My Almost 4 yr Old


I feel like a post just about Nash is long over due. He has really changed a lot and is a at a fun and challenging phase. He is very smart and amazes me at the words he knows, the things he remembers, how quickly he picks up on things, and his understanding of different things. He is very sweet. He LOVES his baby brother and is great with him. He thinks of others and is very kind. He is enjoying playing soccer and plays with a lot of heart. He loves being active. He soon will be starting t-ball and is very excited about that. He is so funny. He keeps us laughing all the time. He  has his dad's sense of humor where he will say funny things you don't expect. He loves to sing and learns songs so quick. We have several "our songs". He loves to read and can pretty much read his Thomas books to me at night time. I think probably more out of memorization than reading the actual words but it's still pretty impressive.  He is becoming so independent. He likes to do things by "my own self" and surprises me the things he can do on his own. He is becoming more brave and is not so afraid of things as he used to be. He is very proud of his accomplishments when he does succeed at doing something new.
With all this new independence comes some challenges mainly being argumentative. He wants to be right even when he knows he's wrong. We have some batttles some times but nothing that can't be handled pretty quickly. The boy is deathly afraid of time out so we normally can redirect his behavior with that. He is an obedient and eager to please kid so thankfully the battles aren't that rough.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this boy!
