Age 4, it's a good thing

Jay at age 4

Nick at age 4

I didn't make it any secret that age 3 was not a good age for Nick. He was uncooperative and broke out his mad eyes way too often. Yes, of course I loved him anyway but he made it challenging. Ha. For weeks leading up to his 4th birthday my mom and I prayed he would turn over a new leaf at age 4 - Turns out, he did! He's the delightful child we all know and love. I got to thinking though; I wish I would have blogged when Jay was 4. I remember really enjoying age 4 with Jay too. However, I did keep a diary. Below is some comparisons of the 2 boys - These are remarks I made in my diary when Jay was 4

Jay (age 4)

*is very physical and has athletic ability (still true today at age 8)

*is a pretty good eater, he'll at least try something

*Loves spending time with his family especially his Nana, Mimi and grandparents

*Loves fast cars

*is less affectionate, he will no longer hold my hand

*doesn't sit still for one second

*is very confused by today, tomorrow and yesterday

*still loves his blankie

Nick (age 4)

*Loves penguins & giraffes. His bed is filled with them and he names them all

*Loves spending time with his family

*Has funny down to a science

*Has the best mannerisms and facial expressions

*Is a big eater - His favorite, pancakes!

*Responds well to Jay when Jay is nice to him

*Is still very affectionate

*Is more of a Momma's boy than Jay - He still is all about his daddy and Jay too

And as a side note, Nick is also very confused by today, tomorrow and yesterday! I guess it's a 4 year old thing.
