Getting the kids ready to go up to the mountains to cut down our Christmas tree...

Rob: Do you think we should bring Lucca to cut down the tree?
Imogene: NOOO! She doesn't have any hands.

Cedar at 4

Cedar at 4: 

• Still loves anything that moves... cars, planes, trains, helicopters.

• Has very specific ideas about how Imogene should play with him. Imogene rarely follows his rules, which leads to much frustration.

• He loves preschool and having Nana as his teacher. We can already see his confidence growing. His favorite part is playing outside.

• All of a sudden Cedar has become interested in coloring and drawing. It has been fun to see what his little imagination come up with. We have entire notebooks full of drawings of sharks eating various sea creatures.

• Really enjoys playing with his friends and is so excited to see them when he can.

• Loves to run. When we go to the park he often just wants to run, which leaves Imogene screaming because she does NOT want to run.

• Is slowly developing an interest in letters and numbers. I am not pushing this as he loves to learn about so many other things, he will get to reading eventually.

• Whereas Imogene's first phase was "I do it!", Cedar is perfectly happy asking for help for just about anything.

• He is a sweet cuddly kid whose creativity and imagination are so fun to watch.
