Forever my baby boy, quiet and thoughtful Carter, you're 4 now!
You still love a quiet place to play alone when you can get it, you'll read quietly alone or play with your cars or lego and don't like to be interrupted. You can't get enough of watching the Raiders play, if you hear a game of footy on TV you will run out screaming go raiders, you love Papa (Papali'i) and Crocker and will yell at the TV just like daddy when there's a knock on or try scored.
You love to tackle and be like Papa, always asking to play football and getting cross when I laugh at you for calling "held, tackle one" or "knock on, hand over" each time you do. There's no doubt that you'll love being enrolled in footy next year, but for now you are happy to kick the ball around in the yard and to play soccer with Mason, though you aren't as enthusiastic about non contact sports.
Although it took you 2 or 3 months longer to decide to attempt toilet training, you actually learnt much more quickly than Mason, less accidents and dry over night by your 4th birthday! You are not so keen on riding your bike without trainers - preferring to scoot rather than ride.
You still jump out of bed each morning demanding breakfast like you haven't eaten for weeks and every morning you devour it!
Just like Mase, you've come in leaps and bounds since starting daycare 4 days a week. You count, sing songs, name colours and letters all in preparation for pre-school next year! We are so proud of you. You still mumble your words a little, but you are 4 after all and most of that comes down to you being spoken over a lot of the time. You definitely speak more with actions than you do with words!
You've taken to Yass life very well, you love the space outside and the area to play with "your Rudiger" you like the freedom to walk and explore and to find a small corner of the house to sit in solitude.
You are such a special and beautiful soul, so much like Cooper but also very much unique. I am besotted by you, I love you and I wish you the best 4th birthday ever!
4 years old:
- you are 107.5cm tall
- you weigh 18 kilo
- you have all your teeth, and yes some are chipped
- you love: the Raiders, big cuddles, sleeping, avengers shows, playing with Zoe, reading, playing on the oval kicking balls, tackling, football and riding your scooter
- your favourite meal is spag bol. but if you are hungry you'll eat anything... and you are always hungry.
- you hate: when Mase wants to join in on your games with Zoe, when Cooper doesn't pass you the football, waking up, saying sorry and people trying to talk for you.
- your best friend is Mason, you love him and you hate him all at once!
