She had a height growth spurt!
height: 3 ft 4in 70%
Weight: 35lbs 50%
Etta really likes hearing how she is a big 4 year old girl. She had a lot of fun talking to her Dr, showing off her one-footed-hopping skills, listening to the stethoscope, talking about Halloween, etc. She was super independent and brave and did not make a single fussy noise during her vaccine.
Her speech therapist loves on her like a grandma and is always impressed with how Etta listens & follows directions, has a big vocabulary, etc.
In co-op preschool Etta is getting close to two girls and likes holding their hands or playing house with them. She is not afraid to speak up during circle time or talk in front of the group.
Lest you think she is the perfect child, let me be clear: I love her to pieces. But she can have an attitude problem. If she does not want to hear what you say, she will actively avoid eye contact and just pretend you do not exist. If she is upset about something (and sleepy or just woken from a car nap) her fuss tantrums can last a loooong time.If she wants to do something, even if she knows she should not, she may just decide that she will do what she wants and screw the consequences.
And she is 4 now!
