Life at Four

Image hosted by Photobucket.com At four you are still small enough & cute enough to get away with some things. And you are big enough and smart enough to utilize it. Daddy's heart melts when you look up at him and say please, and mommy will do all kinds of things for hugs and kisses. This makes you popular with older siblings, who have you be the lucky little spokesperson who gets to ask daddy if we can have pizza for dinner. Image hosted by Photobucket.com
At four you find sheer bliss while playing outside with your friends. The neighbor's dirt pile is your castle, and you get to be a jedi, a king, a knight and a pirate all in one day. Image hosted by Photobucket.com At four you can eat all of the corndogs you want without blinking an eye and somehow not get sick. You don't care that there's ketchup on your shirt & dirt on your nose. You run through the sprinklers in your underwear & the neighbors think you're cute. There is nothing to stop you from being you - the world hasn't yet imposed it's ideals.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com Life at four looks pretty fun to me. And I get to witness it through you little Vern. I thank you for that, and for the sometimes nutty, always cute & oh so wonderful four year old boy that you are.
