Better late than never!
Remy turned 4 years old on October 2nd. I can’t believe my first baby is already 4
years old! Remy had a ninja turtle
themed birthday party. He’s currently
obsessed with ninja turtles, super heroes and Legos. We had a little party at the house and then
on his actual birthday we took him to Chucky Cheese and the zoo. He absolutely loved being the center of
everyone’s attention.
Remy is currently wearing mostly 5T shirts, 4-5T pants and
size 10 shoes. He is obsessed with
wearing shorts and hates pants. Now that
it’s fall he either whines or throws a tantrum when I tell him he has to wear
pants. I even had to hide all of his
shorts from him. Otherwise I’d turn my
back for a second and he’d be back in shorts or have his pants rolled up. Little stinker.
Remy and Ivan have been bonding a lot more lately. Now that Ivan is getting older, Remy thinks
he’s more fun. They usually play pretty
good together. Remy bosses Ivan around
and Ivan usually listens. Ivan copies
everything Remy does. If Remy is in a
bad mood he will certainly bug his brother and that ends in a fight.
Remy and Ivan both started a new daycare earlier this
summer. They are now in a daycare
facility and they both have teachers and get to learn and make more
friends. This change has been good for
Remy. I think he was getting bored
before. Now there is more structure and
more kids to play with. Next year he
will start pre-k! I’m kind of glad he
missed the cutoff. I’m not ready for him
to start school yet.
Remy started karate.
He is a very active boy so we thought karate would be a good
choice. He was really excited about it
and then when we got there he got super nervous & timid. I figured that would happen. After being shy for the first 10 mins or so
he finally got out there and had fun. We’ve
gone a few times now and he’s loving it.
Though he thinks he gets to earn a trophy already.
Remy’s current favorite foods: mac-n-cheese (Annies brand),
pizza, most fruits, broccoli, tacos, waffles or pancakes, yogurt, ice cream,
graham crackers. His favorite color is
orange. He loves all things ninja
turtles, super heros and legos. He tends
to take naps at daycare but it’s 50/50 that he’ll take a nap at home. He loves to go “shopping” and always requests
to go to Walmart or Target.
Remy is still daddy obsessed. Everything Phil does, he wants to do. He prefers daddy to take him to bed, daddy to
do this, daddy to do that. Every time
something breaks he says, “it’s ok, daddy can fix it”. I’m glad they have such a good bond. Remy also loves his grandma Rita. He gets super excited when he knows grandma
is coming over.
Remy can sometimes be quite a handful. That probably goes for all 4 year olds… He’s quick to react meaning he can quickly
turn from a good little boy to a brat in 2 seconds flat. He’s usually pretty good but he’s always
testing his boundaries and seeing what he can and cannot get away with. He’s usually very shy when around new people
or in new situations but generally doesn’t take too long to warm up. He is definitely a follower. He will go along with whatever the other boys
are doing.
Every night when Remy goes to bed he likes to read a few
books and then “talk about his day”.
This usually consists of him saying, “I had a good day, momma. Did you have a good day?” Then he’ll tell me everything he did that
day. Usually that consist of “I ate
breakfast, played, I taked a nap, I played with Wyatt (his BFF at daycare), ate
a snack, played with Ivan”. Then after
we talk about our day he requests to sing A LOT of songs. Bedtime takes a while…
