Deven - four year check up

 

 

 

 

So Deven is 9...I'm mean 4.  Sorry, I'm easily confused these days since Dev is fast becoming a "big kid".  He says he's going to be sad when he doesn't live with us any more.  Where will he be living you ask?  We asked the same thing.  According to dev when he's a grown up he will be living at the fire station as a fireman.  Please note the picture of deven in his new fire suit to replace his out grown one.  Sleep easy folks our super hero fireman is on the job.

Seriously though deven has grown physically and mentally by leaps and bounds this year.  As always he continues to challenge our perception of when a boy his age should be doing or should be talking about or should be interested in.  Who knows any more.  All I know is this kid recognizes music artists from Hendricks to Macklemore.  He wants to know about any subject which is generally sparked by him hearing a word he hasn't heard before; only a true and full explanation will do.
Is he afraid or nervous to talk to you...or anyone for that matter?  Absolutely not.  In fact he wants to capture your attention so much and is thinking so hard that he will stumble over all of his thoughts colliding in his brain.

Speaking of his brain, he will lose it occasionally...or more than occasionally.  We look for it and call for it to come back frequently.  On it's way back it will stop at Starbucks and bring us all back coffee...a hot chocolate for dev...sister is to young for coffee treats so nothing for her.
We love our crazy, challenging talkative, hard working little man.  But boy is it nice when he takes his two hour naps on the weekend when we aren't running around town.
