Eddie at Three Years Old

Favorite Foods-This one is actually hard. He is going through a phase where he won't eat anything, even the food I make because he requested it. He loves treats-cookies, donuts, and M&Ms. He almost always eats peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. He usually eats noodles. He likes cheddar cheese. He likes buttered toast with no crust.
Favorite Toys-He loves to build train tracks. They always have to be a "circle" (closed track). He just recently is getting really good at building them by himself. Airplanes
Favorite Things to do-He loves to play in the sink, especially with a lot of soap. He loves to jump on our bed. He loves to paint. He loves to play games. He likes to watch tv and "moomees". He loves to pretend that he is a character from a tv show, a cat, a robot, or an airplane. He loves to be told stories. He especially loves stories that have "an Eddie in them". He loves to just hear us tell things that happened to him during that day. He loves to hear stories that happened to me or Ben or other family members "when we were little". He is always telling us "things that happened to him when he was little" that are actually stories we have told him from our pasts. He also loves stories with animals and his favorite characters from tv. He is also enjoying the classic stories, like Goldilocks. He wants to hear every story repeated twice, at least.
Favorite Games-He loves to pretend he is a "bad robot" coming to get us. We have to say, "Look at that robot that's coming!". We have to scream when he gets to us and run away. He likes Uno Attack, Memory, I Spy on the computer, the cake game on the computer, the car racing game on the tv. He likes to build puzzles. He even sometimes likes to work on adult puzzles with me.
Favorite songs-With scriptures every night he asks to sing "Popcorn Popping". When I put him to bed, he always wants me to sing "Miss Molly Had a Dolly-the one with the silly letters" (he tells me a letter and I substitute that letter for many of the first letters of the words in the song). He likes me to sing "There was and old lady who swallowed a fly". The last song he always wants me to sing is "ABCs", the version from Super Why.
Favorite books-I Spy books. He chooses probably seven books from the library each week, and he never "chooses" to take any of them back. His favorite books are always changing, but he has loved "3 Magic Balls" for a long time now. "Sounds on the Go"
What he doesn't like-He doesn't like the dark. He doesn't like Peter to "astroy" (destroy) his train tracks and other things he builds. He doesn't like to get his hair washed in the bathtub; he's worried about getting water on his face.
Favorite TV shows and characters-Handy Manny, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Super Agent Oso, Super Why, Curious George
Favorite places to go-the park, Lake Ella, the library, out to eat
Favorite animals-He still loves cats so much. He has ever since he turned one. He sleeps with his "kitty katty".

Ohhhh... what a sweetheart! I love hearing about him! I'm especially intrigued by his liking "when we were little" stories and that he makes them his own. That's so cool!
