I'm having a hard time believing that Emmett is three. He's turning into such a big boy and developing quite the personality! Gone is my agreeable little guy and in his place is an opinionated, stubborn little boy. He and Clara fight all the time now because she can't just convince him to trade her toys anymore. Emmett knows what he wants and he gets very upset if he doesn't get it. We have about a million crying fits a day, but luckily he is still generally pretty easy to console and gets over it quickly.
Emmett is all boy and is so much rougher than Clara ever was. He loves to smash and crash and has been known to hit Clara when she does something he doesn't like something she does or wants a toy she has. We are working on controlling our emotions. Emmett loves trucks, cars, and anything that goes. When we're driving he yells every time he sees a "digger," crane, tractor, etc. I've found myself noticing them when I am driving alone now!
Although Emmett can be a little monster, he is still my sweet, lovely little guy. He constantly tells me, "I yike you Mama. And Dada and Cawah." He is always giving us hugs and kisses and still loves snuggling (when he slows down enough). He loves his stuffed animals and always hugs them and kisses them. Emmett also loves Elise and is very gentle with her and always concerned that she might pick up a tiny toy and choke on it. He always comes over to her and gives her hugs and kisses when she gets to our house in the morning and brings her toys!
My Bug loves all sports and constantly says he wants to be a baseball player when he grows up. The other options are a builder or a motorcycle driver (Clara promptly told him that was too dangerous). Emmett wants to play all sports and can't decide which he likes the most. He loves watching sports on TV and throwing all the different types of balls he has. Emee loves to swim, especially with his face in the water. He still uses a floaty, but tends to jump in the pool without it. When this happens and he has to be fished out, he is never concerned, only proud that he went underwater. I think we have a daredevil on our hands! He also loves "fixing" things and building. He plans to build a house when he is bigger and has offered to fix anything I break! He loves his tools and is excited anytime he sees Dada use a tool he has.
We haven't really worked with Emmett on any school type stuff but he can recognize his name and knows what letter all of our names starts with. He can sing the ABCs in English and Spanish and recognize most letters. Buggle is actually pretty good at counting and can count to 20 and count objects. He was actually doing simple addition once day and I have no idea how he learned.
This little Bug is my little buddy and we just love him to pieces! Clara always talks about how cute her baby brother is and how much she loves him. The feeling is pretty mutual and if Emmett wakes up before Clara he is legitimately sad that he can't play with her. Watching the two of them together (when they're playing nicely) warms my heart!

Emmett's Stats
Weight: 31.5 pounds
Height: 36 inches
What Emmett Wears
He's in mostly 3T but still fits into some 2T shorts (not pants) and his shoes are either 6 or 7 depending on the brand.
Things Emmett Loves
Mama and Dada, Clarita, Bailey, and Elise, fruit, animals-especially his cats, swinging, baths, bubbles, being outside, climbing, balls, running, jumping, dancing, bikes, scooters, helmets, stuffed animals especially neigh neighs, copying Clara and Bailey, dinosaurs, puzzles, cars/trucks, sports, his BBQ, tools.
Things Emmett Does Not Love
Not being able to do what Clara does, having to wait, being told no, getting a toy taken away from him, Clara not sharing.
Eating
Emmett continues to love fruit and pizza. He added sausage in this year, but everything else is hit or miss. He is so stubborn when it comes to eating and what he eats really just depends on the day. If he doesn't want to eat something it is pretty impossible to get him to and he can't even be bribed with dessert anymore. Sometimes he sits down at dinner, looks at his food, and announces that he doesn't want dessert meaning he's not going to eat. If he refuses to eat dinner now I just leave it on the table and if he's hungry he can have it later. If not he goes to bed without eating. Emmett generally loves cereal and eats several bowlfuls for breakfast so at least he starts the day right!
Talking
Our quiet child turned into a chatterbox over the past year! I think he talks more than Clara and he literally never stops. He's still pretty difficult to understand and although his grammar is pretty good, he is missing a ton of sounds. He can't say F, L, P, S, V, and probably a million others. I am already planning that he will need to go to speech in school.

How Emmett Sleeps
Emmett goes to bed between 8:30 and 9:00 and sleeps until around 6:30 or 7:00. He takes a nap between 1:00 and 2:00 for 3 to 4 hours. He sleeps in his twin bed with water, a pile of his favorite toys (at the moment), and a million animals. His favorites are his bunnies (neigh neighs) and he now has a collection of four (a mama, dada, Clara and baby) who he named Coocoobaba, Tatatuhneighneigh, Baby Neighneigh, and Thumper (he obviously came with that name). He's still a great sleeper and often has to be woken up from nap and in the mornings. Clara will often get him up when she wakes up and wants to play.
Teeth
He finally grew all of his teeth! The last one literally popped through a couple days before his birthday!
