The boys had their 4 & 5 year old checkups last week. Zach has grown 2 1/4" and gained 2 lbs--he's now 38 1/4" and 32 lbs 4 oz. He jumped from being in the 3-5% last year to 25% in both height and weight. He passed all the tests...even the hopping that he didn't want to do (and we all know he can!). The doctor made a comment about the boys' different personalities and how he can tell which one is more independent and stubborn...more of a "handful." Adam grew 3" and gained 4 lbs...he's 39 3/4" and 36 lbs 4 oz. He also jumped from 3% to 10% in height and a whopping 50% in weight (he was at 25%)!

We're almost done with the soccer season. Both the boys have had a great time...Zach really got into it and has scored at least one goal at each game. Adam continues to be assertive--I think he feels confident on the field and has scored several goals each game (one time he said he was going to make 55 goals...).

We celebrated Zach's 4th birthday on Sept. 26. At our house on your birthday, you get to choose what you want for dinner. Zach chose chicken, cheese and chips, and chocolate cake and chocolate ice cream (just like mom)!

Both are doing well in preschool and enjoy going. Zach says he has five "best" friends and Adam has three friends. They always are excited to see if they have a "job" that day. I guess the most sought after jobs at preschool are holding the flag during the pledge of allegiance (which they say in English and Spanish) or being the line leader because then the next day at preschool, you get to bring snacks and show and tell!
