Be Active Be Happy: March 2022

Happy Birthday McKay! What?!? How are you 4 already! You keep our lives full of energy and laughter! We love you soooo Much!!!

Here are some fun things about McKay at 4 years old:

4 year Dr. Appointment: Weight: 36 pounds (48%) Height: 3 feet 45 inches (69%)
McKay is my character in every way...never a dull moment with him! We love it so much! He loves to pretend to be a dinosaur or a powerful Cheetah!
He is no longer taking naps! He technically could but then he would be up until super late! We decided that it is best just to do quiet time with a show or something!
Thankfully he has been potty trained for a while now! Yay! Now we just need to work on getting him night potty trained! But this boy loves to pee anywhere. On occasion he has peed in the tub, or often outside, just random places that makes you shake your head and say "ugh McKay, why?!"
McKay is a Big time tease! I think he just likes the big reactions he gets...Mostly does this when he is tired! Luckily however he is super sweet to his baby brother Jackson!
He is starting to play really well with friends! I especially love when him and Catherine are best buds!
He is getting into playing with legos! Him and Caden will build legos together for awhile!
McKay is obsessed with gum! If you buy him a pack of gum it will be gone by the end of the day! Basically he does that with anything sweet!
McKay just likes to play rough! He tends to break most toys we get him, so we don't like to buy much for him anymore! "Play hard or go home" kind of mentality I guess haha
This boy can be the most kind kid ever! He will say thank you and please way more than the others! When he tells something nice about you it is so sweet and thoughtful! Melts your heart! He will tell us randomly all the time "I just love you"!
He is getting so good at riding his bike without training wheels!
McKay just has an amazing energy for life! Even the little things he will get so excited about and it is very contagious!
He loves preschool and is so smart!
His prayers are usually super long and the most thoughtful good prayers...very impressed by them!

McKay's Birthday Party

We had to postpone the party by a week because we had been in the hospital with Jackson and felt a little overwhelmed with a party the next day. But when it was time for the party We went with a dinosaur birthday party theme and it turned out soo good! I wanted to make it extra special because of everything with Jackson... I wanted McKay to know how much we cared about him! McKay has so many little friends his age that are boys in our ward right now that came to his party! McKay's friends that came: Benji, Milo, James, and Boone! We started out by doing a Pin the Tail on the Dinosaur. We then had an activity for them to dig for the dino fossil which ended up being a huge mess but they had a lot of fun with it! We then did presents and cake! For his cake he wanted a Oreo cake....So i found a yummy recipe online that turned out really good! McKay had a blast with his party and all of his friends! Caden and Catherine helped play hide n' go seek with the kids downstairs until the parents came to pick them up!
