2. Almost like he had been here before…!
3. He looked around as if to say ‘oh this place again!’

8. He is left handed

21. But he doesn’t like tomatoey Mince meals
22. When having Chilli, will eat everything but the meat
23. Same with Spaghetti Bolognese
24. Cheese makes him sick
25. Oh and so does Oyster sauce

27. But will eat apples, bananas, oranges, kiwi fruit and mandarins until there are none left.
28. He is definitely a leader
29. He never forgets anything
30. And I mean anything, he will remind you about something that happened a year ago! And he would have been 3 ½ or 4 then!
31. He loves Hi 5
32. He knows lots of their songs
33. And the actions to the songs
34. He also likes the Wiggles, I can’t stand them!

39. He has started to learn to write his letters and numbers
40. He can write his own name and his brothers
41. He loves answering the phone and will talk to the person on the line for ages
42. When he talks to Grandma he walks around the house showing her everything
43. Poor Grandma can’t see any of it on the phone but happily amuses him as she has a guided tour of the house, again!
44. He loves to help you with things
45. He loves singing
46. He will sing with me in the car to all the latest hits on the radio
47. And he even knows the words!
48. His favorite colour is Blue
49. And apparently he will be trying everything when he is a big boy of 5

So that is our big man for now, I know he will change a lot during the rest of this year as he starts his big journey through school.
