Three year old Parker: Favorites

I saw this idea on Pinterest, to ask your child the same questions every year on their birthday and keep a record of their answer. Love this. So here it goes...

 1. What is your favorite color? purple
2. What is your favorite toy? I like the pirate ship, because that's the way Parker's do. 
3. What is your favorite food? daddy's cereal (Honey bunches of oats) and pizza (actually he doesn't like it at all)
4. What is your favorite tv show? Tangled... random. He's seen it once. He actually likes Little Einsteins, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and chip and dale
5. What is your favorite thing to eat for lunch? Nothing. 
6. What is your favorite outfit? My train shirt. 
7. What is your favorite game? My favorite game is chop chop timber (a wrestling game with daddy). 
8. What is your favorite snack? goldfish
9. What is your favorite animal? elephants
10. What is your favorite song? Jesus wants me for a sun-beep
11. What is your favorite book? The Hungry Bear
12. Who is your best friend? Sadie and Carter
13. What is your favorite cereal? daddy's cereal (honey bunches of oats... he eats 6-8 bowls a day)
14. What is your favorite thing to do outside? I like to play and ride my bike.
15. What is your favorite drink? chocolate milk
16. What is your favorite holiday? Christmas... actually Christmas eve... I like holidays
17. What do you like to take to bed with you at night? White blanket and train blanket and my toys
18. What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast? Pancakes and sausage
19. What do you want for dinner on your birthday? Ummm... tacos (another random answer that he doesn't really eat). He usually eats cereal, but has been better about eating some of what we are eating.  
20. What do you want to be when you grow up? A doctor... because that's what boys do.  

Oh, and sweetest thing at the doctor today. We went for his 3 year physical (weight: 31 pounds, height: 37 inches). He hadn't had a flu shot yet, so I wanted to get that done, but I didn't tell him. At the end, I told the nurse to bring in the flu shot and I told him he had to get a little poke. He was so brave and didn't even cry when he got the shot.

Then, we had to go over to the lab to get a lead and anemia test done for preschool. After he had just had a poke, he WAS NOT interested in waiting around to get yet another poke. And unfortunately the lab was packed and we were having to wait around for a while. He was crying and telling me he wanted to go home. Can't blame the guy. The anticipation was killing him. Everyone else in the room was over 70 years old, and thought the boys were so cute, even though Parker was melting down (thankfully not in a tantrum way, just a pathetic scared/sad way). I started having parker "perform" for everyone, to distract him. He started hopping around the room, walking backwards, etc... They started giving him tips for reducing the pain during a blood draw. It was so cute. Finally they called his name, and even though he was super scared, he did great and got to pick out a few stickers. When he walked out of the room, back into the waiting room, the whole place erupted in applause! Parker started pumping his arms and showing everyone his bandaid around his elbow. It was so sweet. I'll never forget his little face, or theirs. They helped him get through that, and he felt really proud of himself in the end.

 We went to Chick-fil-a as a reward. You can see his cotton ball on his elbow.
