Bennett's 4 Year Stats

Bennett and Eden got to have joint 4 yr/15 month appointments.  We are happy to report healthy growing kids.  Here are some of Bennett's 4 year stats!!

36 lbs 2 oz (51st percentile)

3ft 5 inches (69th percentile)

We sent out this photo for Bennett's 4th birthday card...a perfect representation of him...if you know him - even just a little.  :)  This photo was taken when we did Eden's 1 year pics at a local garden center.  Its a gem because it captures Bennett perfectly!  He is his own individual - without a doubt.

At four years old, Bennett is so amazing.  We have struggled and worked hard with Bennett this year.  We've also had so much fun with him and love being his parents whether its an easy or a hard day.  Strong-willed, spirited, sensitive, sweet...Bennett is all those things rolled into one precious creation.  We are privileged to be his parents and learn so much from him, as he hopefully learns from us, too!  He loves Buzz Lightyear, riding his Skuut like a pro, reading books, playing with Logan, helping out Eden, coloring/writing/drawing, and watching movies.  :)

The biggest change in Bennett from one year ago to now is his ability to express himself.  His speech is awesome and he does a great job using expressions to get his feelings across to us.  We've worked hard with him on being able to identify his feelings and tell us about them so that we can help him before he is discouraged.  I still can't believe he is four.  It seems like he was the baby for so long...  For these few months the boys are only one year apart (5 years and 4 years) and they seem closer than ever!  I love to watch the kids grow and their relationships deepen.

Happy four years, Benny!  You are amazing.
