/
Next up? Chase! Here's a glimpse at what a day in the life of our almost-three-year-old looks like.

8:10am - Wake up/change into clothes (with undies!)
8:20am - Eat breakfast snack (a few Cheerios, two prunes, a few craisins): this used to be a way to buy time as I was prepping breakfast when he was teeny but now it's just habit. And playtime.
