All About Hayes.....
Since Hayes turned 4 years old on April 21, I thought I would give a little update on that sweet boy.
Weight: 32 lbs
Height: 38 1/2 inches
Hayes is such a caring child and thinks so much about others, even before himself. He wants to do everything Eason does (which drives Eason nuts). He is very sensitive and speaking sternly to him is just about all you have to do to discipline him. He can't stand for anyone to be mad at him, and to be honest, being upset with him usually just lasts until he says, "You're mad at me" with his head hung low...melts this mama's heart. Thankfully, he is a pretty obedient child so he doesn't get into trouble much. From what I have read, his characteristics seem to be pretty typical for a middle child.
I have really loved having him home with me and Kate Ross everyday since Christmas. However, I look forward to seeing him go to preschool in the fall so he can have fun and make friends. Here are some other things about our Hayesie....
~He is really quiet and a bit shy until you get to know him. Then, he is such a clown and will make you laugh so hard with his silly dances and imitations of people. This child is seriously funny!
~He is super easygoing and goes with the flow.
~He loves to ride his bike!! Rode without training wheels back in the fall, but we took them off for good in January. He is now riding Eason's "big" bike and doing little tricks on his bike..pretty impressive, but I am biased.
~He loves pretty much all music--church songs (Contemp. Christian) are his favorite right now..he and Eason call it "cool music" and I love that!
~He still gets in our bed in the middle of everynight...we leave a pillow in between us each night and never even hear him climb up...can't say this bothers us. We realize that he will eventually stay in his bed all night, so for right now, we enjoy that little cuddle-bug!
~He is playing T-ball after a rough first game start, has LOVED it! He has gotten several grounders and he really likes to bat and run the bases. It's so fun to watch him in action!
~Some of his favorites: books, puzzles, Clifford, Bernstein Bears, MUD, motorcycles, monster trucks, bikes, race cars, snuggling while we read or watch TV, his Bear-Bear, coping whatever his big brother is doing, harassing his big brother ;), and making his baby sister laugh!
We praise God for blessing us so richly with this special little boy!
