My first swimming lesson, August 1998.
I, John Henry, lead a very busy life. Here's more about it.
What are my favorite things to do? Updated 10/27/99.
Well I'm 4.5 years old now and a typical happy, bright PreK'er. I love to read and write and learn new words. My daddy writes books at work for me to read to him. Life Is Great!
I've had to leave behind some of my favorite activities, like Gymboree and Kindermusik. I really miss them, but I've moved on to other big boy stuff. I enjoy staying after school for Picnic Day (hanging out with my friends on the playground) and for Miss Debbie's music class, its so much fun!
PreK -- I love going to school. In PreK we get to write our names and cook on Wednesday. We cook something from a different letter of the alphabet every week and a parent helps. This week we made Cookies.
Discovery Zone Fun Centers -- Hey, it's a really cool fun thing to do, except daddy gets caught in the tube slide.
Chuck E. Cheese -- I am an air hockey wiz! That's my favorite thing to at C E C now.
Sherman Oaks Castle Park -- my daddy's teaching me how to golf so I can be like Tiger Woods. I have my very own custom golf clubs too!
Griffith Park -- It's beautiful!
Stroll the Beach -- I like to see the dogs walk by! Check out Venice Beach - California and Santa Monica Area Travelers Guide .
The Mall -- Its so much fun to play with the other children in the play area, there are wooden animals to climb on and chase around.
Cats -- I love cats, especially Phoebe. She lets me pet her and touch her nose! I help my mommy feed her. Cleo likes me to pet her the most.
What are some of my favorite hangouts?
• SeaWorld My favorite attraction is the Wild Artic. We get to see a neat movie about polar bears and pretend we are in a helicopter and then go visit real polar bears!
• Welcome to Disneyland Where Pooh lives! I have been there a zillion times already! I really like the trolley ride with the big horse and the fire engine. But my most favorite are the teacups and Dumbo. I like going on the teacups 4 or 5 times in a row!
• Universal Studios Neat restaurants and fun rides. City Walk has water shooting up from the sidewalk!
• We lost grandma in a Las Vegas casino once. Oops! But it was fun anyway. New York New York is really neat, smoke comes up from the floor. Vegas Daily
What do I eat?
Ummmm, I love to eat Boston Market mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. And I don't like to sit in a booster seat anymore, I'm a big boy, and who cares if the table hits my chin anyways.
What are my favorite toys?
My mommy says I have too many toys! Right now my favorite is my computer. I let Daddy and Mommy borrow it sometimes. I still love to play with all my Winnie the Pooh toys. You can see pictures of him and learn more about him here: The Page at Pooh Corner and SUNET's Pooh Pictures
I love playing with my Thomas the Tank Engine, I have a table and a zillion trains. I also like the videos. I want to go to Totally Thomas - Thomas the Tank Engine Store as soon as I can talk my mommy into it!
I like to browse the Lakeshore® Learning Materials catalog, they have neat toys.
What do I like to watch on TV?
My favorites are Doug, CatDog, Figure It Out, Rugrats, Little Bear and Blue's Clues. I like to figure out Blue's Clues and I have a thinking chair! I think I have every Winnie the Pooh video there is. I also really like Mary Poppins, it has pretty music in it, and the Little Mermaid. I tell Mommy she looks like Ariel.
What the heck happened to all those doctors?
My 4 year check up went great, no problems. I made it to the 10% for weight for my chronological age and over the 25% for height. Wow! I had to have a flu shot and a DPaT shot. OUCH!
Guess what? I have hobbies!
I collect Crazy Bones, I have lots and lots of them. I like playing the Traditional Game the best. I also collect Beanie Babies, especially the *month* beanies, like Pumkin' for Halloween and Gobbles for Thanksgiving.
My MOST favorite thing in the whole wide world is:
Nursery Rhymes!!! Please come and visit my Nursery Rhyme page and check out my illustrations.
Other fun things I would enjoy if I were older:
My parents and my pediatrician say I am a drama king, so I would like stuff about the movies.
Go see my aunt Gigi's movie Stepmom , opening Christmas! It's going to be a big hit and don't forget your tissues.
Be sure to see uncle Bri's P S Y C H O , it's sure to be very scary!
