It is like someone flipped a switch within my son! He is turning four in just about a week and we have seen such a difference in him. The level of questioning, his observations, his conversational skills have all jumped. And, thank goodness, his behaviors are decreasing dramatically! It is not perfect yet, and maybe it never will be because he is an intense kid (like his momma), but it is soo much better. He can stop a meltdown before it really even gets going and then can listen to an explanation about the situation. Yippee!!!
So age four brings good things! It makes a teeny sad because he is soo grown up. No more baby, all little boy! So this layout celebrates him. I used Dream Street again! I am hooked. It is hard to find a good paper line for boy's, but Fun & Games rocks! I cut the star from one of the papers and added the brads. I folded one of the borders to give it more dimension! These letters are from the $1.00 aisle at Target! Score! Journaling on this reads: The closer you get at age 4, the more changes I see. You listen, can turn off those meltdowns and you love to help. And, shockingly, you actually stopped long enough to look, smile & say cheese. Oh, I love good ole 4!

When my son turned 4 a few months ago, I noticed a huge change too! He's a joy to be with!
Aww..I remember 4...I loved that age!!! Cute layout Stacey...your son is adorable!
Such a cute layout Stacey..and your darling son looks like he'd NEVER have a meltdown! :)
What a super cute layout! 4 years old seems like ages ago for me. They grow up so fast, don't they? Enjoy every moment!
Wow Stacey, that layout is fabulous! You are sooo in! I remember 4 too. It was a little different with girls but I just love everyone of those growing stages. :)
they grow up so fast. He actually looks older than 4 (in this layout)...but you probably don;t want to hear that! LOL!
Growing up is so fun. I remember when my guy made some of those milestone growth spurts. It really does open a whole new world.
Love this, Stacey! You've really been rocking the Dream Street lately... ;) Good luck! :)
