Luke, Finn, and 100 Days Smarter

Luke and Finn

Finn thinks Luke is pretty funny.  This one is Luke's favorite picture with Finn.

And Luke loves Finn!

100th Day of Kindergarten and 100 days smarter!!

Luke loves Finn and Finn definitely loves Luke.  Finn will smile and laugh when he sees Luke and he loves it when Luke entertains him.  Although Luke can be a little rough and perhaps a bit overwhelming at times, he really loves Finn.  He always wants to hold him, play with him, help out when he is crying, etc...Finn also loves Liam and Aiden, but he definitely lights up when he sees Luke.  
Luke and Liam had their 100th day of kindergarten this week and came home saying they were 100 days smarter.  They enjoyed a few special 100 day activities and made some special hats to commemorate the big day.  Luke thought he would be moving up to first grade now, but I explained to him that we will have to wait a little longer before that happens.

Luke, Liam, and Aiden all had their 6 year and 4 year well visits recently and we are thankful that all looks good.  If it appears like they are getting bigger, they definitely are.  Luke has grown 4 inches and gained 7 lbs since last year.  He already weighs half of what I weigh!  Liam has grown 3 inches and gained 5 lbs. and is more in the average percentile for height and weight (Luke is above the 97th percentile).  Aiden continues to follow an almost identical growth curve as Luke.  He grew 3 inches and gained 6 lbs in one year.  For comparison, Luke and Aiden both weighed the exact same thing at each of their 4 year visits (45 lbs); however, Luke was taller by one inch.  

With Valentine's Day coming up, the boys and I have been working on their cards for school.  Since Montessori has large classrooms with children ages 3-6, we always have to start early to get all the cards done in time.  I still maintain that perhaps we shouldn't exchange cards until the kids are old enough to do them on their own, but I have never stood by that idea.  So, we are making 150 Valentine's for school (50 per child) next week.  Luke and Aiden picked Star Wars and Liam picked Ninja turtles.
