Good morning!

Does your 4 yr old know their address? Phone number? Last name? How to call 911? How to actually use the phone to make a call?

Um, no.  Crap.

Fortunately, everyone on campus pretty much knows he belongs to me.

Off campus, well....  crap.

I don't think he even knows his last name to be honest.

Hmmm.  Add that to the to-do list, lol

Wanted to add...

he doesn't know how to use 911. 

BUT, he most certainly does know the red button in the elevator connects to 911.  :bag   .  Twice.   They were none to pleased with us.

Good morning. M2 does know both my phone number and his dad's phone number(we only have cell phones) He also knows his last name, and my full name and his dad's full name(we have different last names).

He doens't know his address so much. I've been teaching him, but most times when I ask him he doesn't remember.

He knows about 911, but I don't know if he'd actually dial it if there was an emergency.

He does know how to make a phone call. I've let him dial his dad's number from my phone or my number from his dad's phone. He's also called my mom, but only when I'm telling him the numbers.

Most of these things the doctor said are more thing that they learn at 5.

I've been lax on this. Braydon knew it all at 4, Kaylin not so much.

We leave for Hawaii tomorrow and I need more time! Still have to clean the house and hair removal has not even begun. Yikes!

mikey knows his first & last name (and he tries to spell the last name but omits the LL giggle.gif )

he has no idea what a phone number is or how to call someone. he also doesn't know our address but i haven't been pushing that one since we're moving soon.

I just started working with Charlie on this.

He knows his last name. He knows our names. He knows his street name.

He could take someone to the house if necessary.

We just started talking about 911 (we just got safety books). I showed him how to use the phone (which button to press first). I'm going to let him call my mom from now on to get him used to it.

I also posted a sign on our fridge with the numbers of our street address, our phone number and the steps to call 911.

Hopefully we'll never ever need it.

Clara knows our (dh and i) proper and full names, the city we live in, which is small.  emergency services would have no problems finding us with that info.   she also knows how to dial 112 (our version of 911).

Yup! He knows his address and his last name. When he introduces himself to some one he says, "I'm Colin Grant Gi....And this is my mom Jennie Gi."
biggrin

He always calls DH by his full name when he's angry at him.

No to the phone number.
But he does know 911. And he knows how to make a call on my phone- Just press the green button twice and you'll get Daddy.

Morning!

Mark does not know our address but I think he knows the name of our street
. He doesn't know his phone number yet but that is what they're working on at preschool next week. I was just trying to think of a song with seven beats to teach him. (I'm going to try the ABC song.) confuse

I just got a call from my boss. She asked me to sub today, so we're off.

TTYL.

Gavin knows his full name. Phone number, not at all. I've just started trying to teach him. We only have cell phones, no home phones. He doesn't know our address either.

No to the address but she is great with directions and could guide someone here. She knows how to use a phone. She knows about 911 but not sure if she would call it. She knows first and last of all of us(Stephen's last is different). Never even thought about explaining to her why his is different. She hasn't asked yet.

Went to the pumpkin patch today with her class. How is it that I'm the only adult dirty from the neck on down? I have mud, dirt, pumpkin juice, cow slobber, whatever the pigs were rolling in all over me.
