You know when something HITS you out of the blue?

Like the fact that Christmas is less then a month away?

Or that you've been driving for over 1/2 your life now?

Or that your youngest is nearly 4 years old? 

4...

4...

4...

When the hell did that happen???

Maybe it snuck up on me because I still lie about his age.  

Like when we go to the pizza buffet.  I'm not going to pay $4 for him to to eat a 1/2 a slice of pizza, so he's 2 at the pizza buffet. 


Or when we go to the drive in.  He's 2 there too.  He never watches the movies, he plays in the car, or by the car or watches the dvd player if we remember to bring it but he doesn't watch the movie on the screen so we don't pay for him to get in, except when they played Toy Story 3, we paid for him that time.

Maybe it's the fact that, in my opinion, he lost the 'baby' look early and has looked like a little boy for so long.  Or that he's so independent I forget how old he is and then when I stop to think about his age it just shocks me.  Or that he hit milestones early, like potty training, he was potty trained before he was 2 so he's always been a 'big boy'.  He does look younger than other 3 year olds, not in a baby way, just that he definitely doesn't look like he's almost 4.

In about 4 months I can legally convert his 5 point harnessed car seat into a high back booster if I so desire, not that I will, just that I can.  He'll be starting pre-k through the school district in the fall.  He'll be 4.  We won't even start on the fact that big brother will be 6 just 2 months after that...

  1. My sweetest "baby" boy just turned 4 years old. Isn't it crazy how fast the time goes?
