Timothy is our 4 year old. He is amazing. He chose not to talk (other than learning the alphabet, numbers, shapes, and colors...) until he was 3 years old. He is making up for it now. He loves to make Liberty laugh. His best buddy is Christopher, who learned to talk right along with him and they say many of the same things. Christopher's big disappointment right now is that Timothy is using the potty and he isn't. Soon. Christopher is only 16 months younger than him. They both LOVE Buzz Lightyear and Toy Story. We have lots of little Buzz Lightyear figures around here. They loved Michael's big Buzz to death. There are a few beanie Buzz's. We even have a little Lego Buzz but he's packed up.
He's a big little guy, almost as tall and as heavy as Samuel, who is nearly 2 years older. (22 months apart like a lot of our kids). He loves picking out his own clothes. He likes going to Primary and Sunbeams now. He gets to give the scripture and prayer tomorrow. We'll see how that goes.
He likes singing in Family Home Evening. He doesn't like being read to, because that means we're going at a different pace than his own. He does like helping and listens well, but there are some things where he just dances to the beat of his own drum and nothing you say will change that.
Timothy loves to be active and figure things out. He hates help. He insists on doing it all himself. He will get himself something to eat. He will get himself something to drink. He will clean himself up. I think we were almost to the point he would have changed his own diaper if we hadn't started potty training. He loves puzzles. He can equally play alone fine or get along with others, as long as he's in charge somewhat. He is definitely a challenge to figure out some days but a joy to have around. We are glad he's part of our family.
