Caden at 5 1/2

WOW! Our little man is growing up! Caden has started Kindergarten and absolutely LOVES it! He 's made some great friends and adores his teacher:) Here are his unofficial stats at 5 1/2:

Height - 46 inches (80th percentile)

Weight - 40.2 pounds (34th percentile)

BMI - 13.3 (1st percentile)

Caden is still tall and thin. He wears mostly size 6 clothes (if the shorts have an adjustable waistband to cinch down) and a size 11.5 shoe. He likes to wear athletic clothes....t-shirt or hoodie with basketball shorts and tall socks:)

We absolutely love Caden's personality. He's very much a thinker, builder, and problem-solver:) He's kind, funny, fast, a good eater, logical (most of the time!), and loves being outside.

There are SO, SO many things to be proud if this guy for, but the one we are loving most at the moment is his character and kindness. Each day there is a "special helper" in his kindergarten classroom. That person gets to choose an assistant. Caden was chosen as an assistant by both Liam and Cashen. When it was his special day, Andie asked who he'd chosen to be his assistant, Liam or Cashen. Caden said " I chose Graham because nobody had ever picked him. He was very grateful and told me thank you for picking me three times!". WOW. Sometimes there's so much we can learn from our littles:)

Here are the links to Caden's video interviews - there's two because Andie and Landen were being extra helpful:)
