Super Lex, age 3...but almost 4!

My son David Alexander... is awesome!  We call him Alex or Lex.  Now that he is nearly 4, he is learning to spell his name.  He likes to write L E X and he recognizes his name as L E X and not A L E X.  When he sees a word that starts with "A" it is automatically associated with his sister Annika, whom he calls "nonny". 
He spells M O M and D A D all the time.  He attempts to write his name all the time.  "E" is very hard for him and he doesn't quite write linear yet. He places the letters all over the page.  This picture of him here...climbing the Rock Wall at Annika's Elementary School playground...so typical.  He loves to take chances (sometimes).

Lex really works at things when he is given a task or project.  At this age...just before four, it is very important to develop that curiosity and self-drive.  I want him to want to come to the table and sit and create something and listen to directions.

Physical activities and large motor/small motor efforts are essential not only to strengthen the body but the mind and to allow a child to gain confidence that they have the power to use their mind and control their body.  Lex really loves sports like golf and baseball and badminton.  He loves riding a bike too!

Seen here, Lex is counting Gummy Savers he was given as a treat.  He looks adorable in the hat but didn't want to keep wearing it after the photo.

These are from our first sledding time together at Roger Williams Park.  You can see Lex's Dad's job behind the kids here...Park West.

Lex here with his Nona (my Mom).  In their arms is Yoda...my Mom's Dog.  Lex loves the dogs.

Here, Lex gets the chance to follow a bike route at the Warwick Fire Safety Day

Lex learns and explores at the Warwick Public Library.

He is a real character!
