Colin is 4!!!

2008-09 (33)

Colin turned 4 on Sunday and we had a party here to celebrate. He wanted a race car theme. We invited 7 of his friends, but only 4 could come (all boys). We had a few checkered flags, cones and an obstacle course. I had made all the kids fake licenses and they each got to race the course. Then we ordered pizza, ate cake and opened presents – pretty typical birthday party but Colin had a great time.

Colin and Holden also had their check ups on Tuesday. Both healthy, Colin weighed 32 lbs (10th percentile) and is 39 inches (25th). Holden is 25 lbs (40th) and 32 inches (40th). Both of them had to get shots and Colin was not happy about it – but at least he doesn’t have to get anymore until he is 11. His legs were really sore afterward, in fact the next morning he didn’t even want to walk. He got better with some tylenol and was running around the park a couple hours later.

Colin started school yesterday. He now goes in the afternoons from 12:30 to 3:30. I work at the school on Wed so I worked yesterday. It was great to see the kids again and they have really changed. They listen now, they share so much better and it was a pleasure to be there. In fact, I wasn’t needed nearly as much as last year. Colin got right back in the grove and had a great time.

Tidbits:

  • The other day when I said I have to cut Holden’s hair Colin said “Well don’t cut mine, I feel beautiful”
  • Colin calls “instructions” – “constructions” as in “Mom, I put the mac n cheese that way so you could read the constructions”
  • Colin also calls fruit flies (which are all over the house) “gook flies”
  • Some of Holden’s words: yayas = legs, gock = socks, gick = garbage, ba = truck, bus or airplane (followed by his hand flying through the air)

      Holden also says booboo (which means booboo), and AH!AH!AH! which means “watch this”.
