At his 4 year well check Karson weighed in at 33 lbs (24th percentile) and was 39.5 inches (32nd percentile). The Dr. said he'd probably end up around 5'8 or 5'9. I'm not sure how she knows that, but we'll see! Karson is a pretty good eater, but has picked up some of Kaleb's pickiness. If Kaleb says he doesn't like it then Karson automatically says he doesn't like it. But, when we get him to try it he finds out that he does like it most of the time. Lately he wants me to make toad in holes (?) every day...egg in the middle of toast. It's his favorite along with PB&J every day for lunch at home.
Karson has been going to preschool all day on the days I work. He has tons of friends and just as many stories to share every day about what he did and what his friends did:) He knows all of his colors, shapes, letters, most of the letter sounds, can write his name, cut with scissors, and count to 39 (he gets the 1-2-3, but doesn't know 40, 50, 60). He is a TV junky and asks to watch it all the time! His favorites are Mickey Mouse, Jake and the Never Land Pirates, and Doc McStuffins. He really likes to dress-up in his superhero costumes and "fight" with Daddy and Kaleb with their light sabers. That's always the highlight of his day!
Karson has started to get more chores around the house like feeding the dogs, emptying the dishwasher (non-breakables only), cleaning his room and the playroom, and helping me wash and put away his clothes. He's a pretty good helper when he's not too busy playing with big brother:) He and Kaleb get along REALLY well now and can play together for hours. I love listening to their imaginations at work! He and Kaleb also love sleeping in the bunk beds together on weekends. It's a special treat for them.
Karson loves to go to school to have lunch with Kassidy and Kaleb and even helps me in Kaleb's room. We do whatever the teacher needs help with and he's always such a good, quiet boy:) When everyone leaves home in the morning on days I don't work he always says to me, "Just you and me today, Mom!" I love the extra time to spend with just him. It's truly precious to me and I'll miss it when he goes to big school. Luckily I still have awhile before that happens!
Karson is my sweet little guy who's not so little anymore. He is so grown-up in many ways, especially compared to Kassidy and Kaleb at that age. I guess that's what happens when you're the youngest. He loves to hug and give kisses and say I love you...even to the dogs:) And he's quite funny, too! Not all of his jokes make sense but the way he says it and with his silly looking face it makes you laugh! He is such a delight to have and we are so thankful to have him.
Thank you to everyone who helped make our birthdays so special!!! We are very blessed to have such loving friends and family!!!
