Weighed 37.2lbs
Height 41.5"
4 shots- which he took like a champ without a single tear!!! Wow!
Ethan celebrated his birthday this year with family and preschool friends at Pump it up in Arlington, TX. We had a morning PJ masks pajama party with donuts, milk, juice, and coffee for the adults. The kids had a blast jumping and playing together.
A few favorites I asked Ethan to share:
Animal- puppy
Stuffed animal- big bear
Color- pink and yellow
Food- cookies
Fruit- applesauce (with cinnamon)
Drink- sprite
Toy- paw patrol toys especially his new jungle rescue Tracker toy
Book- not sure
Friend- Jorge
Candy- ring pop
Sport- soccer
TV show- Shimmer and Shine
Ethan has grown and become so much more independent in the past year. He puts on shoes, socks and clothes alone. Recently he learned to do buttons on his shirt. He can open wrappers (but still occasionally needs help). He is completely potty independent and doesn't need help wiping when he poops anymore. Woohoo! He is able to write his name pretty well and is starting to take some interest in learning to write other letters and numbers. He can count to 100 with a little help past 40 when it comes to the "tens" place. He recognizes numbers and upper and lower case letters, but we have not begun reading words just yet. I have started testing him on sounds and am pretty pleased to see him already identifying many sounds with their matching letter, but some he still misses (mostly few of the vowel sounds.) I guess it's time to start playing some site word games and bringing out the beginning BOB books.
Ethan is funny and caring, but also dramatic and a screamer when things don't go as he hopes/plans. He feels deeply love and hate. He is a peacemaker and quickly gives into his brothers wants to keep him from being sad. When Ethan gets sad and cries he looks first to his baby brother Logan for a hug (and Logan always obliges (at age 1) and says "awww" or "oohhh"). Ethan is brave and outgoing and will talk to anyone. He is quick to make new friends especially if they are girls. On that note, he has a serious magnet to girls especially ones older than him and of the "blonde hair" variety. 😂😂 Ethan is stubborn (oh genetics...) which will one day serve him well in standing for truth, but can be challenging when parenting and teaching obedience. Mike and I are often exhausted by the end of the day as all 3 boys together can be quite the challenge at times.
We love Ethan so much and are proud of the big boy he is becoming. We pray that God continues to draw him close to Himself and gives him a desire to follow after Him. We pray God will mold Ethan's heart and mind toward the gospel and to love God first and love others second.
Here are a few of the many faces of Ethan age 4- Sept & Oct 2016
