Nearly 4
My darling boy is going to be 4 in a month! How time flies! While he can sometimes be a handful, in the past months, he has shown that he is all grown up already, trying, in fact he insists on being independant - whether it is putting on his clothes by himself, or his shoes, or the seat belt in the car. In the supermarket, he wants his own trolley and he goes "shopping" for his cereal and milk and cheese!
Every morning when he wakes up, he comes to me for a little cuddle (now that its still summer holiday, we tend to sleep in a little, til about 9 in the morning). He greets me "good morning, maman" and then asks "did you sleep well?" followed by "shall we get up?" and "open window?".
Then we go to the kitchen where he pulls up a chair so he can prepare his hot chocolate and my coffee (under my supervision, of course) - sometimes, he makes a mess but mostly not.
If we go out, he wants to open the doors with keys and wherever we go, Lucas greets everyone he meets with a "bonjour". In the supermarket where we frequent, the girls working there now know Lucas by name :)
Lucas' latest favourite cartoon is "Save Ums" - he can sing the whole song, in French. In the past month, Lucas has been going to the centre de loisir, 4 half days a week. And its really been wonderful for him - he comes home speaking more and more new french words. He chats non stop and speaks in french even with me!
I noticed that he plays by himself and uses his imagination quite a bit , creating conversation between his toys.
School will reopen on Monday and Lucas is excited about going back to school. He says he misses Eliane a lot, and 2 weeks ago, he went out to our garden and picked all the flowers for Eliane!
In the past couple of months, we managed to keep in touch with his friends from school, and had some playdates with his 3 girls. Lucas was also hanging out with Matheo, and is into cycling :)
He is always asking to go to Matheo's house so that he can cycle with Math. But inadvertently they both end up fighting over one bicycle...
We promised Lucas he will get his own bicycle (not a tricycle) for his 4th birthday...
