Bryce 4 Years 11 Months



I can't believe that my baby will be 5 in just one month. Five seems like such a big boy. He will no longer fall into the preschooler age group, but will be moving into school-aged. So sad.

Bryce is starting to learn to act tough and suck it up when he gets hurt. While I like that he is able to control his emotions a little more, it also makes me realize that he is growing up on yet another level. He recently went to a jumpy house in San Jose with Nanny, Juli and the kids. I was told that he got hurt two different times, started to cry, and then took a deep breath, held back the tears and kept on going.

When Bryce gets angry his latest response is to huff at you and stomp off. He also asks us why we get so angry when most of the time we aren't angry, we are simply pointing out that he needs to change his attitude, or that he did something that isn't acceptable. He hasn't yet figured out the difference between us getting really angry, us not liking his behavior, and us just giving him suggestions/directions.

He is still really loving soccer and Tball. He had his Tball team party at Round Table pizza. All the kids were called up one by one to receive their trophy/medal. He was so proud of it.

We finally made the decision to send Bryce to Riebli for Kindergarten. We figure we'd try out the free option first and if it doesn't work out then move him. We felt by sending him to RVC first that we might be paying a whole lot of money unnecessarily and that once we started him in private school it would be difficult to move him into public. He had his Kindergarten screening at Riebli and is getting excited to go to Kindergarten.
