More on her 4th birthday in a minute... first we need the stats! Natalie had her 4 year appointment and is 40" tall (60th percentile) and weighs 38 pounds (75th percentile). I don't know where the weight comes from (probably milk!) because she eats like a bird. She tells us she eats well at school and at Maureen's but we aren't really sure she's telling the truth.
Natalie had a fantastic year at FACE Children's Center. In her final "progress report," her teachers said, "Natalie is a kindhearted little girl. She quietly joined our Teddy Bear class last year and has emerged into an outgoing and playful friend. She has made friends not only in our class, but with children in the other classes as well, very popular!"
"Natalie is always respectful in group or circle time. She will listen quietly while a story is read and waits patiently when directions are being given. She can proudly recite her colors, shapes, and counting. She is also a very good singer!" (This is mommy's favorite part, ha ha ha!)
"Natalie runs around the playground or the back field with quick agility. She just always looks happy. Her smile has brightened our days. It has been a pleasure working with Natalie and it will be fun to watch her grow in the next year!"
Natalie is still a great sleeper and can still nap for 3 or more hours in an afternoon. She goes to bed every night around 8 pm and gets up around 6 am. It's difficult to wake her sometimes (kinda like her mama!), but generally if you just open her door while you're getting Grant ready, she will come around. She loves going to gymnastics and is really looking forward to starting CrossFit Kids at some point. She is still an incredibly smart little girl with an amazing vocabulary. I did a little interview with her the other day and this is how it went:
What is your favorite color: Green
What is your favorite food: Macaroni and Cheese
Where is your favorite vacation place? Florida at Nana and Pop Pop's
Who is your best friend: Gaby and Sarah (although this changes daily but these two are definitely besties)
We just found out that Natalie is actually going to skip over the Chipmunks class at FACE and will be a Butterfly next year with her friends Gaby and Addison, along with about 6-7 other kids from her Teddy Bears class. She was excited because the Butterfly's are the "Big kids." We are so proud of her!
