William is almost 4!

We can hardly believe our little baby boy is turning 4 in just a few days! WOW! In the past year he has grown a lot and has gained many new experiences. We enjoyed many fun travels with him this past year, from the Hawaiian Islands to the west coast and all around the gorgeous mountains of Colorado. We plan to keep the travel train going this year too, we love traveling with our little guy!

This past year we also relocated to the Midwest. The move was a little stressful, as all moves are! William handled it pretty well, though he was very sad to leave his friends and family back in Colorado. Overall though he has enjoyed the change, making new friends at school, and spending more time with our Chicago family.

William started preschool and has been learning so much, intellectually and socially! He really enjoys going to school and likes both of his teachers. He now knows how to write his name, love, Pamma, Grandpa, dad, daddy, mom, Luz, Nora, and dog. His reading is improving every day. He is excellent at telling us what letter words start with, and with a little help, he can even spell various words by sight and sound.

William has showed no signs of slowing down in the kitchen either. He plays with his kitchen set and all the tools and ingredients often, and frequently makes us all meals, like tomatoes on toast or vegetable soup. To help him explore this interest, we signed him up in a Lil Chefs class at our YMCA. The class meets once a week and cooks things that he brings home to eat.

Chris and I are very thrilled to watch our little boy grow and change in the year ahead.
