Ty- 4 1/2

Our sweet Ty is 4 and a half.  I love this age because he's still small, but he is gaining a lot of independence every day!

Ty . . .

is very generous.  He loves to share and will always offer whatever he has to people around him.  He gets to go to the "penny store" at school and pick out toys/candy for good behavior.  He usually picks out something for himself and then something for one of his brothers.

changes his mind a lot.  I'll ask "Ty, do you want honey mustard or BBQ sauce with your chicken?"  He'll respond one way and as I'm pouring the sauce, he'll change his mind.  I'll ask "Ty do you want a mint before school?"  He'll say "No (pause), I mean yes"

loves to teach Mark.  He likes for Mark to repeat after him; Ty is teaching him new words.  He also likes to show him how toys work or how to operate them.

is not into movies yet.  He'll usually watch the first 20 minutes while he has popcorn and then he gets bored and wants to get up and play.

loves music, mostly country.  He always wants to put it on from the ipad.  He likes Luke Bryan, Zac Brown Band, Georgia Flordia Line, and Carrie Underwood.

loves sitting down to play games; Uno, Candy Land, Operation and puzzels.  He always asks me to play with him and I will tell him we will play when Mark takes his nap.

likes learning math from AJ.  Recently AJ has been teaching him addition.

loves to take selfies with my phone and with the ipad, tons of them!  He'll make silly faces and click over and over again!

has really good hand eye coordination, loves to play catch and is very good at it.

just recently gave his nap on a consistent basis, but will still lay down if I ask him to.

doesn't like to play by himself.  He would rather interact with someone.

loves coloring and does very well at staying in the lines.

wears 5T or boys 5/6 Small pants and shirts and has a size 13 shoe.  He is very tall and has big feet for his age!
