Hank: 3 Year Stats

The Hankster is FINALLY three!  It feels like three should have come a long time ago, given how big he is and the fact that almost every friend he has already turned three this year.  At last, it's his turn!  Hank is currently enjoying swimming (Preschool Level 2) and gymnastics (Inch Worms level).  He loves gymnastics a lot more than swimming, but he's still appeasing us and making an attempt to like being under the water.  Here are the answers from Hank's three year interview:

1. How old are you? 3
2. What is your favorite color? white
3. What's your favorite television show? Blaze and the Monster Machine
4. What's your favorite outfit? Batman shirts
5. What is your favorite animal? giraffe
6. What is your favorite toy? My new garbage truck!
7. What song do you love? "I Am A Child of God"
8. What do you want to be when you grow up? BATMAN!
9. What is your favorite book? Any "Llama, Llama" book.
10. What is your favorite thing to do outside? play golf
11. Where is your favorite place to go? the zoo
12. What are you really good at? school work
13. What is your favorite food? grapes
14. If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go? Disneyland
15. What makes you happy? Playing with my toys.

Hank had his annual check-up with Dr. Landaw today.  Our visits keep getting shorter as there is a lot less to discuss these days and there have been no major medical issues yet.  When he was younger, I used to stress about him meeting his benchmarks from month to month, but as the benchmarks become more spread out, I am relieved to see he meets or surpasses his benchmarks for turning three.  No shots today, which I will take any day!  It makes our visits so much more pleasant and gives Hank a more positive association with the doctor.  Hank is 40.5 inches tall (97th percentile) and is 35 lbs. 10 oz.  (84th percentile).  Hank continues to keep us on our toes with laughter, wit and occasionally trying our patience.  Let's see where this coming year takes us Hankie boy!
