Timmy 4 Years, 5 Months

Timmy is a big boy.


I told you so. Of course, someone needs to explain to me how he has gotten so big, so fast!  After meeting our nephew on Wednesday (more on him soon!), I really can't understand how this has happened in just under 4.5 years.  Timmy's class picture and Fall Progress Report came home last week too.  The pictures were taken in the middle of October.

His report reads:

Child's adjustment to school:
Timmy arrives each day with a smile and ready to start the day.  He knows the routine and finds an interesting center and gets involved.

Child's Social Interaction:
Timmy gets along well with his peers and they enjoy interacting with him.  He is comfortable coming to his teachers with any questions and concerns.

Child's participation in activities:
Timmy enjoys many centers including: housekeeping, art, blocks, making trains from Legos, working with magnets, play-doh, and the water and sand tables.

Pam and I are happy to have Timmy in our Turtle Class.

I am one proud Mom.  One of Timmy's favorite things to do at school now is to "make envelopes" which they did a few months ago to hold letters for us.  So now Timmy likes to fold his drawings and write Mom on them, which makes them into envelopes.  This is my favorite one so far:

A few things Timmy has said over the past couple weeks have made me smile and I want to be sure to remember them, so here they are.  One evening while playing, I don't remember what, Timmy stopped short and said, "Am I an impressive guy? I can ___________."  I was so caught on the question that I didn't process the act he thought was impressive!

A few evenings later, while Timmy was playing the new Angry Birds Star Wars on Daddy's phone, he came across a new power one of the birds has and said, "Ohhh, fascinatin."  Too much.  He is certainly expanding his vocabulary at school this year.

He is also learning about syllable's, as I discovered as I was falling asleep last night.  Timmy suddenly started saying classmates names, and clapping and counting out the syllable's.  He was really good at it and proud of it too, it was too cute.

I'm realizing that this post is as much about school as a monthly update, but I guess he's getting to the age where that will be the case more often then not!  SO BIG!
