Life at Four




It's hard to believe that the kids are 4 1/2!!! They have had a wonderful year in the puppies class at Kids Kare. It's a little sad to think that they will be off to public school next year. Instead of being a third of the class, they will be 3 of 20 something! :(

The kids are very excited about summer and can't wait to go swimming & go on vacation. They've been enjoying playing outside when the weather is warm. It's a race everyday when we get home to see who can get the mail. Delaney & Jax love to play Dora Memory and are both very good at it. Baylor likes to play on occasion, but he really doesn't have the attention span for it. The one cartoon that everyone can agree on for the moment is "Little Bill".


Jax is still has a way with words. He's always the first to say how much he loves you, misses you, or tell you how beautiful you look. He still enjoys watching television and likes playing with Baylor & Delaney. He enjoys being a helper and likes to help put groceries away. He's still not really into toys but he does enjoy his leapster. He loves earning tokens on his cars game. He just learned to jump rope which he thinks is pretty cool. He can write his name. His prayer is consistent each night: "Dear God, thank you for my mom & dad, nana & mimi, Patrick & Julie, granny & papa, & Ms. Monica. Helps us to be good for our mom & dad & teachers. Helps us to stay on green. Help (whoever is sick) get feel better. And help my muscles get STRONG. Jesus name. Amen. Each night he talks with his dad about going on vacation and about all of the sea creatures they will see.

Favorite food: bread, yogurt, Cheese Pizza

Favorite place to eat: McDonalds & Chineese Food

Favorite Cartoon: Sponge Bob, Scooby Doo

Favorite Book: Apples on Top by Dr. Suess


Delaney is still a drama queen. She also loves to feel important and will help with almost anything. She is by far the best in picking up toys. She LOVES school and loves to write. She can write almost any letter in all caps. However, she insist that she write her name in capital letters. She thinks everyone else in the world is wrong. Speaking of head strong, it's a battle every Sunday with what she is going to wear. She would prefer to wear her jean skirt every Sunday. She has decided she really doesn't like dresses and wants to wear skirts. She still loves High School Musical and she was telling me the other day that she wanted her hair fixed like one of the characters. We haven't had to watch it every day, but she loves listening to her FP3 player. She's been watching American Idol with me. She still asks one million questions about everything. It was fun trying to explain voting, and going home with regards to American Idol.

Favorite Food: CHEESE, yogurt, apple sauce, taco chips

Favorite place to eat: Taco Bueno

Favorite Cartoon: Little Bill

Favorite Toy: FP3 player, Jax as her "baby" (no need for dolls)


Baylor's personality hasn't changed a bit since he was a baby. Life is either all good or a major fit is a brewing! He likes to be funny when he can get an audience. He loves trains and cars and could play by himself for hours. He's the one who really wants the McDonalds toy ,and to be fair he's the only one who can be entertained by something as small as the McD toy. He still refuses to go to Bible Hour on Sundays, and prefers to stay in church with us. This is one reason we are pushing him to play t-ball as he doesn't always want to be a participator. He can write his name but refuses to do so by himself. He will do it if I put my hand on his. For some reason he lacks confidence in his abilities, but I see progress every day. He recently opened the car door. He was so proud of that accomplishment. He told me, "I just kept trying, and trying, and I did it!" His prayer changes each evening but one thing consistent..."please keep Delaney from picking Kids Songs and help me keep picking Thomas." (They take turns picking movies in the car and no one really enjoys Thomas except Baylor, and Delaney is the only one who enjoys kids songs!)

Favorite Food: spaghetti & meat

Favorite place to eat: McDonalds (for the toy) & Chinese Food. He also likes to eat where there is steak.

Favorite Cartoon: Scooby Doo, Little Bill

Favorite Book: Green Eggs & Ham

Favorite Toys: trains, cars, leapster
