!!!!!! 4 !!!!!!!

I
HAVE
A
FOUR
YEAR
OLD!


im laying in bed last night,
AFTER jack came crawling in..
which he somehow knows and thinks
that todd is working midnights and i wont hear him.
of course i hear him, and secretly LOVE it.

so as im laying there last night,
listening to his deep breaths
i'm thinking. he is 4.
FOUR.
i have a 4 year old!
the transition from 2 to 3 wasn't that big of a deal.
so why is three, to 4 becoming so heart-wrenching?
is it because he is talking more,
and closer to school age?
whatever it is, i am having a hard time with it.
i cant get over that he is 4.
with every age, i find myself saying
"i love this age the best"
but i feel like i am enjoying the stage he is in now the most.
i'm sure i will say that again next year.
but for now, i guess all we can do is..
sit back,
watch,
enjoy,
and cherish..

Oh Michelle

I hate to say it, but pretty soon 4 turns to 14, and then you have 10 years of Abject hate of him...

Enjoy his cuteness NOW, and stock up on it, so you can remember why you DONT want to strangle him when he becomes a teenager (hee-hee)
