James is a five year old boy and spends his days at the
Manchester Early Learning Center. He is the average size for his age and has blond hair and blue eyes. He is very well behaved and usually remembers to use his manners when talking to people. James’ parents no longer live together, but he spends time with each individually. One of activities James loves is to sit down on the couch and listen to someone read him a story. His favorite books, however, are the
Where’s Waldo? series, and he can easily identify Waldo as soon as he turns the page since he looks at these books so often. He likes to play
Chutes & Ladders, even though he does not yet understand the rules.
When the day care provider needs help with anything, he is always the first to offer assistance. James is almost always laughing and giggling with anyone he talks to, and loves to make new best friends!
Physical Development

James’ first birthday, he could stand up by himself and started walking shortly afterwards. According to Feldman, James met these milestones close to the typical ages of most infants and toddlers.
James is now five years old and shows ordinary physical characteristics.
