Gabriel is 5 yrs old, I don't even know what to say. It snuck up on me.
The little man is 41 lbs and 3ft 4in tall.
He is starting Kindergarten this year which is just totally crazy! We have been working on math.
Counting, addition (he uses his fingers), subtraction (more fun with M&M's), and even counting by 5's.
We are also working on his letters. He knows the alphabet but has trouble recognizing some of the letters. Hopefully we get there soon. He knows all the letters in his name really well its those pesky ones that aren't that we have trouble with.
I am also trying to get him to eat faster too. He is just about the slowest eater you will ever meet, but I have a feeling that the school isn't going to let that slide.
Now for my worries, he has so many food allergies that I am concerned about him eating next to other kids that could be eating peanut butter. I also am afraid of someone trying to switch lunches or something. Oh the horror. It's not like he is just allergic to one food, it's like eleven! I just need to put on my brave mommy face and pack his epi pen and make sure everyone knows about it and how to use it but ahhhhhhhhh. I will give him credit though if you tell him "this has wheat in it" or "this has eggs in it" the first thing he says is "I can't have that". He just needs someone to know what is in it.
The thing is, I am sure he will be fine, it's just the over protective, nervous, mommy that cant handle it.
We did just take him to the allergist and knocked out a few of his allergies off the list so we are working in the right direction. I am so excited and he's been trying new foods!
Mommy loves you baby boy!
