Frantically waving my magic wand to make wishes come true.

Four

Saturday, D woke up four years old.

He started the day by declaring the following, when I turned the channel to Sesame Street:

"Mommy, you change the show? This is a baby show".

Later, he surprised me with his sudden ability to grow facial hair.

My baby boy. He's grown up so fast.

9to5to9 said...: New to your blog and just wanted to say, I can SO relate.

My Big Guy just turned 5, and, as a kindergarten sophisicat, has stepped up his shunning of all little kid things.

To wit, his new boycott of Noggin. "I can't watch this! It's for preschoolers"

No growth of facial hair yet, other than the milk mustache. Seems he's not too old for some little kid things!; 7:57 PM
Anonymous said...: Too cute! Glad he's enjoying being older and more mature. :-) Happy birthday to him!; 11:45 AM

xoxoxo,

Fairly Odd Mother said...: You guys are so great. Thanks for all the sweet birthday wishes. And, Audrey, I was the same way before D turned 4---very teary and wistful. I barely got through singing "happy birthday" without weeping. SB---Dali is a good one but I was thinking Charlie Chaplin. . .; 7:22 AM
