John Turner at 3

I have been wanting to write a post about John Turner at 3 years old. There is so much that I want to remember about him at this age. He is just precious...well, most of the time! HA HA!! We have actually had some challenging moments with this boy since he turned 3. I know some of it has to do with having a new baby in the house. He is a smart, curious, creative, strong-willed and energetic boy!





Here are a few things I want to write down about him so I don't forget.


He weighed 29 pounds and was 37 1/2 inches tall at his 3 year check-up. He is still a skinny little thing, but he has started gaining weight. He was even on the chart for weight this time...just barely!


He can spell his name (well half of it) he can spell Turner perfectly. We are working on John. He can write a T and a J kind of... we are working on that too.



He can say the entire Pledge of Allegiance. It is the cutest thing you have ever heard!



He can name and locate at least 5 states on the US map. He has quite an interest in geography



He knows all of his ABC's and the sounds each makes



He can count to 20 and can name some of his numbers- I am thinking he is going to be my language arts child--not a math child



He loves everything to do with his daddy right now--he loves spending the night at the hunting camp, feeding the deer or turkey or just riding around the hunting land on the buggy! In a few years he is going to be gone with Carlton every weekend!



He has quite an imagination. He loves to pretend we are fire breathing dragons and chase each other around, loves to pretend he is a fireman putting out fires, loves to prepare pretend meals for our family



He also loves to pretend his stuffed animals are babies. I mean they get diapered, fed, changed, burped and rocked to sleep!



He loves to sing and dance!



He is a pro on his tricycle and we are thinking he will be moving on up to a real bike before long!



He still enjoys reading books and working on puzzles



He loves going to school and to Sunday School. He gets very excited on Sunday mornings to go see Mrs. Karen, his SS teacher



He is totally potty trained now! HALLELUJAH!! We finally poop on the potty!! YIPPEE!!



He loves eating Mexican food! He wants to go out to eat cheesy rice every day! He also asks me to stop at Taco Bell at least once a week and order him a cheese roll-up



The boy LOVES some ice cream!



He is starting to be able to go without naps--I am not ready for this one!



He loves to have his Gran, GiGi, SuSu or Johnnie Nell to come over and play or take him places



He will build with blocks for hours!



We watch Calliou a lot!! The boy is obssessed with Calliou!!
