At four years old, Kaelia is now 37 lbs. and 40 inches tall. She is full of personality, showing both a very sweet and loving side as well as a sensitive and angry side (particularly when in time out!). There is also a super silly side to Kaelia's personality. She loves to make us all laugh, and Taelyn finds her hysterical! Most often, though, she is full of smiles, hugs, kisses, and snuggles.
Kaelia loves to play and use her imagination. Some of her favorite things include playing with dollies (Disney Princess Barbie dolls), coloring and painting, dressing up, and reading books. During a typical day, Kaelia will change her outfit at least four times! She also loves going to playgrounds and could swing on the swings all day if someone was willing to push her for that long. She does know how to pedal her own feet, but she prefers going higher when someone pushes her.
The latest and greatest topic of play for Kaelia is currently Disney's Frozen. She knows all of the songs by heart, and her and Taelyn do a great job re-enacting some of the scenes - especially the opening scene where the sisters are kids. Kaelia also has a favorite number: 12. We are not really sure why this came about, but she brings up this number all the time. If we tell her she has five minutes left of bath time, for example, she might respond with, "Um, how about 12?"
Kaelia is also understanding peer relationships more and more. She likes to play off by herself, but also loves playing with others. She is very close with the little girls in her class, although she sometimes misinterprets social situations and thinks that people are being mean when they are just making different choices than she would make.
At school, Kaelia has done very well developmentally. She uses scissors, colors in the lines, can count and identify all her letters, and is even starting to work on her phonetic awareness. Some of this is probably because her big sister is doing the same things in Pre-K, and Kaelia catches on very quickly to whatever her sister does.
