4 1/2













My first baby is officially 4 1/2! I can't believe he is 6 months from being 5! I think 5 will be the most bittersweet birthday yet! At 5 he definitely no longer seems like a baby! He's grown up so much! He's turned into a wonderful big brother! He's still jealous at times but its obvious he loves and cares about his little sister! They get along really well at times! Other times not so much...I find the more they are around each other the better they get along. Like at Christmas break they got along really well but now that Colby is back in school they fight more?
Colby is doing so well in his 4 year old preschool this year. He goes 5 days a week 9-12 three of those days and Monday and Wed he goes 9-2. He loves school and loves his teachers and friends! He's so social and active! Preschool has been wonderful for him. This is his last year at AUMC and it will be sad to send him on to big boy school but the time must come. We are in the process of deciding on where to send him next year. I can't believe he will be in kindergarten.
He's a very healthy boy although he had his first ER visit back at Thanksgiving. He was sick with the stomach virus for over 2 weeks. He got dehydrated and had to go to the ER on thanksgiving night. That so far has been his most serious illness yet! We are so thankful for that! He weighs about 40-42 lbs. He seems so skinny though! He is also about 41 inches tall. He's one of the tallest kids in his class! He wears 4T clothing but his pants are soo loose on him! He needs 4T for the height but could probably go back to a 3T for his waist size!
He's very smart and we feel he may be gifted but I guess time in school will truly tell us that. He's still into cars but has recently gotton more into animals then cars. He's very loving and sensitive. He also has a very strong will and is very opinionated. He will let you know when he does not like something. He's well behaved at school and is good at home but we have had a few minor discipline issues with him lately.
He hasn't gotton an interest in sports yet...I am hoping to get him involved in teeball or tennis. He says he doesn't ever want to play soccer again..not sure why he did not like it?
He has a HUGE vocabulary and is so well spoken for a 4 year old. He has a lot of friends and just enjoys being around them. He also loves family! He pretty much enjoys everything he does! He's become pretty picky. He eats like a bird...I guess this is normal for his age though!
He has adjusted really well to us going to Calvary after being at MBC for his whole life! Like I say he's really well adjusted and just loves life! I can't believe he's 4 1/2 I can't imagine life without our active, crazy, stubborn, smart boy!!
