He knows his days of the week, months of the year, the Pledge of Allegiance, and can count to 30. He can also write his first name, which is not an easy task with it being so long.
Hallister is always listening and will repeat stuff we say, even if it is days later, and even if it is something Jonathan and I were talking about, not even to him. He also has a remarkable memory. Just the other day he said, "Remember when I slipped in the mud at Preston's party and I got my shoes muddy." That was last July! Hall also has an amazing sense of smell. He tells me when Liberty is poopy or just by smelling my breath he can tell me what I just ate!
Hallister is 3' 3" tall and weighs 32lbs 6oz. He wears size 3T pants, mostly 4T shirts, and size 9 shoes. He is very helpful around the house. He feeds the dog each morning and gets dressed on his own. Anytime Liberty has a poopy we call for Hallister and he entertains her so she won't put her hands in her mess.
We took Hall to the dentist and it did turn out he had three small cavities. We had them fill one of them, but barely. He got very anxious at the end. I'm not sure if we will be able to get the other ones done without having him sedated. Thankfully they are very small though. We have cut back on sugar we give him, which isn't a lot. He occasionally has a pop tart, but his favorite sandwich is just jelly. I bought a sugar free jelly for him to use. His other favorite foods are popcorn and chicken nuggets with honey mustard.
If we are still in this house Hallister will go to Preschool at Castleman Creek Elementary in the Fall. It is the school right behind our house. That will be convenient to walk him to school. It is only half day, so it will be a nice way to ease him into Kindergarten.
On the weekends when Jonathan needs to work on something in the garage, and the other two kids are sleeping, we will park the suburban at the end of the driveway and Hallister enjoys setting up cones and riding his bicycle. He is very good about watching for cars and always wears his helmet, but we mainly park the burb there because of careless drivers that go down our street.
Hall is very caring, sensitive, and loves to give hugs. In the picture above Hallister brought me a "snack" while I was in bed taking a nap. He is so sweet. Hall really loves to cook, but it takes patience because he wants to do everything on his own. He is a big helper after eating, and takes his plate to the sink after excusing himself from the table.
After last Halloween when he was a fireman he is still really into firetrucks. At school when they play dress up he always puts on the fireman outfit. We will see if this enthusiasm wears off or if it turns in to a future career. He still loves to play with cars and trains.
We are so proud of our sweet boy!
