My Sweetheart Cade,
You are 4 years! So far 4 is AWESOME!! You've always been pretty "with it" socially, but you have really seemed to mature over the past few weeks. You've become a total sweetheart and I couldn't be more in love with the 4 year old you. Don't get me wrong, you can still be difficult at times, but we are starting to see your sweeter, softer side much more! Here's a little more about you at four:
- You weigh 33lbs (51%tile), you are 41.25 inches tall (71%tile), you wear size 4T in clothes and 10.5 in shoes.
- You continue to be a great eater - you eat a lot and you aren't too picky. Your favorite foods are fruit (your favorite fruits are mango, kiwi, raspberries, blackberries, oranges, and grapes), pasta, pizza, and PB&J. You like broccoli, but don't really care for too many other vegetables (but you will eat ANYTHING to get a treat on treat night)!
- You are a good sleeper. You still nap for 1-2 hours a day. You like for Mommy to sing you a song before you go to sleep.
- You are a very happy little guy. You wake up in the best mood every day and you tell me you love me at least 20 times a day. Your new favorite game is to tell me how much you love me (i.e. - I love you all the way to God and back times infinity). We go back and forth and you try to trump me. :) It's very sweet. You love, love, love your mommy and give me tons of hugs and kisses every day. You do NOT like when Daddy hugs me and ALWAYS run at us screaming and stepping between us when you see us too close. :)
- You are loud, boisterous and ridiculously energetic. At your conference your teacher said you are the smartest in your class, but you are also the 'roughest' in your class. You are very physical with your body and you play much rougher than many other kids. You're not doing it to be mean, you're just super physical. Your teacher said we need to work on keeping your hands to yourself and not being so rough while playing with others. You love to run and you're quite fast!
- You are confident and outgoing. You always say hello to other adults when we're out. You're also very social and enjoy playing with other kids.
- You're very competitive.
- You've become a very good big brother! Most of the time you are super sweet to Luke and look out for him and help him. You guys play very well together, but you don't like it when he messes with things you've been working on (building, for example). You've gotten much better and sharing your toys
- Your favorite TV shows are PJ Masks and PAW Patrol. You still love to watch TV. I think you would sit and watch it for hours if I let you.
- You're pretty neat and organized. Your teacher says you are meticulous about cleaning up at school (stacking the blocks neatly, etc.). You clean up pretty well at home, but you get overwhelmed with big messes and whine for me to help you.
- You are a very smart boy. You know all your letters and letter sounds, you can spell your first and last name, and a few short words. You know how to say words slowly to spell them. You can read a few short words (cat, mommy, daddy, etc.) and can read other CVC words. You also know your address and phone number and are starting to experiment with different ways to get to a number (7 = 5+2, 4+3, 6+1, etc.) You seem to learn new things very easily. You are curious and inquisitive.
We couldn't be more proud of you and we love you all the way to outer space...times infinity.
On your birthday you had a special birthday breakfast, we met up with friends at Everland and then went to lunch at Chick-fil-A, opened a few presents, had a birthday cupcake, and a party bath! We ended up having an impromptu birthday party at Chick-fil-A. Your very thoughtful friends brought you a gift and a cookie cake. The people who worked at Chick-fil-A also made you feel very special. We had your Batman party on Friday with Grandmother, Granddaddy, Betty, and TJ. We hope you felt super special on your big day!
