3'3" and 38lb.
Man, all my kids are growing up! Too fast! My baby boy is already almost 4! He's got one more school year and he's going to start Kindergarten. What??? It seems like I just brought him home from the hospital. Where did the time go? My sweet Jo Jo is so independent. He wants to dress himself, brush his own teeth, go to the bathroom with no help and he puts on his own strap fastened shoes. He always tries to tie his other sneaks too.
Joel is wanting to grow "bigger". He will say after a meal that he grew and then stand there with his hand raised over his head "measuring" how much taller he's gotten. He wants you to see how much he's grown. I always act like he has. When we are out somewhere, he constantly sizes up any other child he sees and says he's bigger than them even if they are 5 or 6 years old. He says "I'm bigger than that kid" (or "boy" or "grill-for girl"). I'm embarrassed to say this, because he probably watches too much TV, but he always see's something on a commercial that he wants for his "birthday". He talks all the time about "Bakogons" a toy, which is clearly for boys who are over 6 years old. EVERYWHERE we go, he will look at other kids, even babies under one and say " That kid isn't old enough for Bakugons" because I told him he was not old enough yet to play with those toys.
Joel is very strong willed. Joe says he's just like me in personality, but he looks like him. It's pretty much true. We are having a challenge right now....I mean since he turned about 18 months old, he's been throwing fits and screaming. Now he is a terrible whiner too. I think it must be the age, but I am doing everything I know to redirect that behavior. I personally can't stand whining. It really gets me. If anyone knows what works to stop the fits/causing a scene ie: (stomping/jumping up and down, crying and screaming which escalates at home into rolling on the ground and screaming/crying louder). I read recently that usually by age 4 kids stop doing this, but he will be 4 the last day of June. Anyone have success with this......anyone? Advise is welcome.
