Kier loves his sleep and getting him up in the morning can be really hard - again I feel like he's a teenager! If he's overtired he definitely can be hard to reason with. Usually I can see when he's fading and do my best to get him somewhere that he can sleep. If that's not a possibility it's probably going to be a rough ride. K is loved by everyone. I always joke that I'm with a celebrity when I walk around town with him. Kids and adults often call across the street, wave, and run up for hugs from him. He just has one of those personalities that you want to be around and I love that we get the credit of being his parents.
Interesting Facts
Weight: 41 lbs
Height: 3' 10"
Clothing Size: It depends on the brand - some 5T items still fit him fine but for the most part XS big boys for shirt/jackets/PJs and Size 6 slim pants
Shoe Size: Little Kid 13 or Big Kid 1M depending on the brand
Kieran likes: Playing with Reed, drawing and art work, playing outside (bikes, soccer, baseball), time on his tablet, and reading.
Kieran dislikes: Anything that is left a mess, he is very particular about having things picked up and tidy. He also becomes very upset and disappointed in himself if he's caught doing something wrong.
Nicknames: Kier, K, K-Bug, Bug-a-boo, Bug, Monkey 2, Lovebug
Food: Kier is a pretty adventurous eater and will at least try most anything. His favorite foods are artichokes, parmesan cheese, yogurt, pizza, cheeseburgers, lasagna soup, quesadillas, pineapple, and grilled cheese. Starting Kindergarten this year means being able to get hot lunch and K usually chooses to do that 1-2 times per week. His favorite hot lunch is Galaxy Pizza. If he could pick anywhere to eat out it would probably be Bella Rose (on Thursdays because they have lasagna soup). He's not a huge fan of meat but will eat what is served to him. He loves all fruits and has a handful of vegetables he likes to eat raw dipped in salad dressing. Oh yes, and he LOVES sweets!
Communication: Kieran has blown us away with his reading. He can read almost anything we give him and regularly polishes off multiple books in one sitting. He doesn't seem to struggle much with sounding things out and has stopped reading out loud unless I tell him he has to. He was named the best reader in his class this fall.
Favorite Subject: He loves reading and has fun trying to figure out math problems.
Favorite Color(s): Blue and orange
Best Friends: Kieran and Lyla are still pretty inseparable. Presley, Jake, and Greg from his class he seems to play with a lot. Jeffrey and Mason go to his school and he is always excited when he gets to play with them. He also adores Connor and Rory and is really exited they might all get to go to the same school next year. Kieran adores Reed and for the most part they play really well together which is so sweet to see. He even told me knows he's lucky to have a brother that is his best friend.
How Reed is sleeping: He goes to bed around 7:45 pm and sleeps until around 6:30 am most mornings. He sleeps in a twin bed, with a night light and sound machine, as well as his beloved Star Wars blankie. He doesn't take naps regularly anymore but if the kid is tired he will fall asleep wherever he is (car, dinner table, floor, etc.).
