Kale turned 4 on April 15th. I just cannot believe that he is already 4. It literally feels like I was just pregnant with him. This time next year we will be enrolling him in kindergarten...surreal!
He really understood "birthday" this year and had been talking about his birthday for a least a month. He had specific items that he asked for and knew the exact date of his birthday (he told everyone about it).
He received lots of neat gifts from family on his birthday. He got several minion shirts (this of course, was on his list), a camera, a toy boat, some board games, puzzles, planes characters, and stock (from us--he was not too excited about that, but maybe one day he will be).
Liam did not understand why he couldn't open presents, but Kale was a good sport and let Liam open one of his.
I tried to get one good picture of Kale to document him as an official four year old...but four year olds don't like to sit still for the camera.
He had a great birthday. We opened presents, had chocolate chip pancakes, went to Monkey Joe's, met friends for lunch, and then went to see Rio 2 as a family. He and Liam gorged themselves on candy and popcorn. A four year old's dream day!!!
At four, Kale
- can pump his legs to swing
- identify all of his letters and sounds
- is getting pretty good at coloring in the lines
- loves the movie, Planes
- has a rather sophisticated vocabulary at times
- is convinced that Kris plays with toys at work and has a swimming pool on the roof of his office (when Kris gets home from work, he will often ask, "Dad, did you play with your toys today?")
- loves peanut butter sandwiches (no jelly)
- is still a picky eater, but is branching out a bit
- can swim
- is great a gross motor activities such a climbing, pedaling, running, playing sports, etc.
- is still rather reserved in big groups
- loves to say his prayers at night (he always says, "thank you God for Jesus." Love it!)
- favorite activity is going to the movie (and eating popcorn and candy while there)
- still naps occasionally, but always has quiet time
- sleeps for roughly 10-11 hours at night.
- is still such a sweet boy! He loves to cuddle and gives hugs and kisses. I hope that never goes away.
