~ apparently ~



For months Jack has been telling us "When I'm a big boy.  When I'm 4."

Well 4 is tomorrow and, apparently, these are the things that he'll be doing from now on:

          * sitting up at the dinner table every night with everyone else

          * eating (or at least trying) meat, potato, pumpkin, sweet potato, tomatoes, capsicum, eggs
             {he used to eat EVERYTHING - I'm not sure when it all went wrong}

          * sleeping in his own bed every night

          * eating breakfast all by himself

          * wiping his own bottom 

          * have his hair washed without a tantrum

I always knew 4 was fun and fabulous and feisty.  But, apparently,  its so much more.
Bring it on ( I say bravely, barely able to believe my baby is turning 4)

  2. Happy Birthday Jack! Loved your post, feel better now about Bean's terribly fussy food habits. Am accepting this could go on until (at least) the big 4! :) Enjoy the celebrations. x

  3. Happy Birthday to your "Big Boy". I really love 4, although a bit daunted that it means Kindy next year. Hope he's having a wonderful day and starts ticking off some of those items in the list :-D
