Ben turned 3 years old on Monday! I can't believe how old he looks in these pictures. Ben weighs not quite 30 pounds and is 36.5" tall. He is in the 25th percentile for both although I'm not sure she got a good measurement of his height because he was a little slouched over. Either way he is a healthy little boy. He passed his vision test and didn't need any shots. Ben is such a skinny kid his 2T clothing hangs off of him. If it wasn't for the length of clothing then he could easily wear 18 month clothes.
Ben still loves his milk, fruit, and vegetables. Getting him to eat any protein is a chore!
Ben is a very active kids and loves to be outside. He loves to go exploring in the woods with his daddy. Every evening he loves to run laps around our house. He also loves to play baseball and football with his daddy.
Ben has so many funny things he says! Listening to him talk is one my favorite things. Every morning he asks me, momma what big day I got. No pressure there LOL! Whenever he is talking about something being his favorite, he calls it his best. He will say momma matoes (tomatoes) are my best! He loves to say that's a great idea! One of his newest words is property. He will ask me while we are driving where our property is and then point out what is not our property.
Ben has become quite the storyteller as well. His grandparents asked him one day how he scratched his foot and he told them a coyote bit him and that his daddy had to hit the coyote in the head with a stick to get him to run away. One day someone asked him what kind of fish he catches at the ranch and he told them sharks!
Ben is trying to drop his afternoon nap, which I am not ready for. It is nice though to occasionally skip his afternoon nap and then have an early bedtime. He typically sleeps from 8:30pm to 7am and has a two hour nap around 2pm.
I do believe 3 years old is going to be more challenging than 2 was. He was never much of a tantrum thrower. Now he is getting to point where he wants to challenge us with everything we ask him to do. Thankfully though he is still super sweet most of the time. He usually asks me a couple of times a day to hold him, which I love to do. He also tells me all the time, momma you are my best friend.
Ben is such a fun, sweet, funny boy and we are so blessed to be his parents!
