4 1/2 Years Old

 

It's that time again! My little one is 4 1/2 years old and has grown by leaps and bounds in the last 6 months. This will be his last 6 month post! I will do once a year updates starting with age 5.

Weight: 35 lb

Height: 41 1/2"

At 4 1/2 years old you:

• go to bed around 8:30p and get up around 8am
• come downstairs on your own each morning to sit and watch cartoons until mommy and daddy get up
• take a nap each day from around 4-6
• are a great eater and know that you only get treats if you finish your veggies
• LOVE being in school (half day preK)
• can count to 50, and count to 100 by tens
• know the sounds each letter makes
• can write your name and every letter/number and several shapes
• are DONE with pullups (but we try to get you up to pee once more late at night)
• know your days of the week
• still fit size 3T and 4T clothes
• wear a size 9 shoe
• got a bike with training wheels for Christmas and were a pro the same day!
• have good manners and are *usually* polite

 

Since he started school this year I have started an album for his "School Years" to keep track of how he changes and grows. I will put each year's school picture in it with a paper that he answers questions about his favorite things at that time (book, cartoon, food, etc.).
