Conversations can be light, yet meaningful. Or discussions can delve deeper than thought possible with the interminable inquiry of "why"?
"No" is often received as an acceptable answer.
The potty is nearly an entirely independent endeavor.
Amusements become an extended individual activity.
Organizing play-dates with friends becomes an enjoyable experience for the parents, as well as the children. Children can finally understand the concept of "taking turns". (Note this idea does not work as well with siblings.)
Getting dressed no longer requires trying on fifteen outfits prior to finding the "perfect" ensemble.
There is often a meeting of the minds when it comes to behaving badly.
The thought of being mommy or daddy's "little helper" is about as exciting as going to Disneyland.
Don't get me wrong, we still have plenty of trials and tribulations. But, really, age four is fantastic!
Happy Birthday my little VV! We love you!
You're growing up so fast! Hugs and kisses even though you dragged us to Chuck E Cheese for your special birthday dinner. Maybe next year we can partake in the Cinco de Mayo festivities at Chili's or On The Border (Hint Hint).
