Our youngest turned FOUR this past week…. FOUR!!!!  Although I was asked just yesterday if he was 6 or 7 (both our boys are trying to catch up with 6’5″ Dad…), it seems like he should only be about 2 in Mommy years… (Mommy years = how much time has passed in a Mom’s head).  Some 4 year old facts about Jack:

-he loves playing legos and anything to do with trains with his big brother

-he has found a new passion: making high pitched short screaming noises

-he is quite good at writing his name!  after I tried to help him several times, he decided on his own one day he would let us know that he really could do it.

-his legs aren’t quite long enough yet for his new Green Machine, but he can drive it Flintstone syle.

Yes, in the first photo here his dad is holding his head straight.  Because those of you who have had 4 year old boys know that they rarely stand still, or do exactly what you ask them to.  But he is still smiling.  Because he is an ornery boy, but he is a smiley boy.  And that is his middle name, Smiley, because it is my maiden name and my wonderful, only-child dad only had daughters!  So we are trying to carry on the name, in a small, but memorable way .
