Andrew's Favorite Things {3-year-old Edition}

I started this “Favorite Things” series when my oldest was 2-years-old as a way to both document what he was into at that age and offer ideas to other parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, etc.

Here are all of Aidan’s posts so far:

Last year, I added Andrew to the fun with his own 2-year-old edition of “Favorite Things.”

Today is his THIRD BIRTHDAY, so it’s time to update his list.

Join me for some fun as we take a look into this little 3-year-old’s life.
