Grady is F-O-U-R!

 
Our Grady is four!! 
 
What a big year.  It is crazy to think about that a year ago Grady was still sleeping in a crib and was still working on potty training.  He now has bunk beds in his room and he thankfully mastered potty training fully in September.
 
Grady is a funny little guy.  He makes us laugh constantly.  While he is still in speech therapy, Grady is a chatterbox.  He loves to ask questions about the world around him and tell us all about his good and bad dreams.  Grady still enjoys potty jokes, loves toys and is always on the move.   His favorite day is a day in his pajamas with a long day of toy playing with Layla stretched in front of him.  He also loves to "kip" his nap but he could nap every day.  He typically naps about 4-5 days a week now. 
 
This year we have experienced our first bout of separation anxiety with Grady.  He did not like being separated from me for preschool, story time or tee ball.  I could not have asked for better preschool teachers to help me with Grady's worries.  They were patient and kind.  Even up until the last day of preschool when I had to hand Grady off to their arms when he was feeling unsure about going to chapel, the teachers were positive and understanding.
 
      Grady is a very sweet little boy.  He loves his family and friends.  He loves to give hugs and kisses and tell you, "I love you so much."  One of my favorite things to do is watch Grady play and watch him enjoy being a little kid.  I am excited to watch him grow but at the same time I wish he could stay little forever.    We have another big year ahead! 
Our hope is that it is full of happiness and health.
