Yay! What do we have here? It's a picture post! :) And all the thanks and praise goes to Heidi J. Mast Photography for taking these and allowing me to share them on here......
My firstborn turned 4 a little while ago.
So hard to believe.
I can't believe how much he has grown up in the past year.
The most fun thing about this stage right now is all the funny things he is starting to say! Oh, yes, funny of course till he's embarrassing me by telling anyone and everyone stuff that very well doesn't need to be said! :)
We arrived at the cabin with my family the other weekend.
He had been told that we are going to the cabin..
When we got there is he was like where is Cavin? (he can't say his b's very well yet)
Nobody lives here we kept saying..
This is just a place for people to come stay at...
Finally he says in an exasperated voice.. "Where is cavin?? Where are they?? Did they ALL DIE!????
"I won't do that evermore!!" Is often his reply after something naughty has been done.. Or when he is done with something.. "Here you go Mommy, I don't want this evermore"
Finding out every one's age is the cool thing to do now that he is 4.
One day at Grandpa Smith's he asked out of the blue..
"Grandpa, how old are you?"
Grandpa replied.. "Well, I'm 49"
Carter's very quick response was.. "Oh ok, I'm 4 too!!!!"
What a way to make your grandpa feel young again!!:)
"Where is Heaven? Can we drive there? Oh maybe we can go there today Mommy!!!"
He is very certain we live inside "that ball" not on the outside of it.... (the globe, world)..
Driving along.. Out of the clear blue comes this little back seat driver..
"Don't crash, k Mommy?"
Yes, dear.. I'll try my best.
He is thinking he can keep being the boss of Brooklyn more and more these days..... Brooklyn, on the other hand, is thinking the opposite more and more these days.
End result?
Much fighting.
Their fighting is mainly with words. Hardly ever hitting.. Just alot of yelling and screaming. Fun times for thee Momma. :)
While shopping yesterday.. We were walking through the parking lot into the store.. He lets out this little gasp and was like " Wow, that is a cute car!!" "Oh, i like it!"
He is always looking at other children and deciding who's age they are close to..
"He's kinda like my age, Mommy"
"He's kinda like Brooklyn's or cousin Kylie's age"
He has plenty of drama for a little boy. Today i get the honors of taking him for a well visit and shots. Totally dread stuff like this with him. He totally freaks in these situations. His blood pressure was actually high at his last well visit. And he had a bad Dr. experience this past winter. And yeah he just freaks.....So i broke the news to him last night. And he was actually sort of OK with it. Ok, so i didn't tell him about the shots. Thinking I'm going to let the Dr. tell him that one..:)
Last week i had him to the dentist for a cleaning. He had had two cleanings before and it was totally awful. I take him to a pediatric dentist because there is no other option with him. He is in no way or no how aloud to throw tantrums at home. But we get in there and he totally goes crazy. It would take 5 or so ladies to hold him down. Anyhow, though, last week was a different story... He grew up in the 6th months in between.. He laid there as still as ever, did whatever they told him to do....
And when we walked out that place he said
"I LOOOVE that dentist!!"
Yup, my little boy is growing up.
I just hope this Dr. visit proves it as well.
*Edit: He did extremely well for all of his check-up.. even the shots! :) I'm thankful for the health God has given to each one of my children. Pretty sure thats something i take for granted a little too often.
