4 Years Old

Ben is 4 years old!!!  I can't believe he is getting so old.  Ben weighs 33 pounds and is almost 40" tall.  He is in the 25th percentile for both.  Ben is having a great year at school!  He has learned so much this year.  He knows all of his letters and their sounds.  He can write his name and many other letters as well.  He is very social and friends with everyone.  He is also taking gymnastics, swim lessons and doing Hot Shot soccer right now.  He loves being active and keeping busy.

Ben has such a wild imagination and is so funny.  He is always making stories up and is pretty convincing.  He also exaggerates quite a bit.  He told my mom that he got two shots in one leg and 23 shots in the other LOL!  You just never know what is going to come out of his mouth and if it is the truth.  I'm not sure at what point I need to really get on to him about this, but so far the stuff he makes up isn't hurting anyone and is quite funny.  Some of my favorite words of his are handitzer (hand sanitizer), misdapperared (disappeared), McOdonald's (McDonald's), and he says my cone number instead of my phone number.

This last year was a very challenging year as Ben really wanted to push the limits and test us.  I'm really hoping that this year will be a turning point and we will get to see more of his sweet and funny personality.        

We LOVE this sweet and funny boy!!!!
