Otso: 3 Years, 5 Months

Summary
His development is more subtle these days. He still gets very angry and runs away to be by himself. But when he's happy he is a sweet boy who loves to snuggle.

Learning/Development
His comprehension of the little things is growing. He works hard to articulate to us descriptions like "the bad guys are wearing green" in a show.

Language
English is still the strongest, but lately he enjoys saying appropriate sentences in Norwegian and telling us "that's what we say in barnehage". And he made big leaps in Finnish with Vaari and Leena.

Toys/Games/Other
He enjoyed the "SuperLand" at the hotel in Sarpsborg. The first day, Lumi led him around the place, probably out of his comfort zone. But then next day he confidently enjoyed it on his own, and played a bit of mini golf with Isä. He also liked the nerf guns, which he calls "shooters" which somehow sounds nicer than "guns".
First shooting toy: a figure with a gun that shoots a plastic projectile (kind of like a dull dart?), from McDonalds.

Social
We overheard him playing with little dolls, making them crash and bump each other and then say " sorry! "
He likes to talk about his friends at barnehage. It's nice that he has a real social life now.
At suomikerho, he and Eino have a great time together. They play with cars and chase each other and scream with laughter.

Eating
Favorites: eggs, ice cream
He doesn't always eat as well as he used to, but then he'll go on a spree of being insatiable.

Sleeping
Some nights he is very proud about sleeping in his own bed all night like a big boy. Other nights he begs to sleep with us.

Health
He wants to pee "like Marvin" (ie standing up). Later in the month he has stopped this (thank goodness!).
