Clayton's Actual Birthday!

We have a tradition of a birthday serenade and doughnuts with a candle in it for breakfast on their actual birthday.  So we started off Clayton's actual birthday just like that!  Later that day we met GiGi for lunch at Culvers where he had ice cream with blue sprinkles.  He also had a special birthday song sung by his Kindermusik classmates and Mrs. Julie his teacher.  We even extended the celebrations after church on Sunday where he got a song and sombrero at Hacienda, his favorite restaurant :)  I think all in all it was a great weekend of celebrating our amazing little 4 year old!

4 Year Updates...
At his check up he weighed in at 31.5 lbs...that's right people, we finally made it to 30!!!!  He is in the whopping 12th percentile!  His height is 38.75 inches, which is the 18th percentile.  Even though he is little, he is going up on his own chart, so Dr. Cochran was pleased with his progress.  He was such a big boy at his Dr appointment and didn't make a fuss about anything.  He talked Dr. Cochran's ear off ;)

Wow, where to start on what all he can do now...

Write his name independently
Knows all letters and corresponding sounds
Can count to 20
He is like a sponge, and never forgets ANYTHING
He knows no strangers
He loves to tell stories and dress up in characters
HUGE and I mean HUGE Batman fan, he practically lives in his Batman costume, and when he is in the costume he is in character...he can no longer be called Clayton!!!  He is very serious about this!
He is a worry wart...unfortunately he got this characteristic from me :/
He can do patterns
An excellent big brother, always worried about him and taking care of him...don't get me wrong they definitely fight as well, but overall they are really best buddies :)  I adore watching them together and the bond  that they share!
He likes a schedule and needs to know things ahead of time

I know there is so so so much more but those are some highlights!!!
