Boston at Three

Just wanted to remember what it was like to have Boston around the house at three years old. It's a fun age!

3 things he can do by himself:

1. Get a snack (Anytime he's bored he just helps himself to anything he can reach in the pantry or the fridge. I thought kids asked for snacks until they were like 10? Sometimes it's nice he can do it himself, but not all the time. There's a reason we have a child-lock on our pantry, and sometimes I wish we had one on our fridge. He's always trying to sneak food right before dinner.)

2. Get dressed (If you count things that are often put on inside out and backwards. :) Ha ha.)

3. Use the potty/wash hands

3 things he loves to do:

1. Ride his scooter.

2. Pretend like he's a monster, or dinosaur, and growl at everybody everywhere we go.

3. Play outside with sticks.

3 chores he helps me with:

1. Putting the clothes in the dryer and starting it, and getting the clothes out of the dryer.

2. Handing me dishes while we unload the dishwasher. He also likes to sit on the counter and hand me silverware. 

3. Picking up his toys and playing "basketball" as he throws them in the bin. 

3 shows he loves:

1. Curious George (His love for Elmo has been replaced by his love for Curious George.)

2. Leap Frog

3. Dora the Explorer (This is a new one. I recently checked a Dora movie out for him at the library and he loved it.)

3 movies he loves:

(These change, but as of right now...)

1. Bolt

2. Curious George 2

3. Lady and the Tramp (We just got it for Valentine's Day.)

3 favorite foods:

1. Yogurt

2. All fruit (especially blackberries, strawberries, grapes, oranges, pineapple, and bananas)

3. All cheese (cottage, string, feta, shredded, cream cheese, etc.)

(A new favorite is a tortilla with peanut butter and honey on it, and it must be rolled up, not folded. He requests this a lot for lunch and even breakfast sometimes.)

3 favorite books:

1. The Very Noisy Night

2. Maisy's Day Out (He loves books with flaps that he can lift, and these books usually have flaps, but I think we've checked them all out at the library now.)

3. Book of Mormon Reader (We are on our second time around with this now. He likes his bedtime routine of reading the Book of Mormon and saying family prayers, even though he's usually bouncing off the walls instead of listening. Although, we know that kids do pick up some stuff no matter how much it seems like they're not listening.)

3 favorite places to go:

1. Sea World

2. Chick-Fil-A

3. Pulte Pool

3 Songs he likes to Sing

1. Happy Birthday to Boston

2. Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam

3. Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Thanks for keeping us entertained Boston!
