All About Simon

If you already reasd this post about Simon, please read again. I added a couple of things.

I often do posts about Calleigh and I wanted to do one about the boys as well.

Simon is 4.5 yrs old now(will be on the 29th). He is 36 lbs and 40 1/4 inches tall. He is in the 25th percentile.

He likes to be a helper but only when he chooses. He likes to help in the kitchen. He has a mind of his own. Listening is not his strong point.

He is a very polite boy with manners and loves to give hugs & kisses. He likes to cuddle.

He will only wear size 4 clothing because that is how old he is. If I dress him in something that he does not want to wear, he simply takes it off.


Simon will be going to kindergarten in the fall. He knows his colors & numbers and how to print his name. He knows the alphabet but does not recognize all letters & call them by name. He knows S is for Simon but if I tell him to find a K, he would need help.

He is a philosopher. He asks questions and we wonder where it came from. He talks ALL the time. It took him a long time to start talking and then when he started after 2, he spoke in full sentences and hasn't slowed down since.

Simon is a perfectionist. He likes things to be "just so". In sunday school, his craft has to be perfect, the glue in the right spot, everything lined up etc. At home he is the same, his toast has to be cut just the right way. If he has a granola bar & it breaks in half then he can't eat it.

Simon is afraid of dogs (and cats) and we had one jump into our fenced yard last week. Simon & Calleigh were playing in the backyard and a big dog jumped over the garbage stand, right into Calleigh's face. No one was hurt but now they are afraid to play outside.

He is so caring. He says, "I'm a good mom to Calleigh" because if she cries, he hugs her & pats her back and says "it's okay Calleigh"

Simon likes to watch tv. His favorite shows are Berenstein Bears, Handy Manny, Busytown Mysteries, and Sid the Science Kid. He also likes to play games on the computer. He plays Treehouse and Curious George games.

He can really test us at times but he is so sweet at times as well. I can attest that no 2 children are alike. Our 3 are all so different.
