When Cole turned 4 we all celebrated a little bit. It was almost like he became a different child! In his journal I always would say, we love you but you are difficult! He has finally learned to channel his energy and keeps his listening ears attached for the most part! He is very loving and always wants to sit on me, next to me or by me whenever he gets a chance. He is the defender of the little one and is very compassionate. He loves to show brother how to do things and enjoys having him in his room.
He can swim! We go to the gym and I don't even worry about him anymore. He can doggy paddle and even take breaths while swimming.
The other day he drew this. It is Ethan.
He is perceptive and notices everything! He noticed that I pierced my ears before Matt had, he notices that I put in hair extensions and he always notices the shoes I am wearing. The other day I was leaving without children and he commented on my new purse! He said, "Mom, this is new, where is your diaper bag today?"
He has come a long way with food. He even ate cooked noodles with sauce on them. I had to take a picture to document!

i'm so glad they get a little easier as they get older. (knock on wood) what kind of journal do you do for them? how often do you write in it? i really need to do something like that...
Let's see a picture of those hair extensions!
I have a file on my computer with their name on it and write in in every few months or so. It is really funny to go back and read it. I'm glad I did it! Btw, I have been reading "How to Raise A Spirited Child" and finally feel validated as a parent! He isn't difficult, he is just spirited!
