cute you too actually met, and totally think Apple and Olive need to be BFF's
lots of love from me, in Australia x
Both of my boys potty trained at 3 1/2 years old, less than a week to total potty use (day, night, pee, poop) with only 1-2 tiny accidents. Waiting is worth it!!
ReplyDeleteTell him you will feature him alone on "embrace the camera" if he goes on Thursday! Lol!
ReplyDeleteMy son didn't potty train until he was 3 1/2 years old and it drove my husband CRAZY! But like everything else in this young man's life, he does it when he's ready. And he does it well...once he was on the potty, he never looked back. It was awesome!
ReplyDeleteAND, my son (he's seven) gets called "her" and "she" all the time!! He has blonde, curly hair and it's not quite to the bottom of his neck. It's much longer than most (almost all) boys' hair. We let it up to him whether or not he wants it cut and it's always "no". He loves his hair and so do we! He's known by his hair! Your children are beautiful and he does not look like a girl!
Happy Birthday to your boy! He really looks like Caedmon in that last photo.
ReplyDeleteMy youngest two boys potty-trained after three. I really think it's easier to wait until they're ready.
my son has curly hair and it's about the same length as your son's. he still gets called a girl, too. but i agree, love my little man with longer hair. your family is absolutley adorable!
ReplyDeletehappy birthday to your boy!!! what a handsome little guy!!! also, LOVE the ancient ways necklace! :) i'm a noonday ambassador.... gotta say that necklace looks amazing over a white t-shirt. and isn't it awesome wearing a little bit of ethiopia? we are in the process of adopting from eth... and i know your girl is from there, too. love your blog. <3. gorgeous family you've got. and love your candidness about a mother's dire need for a savior. :) xo
