A year in review

Physical - Nicholas is still on the move quite a bit. I have been told this is normal. We shall see if he slows up any as he grows :) He is very active. In the Spring, I will sign him up for soccer. He is looking forward to that.

Mental - I am very glad the 3's are over. However, the 4's are not looking very promising :) I have a VERY smart kid. I am so proud of him! He is doing very well in preschool with the academics and behavior is coming along. Nicholas likes to be very independent, which is very trying at times. Nicholas does not like to listen or follow directions. We are hoping these issues will be solved once the 4's have really settled into his body :)

Nicholas had a lot of changes this year. He was made into a big brother - with a rough start. I know that affected him. Baby brother didn't come home right away and Mommy was disappearing every day for two weeks. Daddy was in the hospital for 20 days. That kid had a rough June. At the same time, he was working his way into being potty trained and am I glad about that! I love when he tells me he has to pee or poop!! He also stands to pee now, which I think is amazing!! So, we still have firsts in Niko's life.

What's coming up...... Niko has another round of blood work in Feb. His numbers are still elevated. We do not know if this means he may be diabetic. We need good thoughts and the number comes back normal!! Mommy's instincts are telling me that we will have challenges to face. The doctor told me that the second round of numbers were supposed to come back normal, and well..... they didn't. I am hoping Nicholas will learn how to ride a bike with training wheels this summer, but he may be too small for that. We will continue to learn our ABC's, Shapes, Colors. and numbers!!!
