Johnny's 3 year stats

Johnny's stats from his 3 year check-up:

Weight: 32 lbs (53-54th percentile)
Height: 37.4" (48th percentile)

He has definitely slimmed down as he has gotten older but is still a good sized little guy!  At 3 years old, Johnny is quite a fun and lovable kiddo.  He loves his siblings, following Molly's orders 24/7 and dishing out hugs (some welcomed, some too harsh!) to Samuel any chance he gets. 
I would say Johnny can recognize at least half of the letters in the alphabet.  He can write "Joh" but we are working on the rest!  Johnny enjoys playing outside, loves the water, is shy at first but fearless in his comfort zone.  We can often look to Johnny to help out whether it be helping daddy water the trees or helping mommy take out the trash.  I think he is a kind-hearted child.
We love Johnny for his endless energy and playful personality, he is one special boy!

Johnny turns 3

Johnny turned 3 last week.  Paul and I really wanted his birthday to be special and be all about him as he is often overshadowed by his younger and older siblings.  The entire day was centered around Johnny with his party being the highlight.
We asked him on several occasions what he would like to do for his birthday party and finally figured out an inflatable water slide would be a hit.  We invited just a couple friends over and let them splash and slide until they were worn out.  We followed that with a little food, cookie-cake, and presents.  Without a doubt, Johnny felt special the whole day and we were pleased to see him enjoy all the attention.
