Preston 3-year-old Interview and Stats

My name is: Preston (aka: PrePre, Friendliest Friend, PJ)

I'm: 3-year-old

Things I love: Airplanes! Trains, trucks, music.

Catch Phrase: Can I go on an airplane tomorrow?  'Roar' Welcome (randomly, without being thanked for anything)

Favorite Song: depends on the situation.  In the car it is 'On Top of the World", for Family Home Evening it is "We Believe" (usually the 4th Article of Faith song), for bedtime has been "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" everynight for the past 6th months, but when asked at parent ed class to choose his favorite song to sing it was always "Jingle Bells"

Height: 40.63" (97%)

Weight: 37lb 15oz (93%)

Sleeping: About 12 hours 7pm-7am.  After struggling with sleep for months and months, I finally decided to drop his nap.  He was napping great with no problem going down, but couldn't go to sleep at night until really late despite how early or short his naps were.  So, about 2 months ago I had him stop napping.  He does fine without a nap, but enjoys still having a quiet play time on his own.  Stopped nursing soon after we moved, with the changes in rooms and schedules through off his normal routine.  Officially weaned himself at the end of February at about 32months.

Happy Birthday Preston!

Preston turns 3 today!

He has been so excited, singing happy birthday to himself for a couple weeks now.

He specifically wanted a black airplane cake with m&ms on it this year.  James and I worked together to build and decorate.  James added the finishing touch making a propeller out of k'nex, and covering it with fondant.

Preston asks to go on an airplane at least once every. single. day. I thought he would move past it when we went on an airplane trip to El Paso in February, but as soon as we got back he continued to ask to go on an airplane ride.  Luckily for him we have a couple more plane trips planned this year.

When I asked him what he wanted for his birthday meals, he said just the airplane cake.  So he has been pretty easy to please this year.  We celebrated with family on Sunday, and are doing some fun stuff with friends today to keep on celebrating.
