Fun With LIAM!

I can't believe my rainbow baby is  4 1/2 years old! It's unbelievable how much he's grown just this year!

Liam is doing awesome in preschool. He loves his teacher, Mrs. Williams, and he's made lots of new, sweet friends. He enjoys music, chapel, math, and playing in centers ( He told me himself!)  He loves to play on the playground and climb. He also LOVES cars, trucks, vans and collecting his match box cars. (He has 350 right now he counted them by himself!) He likes to look at them in magazines and on the computer. A common question you'll hear come out of his mouth out of no where
 "Mommy can I look at vans on the computer please?"

He still LOVES anything and everything to do with math. He now can add and subtract double and triple digits and starting to learn multiplication & division. He also loves to tell time has his own clock he uses.

Like his Daddy he loves the computer and playing computer games. His all time favorite website to visit is  starfall.com. It's an educational website for kindergarteners. He loves playing the games and doing all the fun activities on that website. He likes it so much I've had to monitor his use. He must get 20 stars on his reward chart to play 30 minutes of starfall. It's been a great way to keep  him on his best behavior. He really likes his reward chart and counts up his stars every day .
Just recently he's become obsessed with the calendar. He loves looking at the dates and days of the week. I recently purchased a big bulletin board size calendar for him to use. I hung it up on the wall in the playroom.  Every day we put the date, day of week, weather, and season on his calendar it's a big hit.

He just recently has been learning to ride a tricycle. From the time he was a toddler he was never into ride on toys.  He would push them around but never took interest in riding. We never pushed him to ride but recently we decided he should start knowing how to ride his tricycle.  He's doing well still needs some practice. I think he's just lazy and would rather run LOL!

He started to take to drawing. He has always colored but never did a lot of free hand drawing. Thanks to watching one of his favorite shows, Blue's Clues, he's learned how to draw a house, trees, flowers, cars, books, etc.

To my liking Liam loves music especially dance music. I've played him some of my music and he's really liked it and loves to dance. He loves watching Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson,  The Black Eyed Peas, Will I AM etc.

Liam enjoys going to church and Sunday School class. He prays every night before bed and before dinner. He has also memorized some bible verses and songs that he loves to recite and sing.
He loves to read  and can sound out words on his one with very little help. He loves using LeapFrog Tag Reader. He has several books but his favorite right now is about the human body. I am just amazed of his memory. He can recall so much information and it just sticks to his little brain. So proud of him. :)

Liam started taking Spanish classes from my friend who teaches classes on the side. He goes every Tuesday for an hour. He loves it! It took a little bit to understand but now after a month he is really catching on . He knows so much more than I do and has really great  spanish accent and pronounces the words perfectly. So proud of him.

Liam does need to learn to pay attention and follow directions better at school and at home. He thinks he runs the show some times. He can be a spitfire and full of energy bouncing off the walls if he's bored which doesn't take much for him to get bored so I'm always trying to keep him busy which can be exhausting sometimes. He also needs to learn to swim and feel more comfortable putting his head under water. He loves swimming with his vest on but is not too confident without it yet. After last summers drowning scare Liam is going to be taking more swimming lessons this summer and during the year.

Liam loves Blake but has a lot to work on with being kind to him. He still pushes, yells, fights, and grabs from him. Still a lot of jealousy there that we're working on. I do see moments during the day when he will play with Blake talk with him, make him laugh which is so precious to watch. Blake just looks up to him so much. It hurts to see Liam be so mean to Blake sometimes but we're working on it.
