4 Years Old

Cason, I can't believe you are already 4 years old! It seems like just yesterday you looked just like this....









*Your stats from your 4 year check up yesterday:
---Weight 46.8 pounds (97%) (You gained exactly 5 pounds this year)
---Height 43 inches (94%) (You grew over 3 inches)
The doctor said you looked great and that you were a very big boy! They checked your hearing and your vision and both were fine. You had to get 4 shots but thankfully they combined them into 2. The nurse gave you a pinwheel to blow on while she gave you your shots and that seemed to do do the trick because you didn't even cry. I'm so proud of you!!! You got to keep the pinwheel and get a sucker and sticker so you were a happy camper :)

*You can wear a boys 4 or 5, a 5T at some places, and a youth XS in clothing.
*You wear an 11 or 11.5 wide in shoes.
*You sleep in a big boy bed 11-12 hours a night and take one nap a day.
*You are starting to be a lot less picky about food. You try new things a lot more willingly which is great. Your favorite foods right now are cheeseburgers, PB & J sandwiches, applesauce, yogurt, pizza, cheese and Ranch sandwiches, salmon, smoothies, and baked chicken. You like almost any type of fruit but vegetables are still not your favorite. I have to sneak veggies into your diet.
*You get dressed independently and you do like to make sure your clothes match---LOL
*You mostly drink milk and water but when we make a Sonic visit you LOVE lemonade.
*You know your alphabet and all the sounds of the letters. You can sound out some words with help.
*You can count to 20 independently and higher with some help.
*You know all your colors and simple shapes.
*You love to sing songs and learn new things.
*Coloring & practicing writing are not your favorite activities. I think they require you to sit still for too long---ha!
*You went on your first ski trip this year and you did great. You also had your first soccer season and your first t-ball season.
*You are VERY inquisitive. You ask WHY about a million times a day :)
*You are still in love with anything dinosaur. You can name most any dinosaur---I have learned a lot about dinosaurs in the last couple of years!
*You love your little brother and want to play with him all the time. Sharing toys is hard, but we are working on it.
*You are very active and LOVE to be outside. You enjoy riding your bike around the neighborhood and you are excited to have swim lessons next month.
*You are very strong willed and spunky.
*You love to be around other children.
*You are such a sweet little boy. You tell me that I am beautiful and I look like a princess at least 3 times a day (it just melts my heart). I love you sweet boy!
