4 year stats

Here are some 4 year stats for ya! I love to look back at these posts and see how things have changed (or not changed!).

Anna Kate:
34 pounds- 45%

39.5"- 45%

Drew:

36 pounds- 50%

40"- 45%

They don't measure their heads anymore but I would safely say that they are still on the larger side although they both seem to have grown in to their heads a bit. I think that contributes to them looking more like little kids and less like toddlers.  They both have long, skinny legs that I have no idea where they came from.

Anna Kate is still my girly girl. She loves to wear pretty things and wants to wear a "sundress" most days. She is still very motherly towards Drew and really enjoys playing with and mothering her baby dolls. Anna Kate is a coloring machine. She will sit quietly and draw or color for hours every day. She is sassy but is no where near as stubborn as her brother. She took a serious turn in the sleeping department and quit sleeping through the night this summer. Most nights she winds up sleeping on the floor in our bedroom.  She is also the early riser. When she is tired, she will rustle and root around (we liken it to a dog doing circles to make its bed) but as soon as she gets herself to that comfortable spot, she's gone. She will pile up as many stuffed animals, dolls, etc... as she can possibly fit into her bed before going to sleep. Anna Kate comes up with some hilarious things to say and has been accused of talking a lot. She is also very insightful. She really pays attention to her surroundings and takes note of things you wouldn't think a four year old would catch. One of her favorite toys is her drawer full of hair bows. She gets them out and will dress up a babydoll or stuffed animal. She likes to come in the bathroom and put on her makeup while I am getting dressed. She is a big helper and wants to help with the laundry, dishes, and cooking. She is not a very good eater and does not like to try new things. She would live on snacks alone if we would let her. She loves to sing and will make up songs on the fly. She is a very sweet girl with a precious little heart. I love her so much and can't wait to see what a kind and caring person she is going to be.
Drew is still all boy. He is rough and tumble and has a tendency to get a little too rough with his sister. He is stubborn and not a very good listener. I often joke and say he may speak a different language than we do! Drew is a talker like his sister and only has one volume..... LOUD! Drew love, love, loves to build things. He will go straight to the blocks or Legos. And we should never dare to take his creations down. I have the feeling he is going to be an engineer someday. He will get the large, cardboard blocks at DotDot's house and his tools and will build a building/hideout/Jones Equipment. He will take his hammer and carefully hammer them in to place. Drew still loves to snuggle and is one of the best snugglers around. He loves to help his Daddy and Papaw work on cars or lawn mowers and loves going to the barn to "tinker" with his Grandaddy. His newest thing is that they need to build a "bookhouse". He says he has to get the measurements and will take the tape measure out and will measure something. Like his sister he is very observant. He will also take directions out and can put together a train track or a Lego set by using the pictures on the directions. Drew isn't a very good eater and will not try anything he thinks is stinky or looks gross. He would eat mini pancakes for every meal if we would let him. He still loves to play the drums on anything and everything. He doesn't love drawing as much as his sister but he does love music class. Drew is still very opinionated about what he is going to wear. He has a select few outfits that are his favorite and if I don't watch him, he will dig them out of the dirty clothes. Drew's laugh is infectious and I love the way his eyes light up when he smiles. I sure do love that little boy!
