Chase Patrick: 3.5 years



Stats: I don't have any official stats as he doesn't get a checkup until his 4th birthday but if I had to guess I'd say he's around 40 inches tall and just under 30lbs. He is a rake!

Sleep: Chase has always been an amazing sleeper, until the new year hit. All of a sudden he was in our room every night, and me being half asleep let him climb into our bed and there he would sleep. Even though I knew I had to break the habit, I did enjoy the snuggles. After about a month of this going on we decided to move him into Asher's room. We thought maybe he didn't want to be alone, and that seems to have been the case. They have been sharing a room for just over a month now and with the exception of a couple of nights he hasn't come into our room until morning.

Social: Chase has really flourished in this area since he turned 3. He thoroughly enjoys pre-school; he loves his teacher Miss Donna and has made friends there also. He goes into Sunday School at church with no issues and have been involved in a sports class and swimming class. Though he is still a little reserved you can really start to see his confidence in himself building.

Diet: nothing new to report here, still loves food and all food! Never stops eating, ever. In fact he loves going to Costco just for the samples lol.

Skills/Milestones: He is finally jumping on his own, he's our cautious kid for sure, but he is so proud that he has finally mastered it. We have started up with swim class again and while it is his last parent/child class he has been swimming around the pool with out me by his side. He also learned how to get into the pool on his own. I can't wait for this summer when we live at the pool .
He know the alphabet and has started to learn how to write. He can count to 13 and hold up the appropriate amount of fingers. He has also started to show some interest in addition and subtraction.
He has been fully potty trained since October time. He can dress and undress himself as well as put on his own shoes, sometimes they do end up on the wrong feet though.

Favorites: Mummy, Daddy, Asher, grandparents, Lightening McQueen, Thomas, trains in general, airplanes, playing with playdoh, running around, dance parties, singing, building things with Legos.
 
I'm not going to lie some days are so tough with a three and a half year old. The tantrums and attitude can get ugly but overall we have a wonderful, kind, funny and loving boy that has a heart to serve others. He is curious about everything around him and asks a million questions everyday; it is clear he loves to learn and want's to know how everything works. He loves his little brother and is the first person to calm down Asher if he is upset, or wants to make him feel better if he is sick. I am so unbelievably proud of this little boy that is ours. Most of the time I forget that he is only 3.5 years old as he does act older than that 90% of the time.
