swing.

We needed to get out of the house, and blow off some steam yesterday.  It was 32 so I figured that if we bundled up, we could head out for a little bit.  We stayed at the park and swang for half an hour.  Until poor Clara was shivering...even though she screamed everytime I tried to pull her off the swings.  She kept saying "ock, ock" (rock, rock)....

{My 4 yr old}

 
 
My Cash Henry has turned 4!!  Where has the time gone??  I don't think a Mama ever stops saying that, after every birthday that passes of her kiddos! 
 
Cash woke up and got his present from us (new bow and arrow set with 2 moving elk!).  But I should back up a tad to the night before his birthday....As I was tucking him in, he instructed me to "get busy getting all the birthday decorations up for his birthday!!"  Geez!! Of course I didn't want a total scene, so I obeyed....
 
After presents, he got ready in his "man pocket shirt" that he had gotten from Nana and Grandpa.  Nana came over for the day, and she bought him an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen.  It was a big hit!  We sang and he blew out his candles again.  His birthday dinner request was pizza.  We got Pizza Hut pizza and breadsticks, and he did actually eat all his meal :)
 
He had his 4 yr check up the following Friday.  He weighs 36 lbs (50%) and is 41 inches (65%)  I was shocked that he weighed that much!!  This child rarely eats!!  They checked his vision (looks good!)  and took his blood pressure too.  I had them check his left foot, since I have been noticing that it turns in when he walks.  Dr.Pepper decided that it would be best to have it checked out by a pediatric PT.  We have an appt on Dec 26th in Helena to see how things look. 
 
This year has been a trying one to say the least!!  I think we went through a lot of changes, with Clara being added to the family, and a battle of wills goes on daily!  Cash is super smart and so he can often have an answer ready before you can give yours.  He can be argumentitive and stubborn one minute and a sweet, caring boy the next!  He is concerned when people don't feel good or get hurt, and is quick to tell US that we are doing a good job at something!!!  He is a good big brother to Clara, and as long as she isn't in to his toys, we are doing good!!  He is obsessed with dinosaurs!  We hit the library every Friday for Storytime, and rarely leave with less than 10 dino books.  He can tell you the difference between an Allosaurus and a T-Rex down to the amount of fingers they have on their claws! 
 
He goes to pre-school this year 2 days a week for 2 hours.  He loves Ms.Susie and has made lots of friends.  He is VERY outgoing, and makes friends easily wherever he goes!  Everytime we are at the mall playground and other kids come, he has no problems walking right up to them and saying "hi I'm Cash, what's your name?".  We enrolled him in Karate at the YMCA this November.  He goes for half an hour twice a week.  He gets super excited on those nights! BJ usually takes him and it's their special boy time those nights.  Sensai Zack seems to do a good job with the kids, and we will continue to have him take lessons as long as he still enjoys going!  T-ball starts in the Spring, and he can finally join in this year!!  Nana and Grandpa got him a super nice Tee for his b-day, so once the snow melts, I am sure he and BJ will be out swinging the bat!
