Taeg's Special Pre-school Day

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

I have to say that I love Taegen's hair long BUT he was constantly moving it out of his eyes. I've asked him tons of times if he wants it cut and he always says adamantly "NO" but not today, so I jumped at the chance...and welcome Summer hair.
Before...
After...

I must say that I think he is pretty stinking cute either way.

Taeg's Special Pre-school Day

Taegen birthday was over Spring break so he got to celebrate his birthday at pre-school when he got back. We made ice cream cone cupcakes and had hugg's for drinks. Everybody sang to him and he even got to blow out a candle. He loved it. Strider and I stayed for playtime after they sang to him. Taegen is a great big brother.
I am going to brag about Taegen for a bit. He is amazing. He is such a great kid. He seriously LOVES his brothers. He watches out for Kyler and Strider ALL the time. He genuinely cares about them. I think he gets that something is different about Kyler but he doesn't know what and he doesn't care. He loves him.

• He loves the Wii and is surprisingly good at it.
  
• He doesn't take naps anymore and hasn't for a few months.
  
• His bests friends are Connor and Bronson from pre-school.
  
• He is very observant. I got new glasses a few months ago. Nobody noticed except Taegen. Everytime I wore them for the first month he would say "mom, I like your new glasses." or "you look beautiful in your new glasses mom".
  
• He is extremely sweet. He says "I love you" all the time. He tells his family and his friends. Sometimes his "older" friends think it's gross but he doesn't care, he still tells them he loves them. He is one of the younger kids on the street but all the kids come over to play with him. They are so great with him.
  
• He can ride a big bike but still needs training wheels.
  
• He loves basketball.
  
• He is playing soccer right now and loves it.
  
• He loves playing games. Memory, wii or hide and seek are his favorites right now.
• He loves to pretend to be a puppy. He will bring me a ball (in his mouth) and I will play fetch with him. He begs, sits, lays, rolls over and speaks. Kyler and Strider also love this new game.
  
• He sleeps on the top bunk in their bedroom. He only gets to play the wii if he stays in his bed all night and it totally works. He stays in his bed pretty much every night.
• He LOVES his daddy.
• He always tells me I look beautiful.
  
• He dresses himself.
  
• He hates eating off of plastic plates. He wants a glass plate and glass cup.
  
• He LOVES to say the prayer and says it almost every meal. He says great prayers.
  
• He loves pre-school. Whenever I pick him up from school he looks at me and smiles and says "i have a surprise for you." Then when we get home he opens his backpack to show me his surprise.
  
• He loves to have painted toenails.
  
• He loves to climb trees and throw sticks and rocks.
  
• He always wants to ride his bike in the road because that's what the big kids do.
• He always wants me or Ryan to sit by him if he's watching a movie.
• He loves coloring and drawing and cutting.

He is a keeper and we totally love him to death. I really think that his age right now has been my favorite age so far. He just says and does the cutest things and yet he is old enough to listen and obey. I am loving him.
