four

four is a beautiful age. you see little bits of personality shining through. but you feel like you're still able to mold it a little, change it a little and make a difference. i really enjoy quiet pockets of time with him these days. and feel like i have a little buddy for life. 

here are a few things i love about him! 

one - he's a sensitive soul. he's very in tuned with emotions and what people are feeling. recently D's been training for an upcoming marathon so when blake is awake, he finds me alone in bed. so he makes it a point to keep an ear out for the front door and will climb in to keep me company. its very cute. but one day, he thought long and hard and decided to give me marital advice - maybe we should sleep in the same bed more. poor darling thought that we were not sleeping together anymore! and was worried! such a silly bunny!

two - chatty. he talks non stop. he plays nicely on his own but makes up conversations between his toys and stories and is chatty chatty for hours!!

three - making an impression. he loves a little bit of humor. and would think of ways he can burst into class and make an impression. some days with a gift / treat for everyone, some days a dress up thing and sometimes a story. its cute to see how he plans the little surprises. 

four - adventurous. he's always game to try new things. go new places, try new classes, make friends and try food. he doesn't love everything but will give it a go nevertheless! i quite enjoy that about him.

ok little guy, you've been telling everyone you're 5 since you turn 2! almost there, buddy! we're so proud of your little compassionate soul and the joy you've brought to everyone's life. tone down the crazy energy, will ya? we're all ready for the big 5!!
