Fantastic Freddie!

Freddie was in a weekly Super Hero preschool class in September and his super hero name was Fantastic Freddie.

Freddie has really grown so much since Sammy's started school. He is so articulate and smart, funny and sweet, and all that has really come to the surface now that he's not second in command. He is in preschool activities three mornings a week and thriving there, but still cool with hanging around the house with mom and Baby Jack.

He really enjoys working on puzzles. He'll put one together and then take it apart, bit by bit, just to put the pieces back. He loves to count. He'll count things as we are waiting in line at the store, he'll count the slices of bread for sandwiches, he'll just count to count. He has a very good memory. He can remember names and songs after hearing them once. He pays enormous attention to detail.

He is silly and adventures (he loves to jump off the arms of the couch like a Super Hero, much to his mother's horror), and very methodical. Not OCD methodical, just in the sense that you can hear the wheels turning when he is working on certain things. These sounds were there before, but they weren't "heard" as well with Sammy bellowing in the background ;) Freddie more often then not has to complete the task at hand, or has to have things go just the way he thinks they should go, which I think is a very good quality, as annoying as it is at times as the parent.

And he is an incredible big brother. He is still totally in love with Baby Jack. He always wants to hug him, hold him, help with feeding and check on him. Jack, in turn, has a lot of smiles and squawks for both of his big brothers.

Oh, and Freddie is going to be a Fire Fighter for Halloween!

Isn't fun to see a new side of your kiddo! He's growing up isn't he?

Sam is also going to be a fireman!

Sweet post.
