Grant at Age 3

What am I up to at age 3? Well, while I was 2 I think I accomplished a lot. I am potty trained. I started this quite early on (January). I've been good for quite a while - but it was the biggest accomplishment this year. This summer I learned to pedal a bike, hit a ball, shoot a basketball, kick a football, ride a scooter, ride a 2-wheeler (with training wheels), etc This fall I've been taking swimming lessons and a music class through the Tosa rec dept and just started skating lessons on my 3rd b-day at the Pettit. I'm pretty active and I think it's fun!

- I'm sorta in-between on naps. If we've had a busy morning or are in the car after lunch - I usually take a nap. If not though - no more nap.

- Typical wake up time - 6/6:30ish

- Favorite color is ORANGE

- Very talkative. (crazy the things he repeats, comprehends and spits back out at us at a later time)

- Eating is so-so. Not horrible but not great.

- Still drinking Carnation Instant Breakfast in my milk

- Favorite sleeping buddies - soft puppy blankie (#1), blue blankie, Spot and blue puppy, occasionally green blankie too

- Favorite foods - Scooby Doo mac n cheese, cottage cheese, fruit in general (pineapple, mand oranges, grapes, apples and strawberries), popsicles, corn on the cob

- LOVE watching tv - favorite show Curious George. I sit in my little red chair or on the couch and get "lost" in the show that is on. Now Mommy is limiting my tv watching time. Oh man!

- Love to be like Daddy

- Love being outside

- Wear 24 mos/2T pants (as long as they are adjustable waist) and 2T & 3T shirts

- Have size 7/7.5 shoe

- Like reading books - Favorites - "Bear Feels Scared"; "Jesus Calms the Storm"; Daniel & the Lion's Den story from his story Bible

- A few months ago started to realize my name is mentioned on a VeggieTale's music CD he received when he was baptised. I love this and giggle when I hear it!

- Sayings:

"Last morning" = past tense time period (yesterday, last night, etc)

"Pupcake" = cupcake

While eating dinner "Thanks for makin' this Mom"

- Like playing playdough, helping Mommy make stuff in the kitchen and helping clean (sweeping & vacuuming - I always need a turn"; I even help wash the kitchen floor)

- love brushing my teeth with my new electric toothbrush.

- LOVE balloons (helium, punching, deflated, etc)

- Can say my meal time prayer now along with bedtime

Haven't had my 3 yr dr appt yet, so I'm not sure how big I am. Still small - but getting bigger! :)
