being 4

i wanted to get some pictures of jorel before he was too far into being four!  he was a little restless but was so good to let me get some of him.  i actually was asked by my day care provider to get pictures of her family, for trades, so after an initial resistance, i said okay.  i am NO photographer!! so i practiced on jorel one evening hence these pictures :)

i haven't really done any updates on jorel for a long time.  aside from him being adorable, him being 4 hasn't been so bad either.  it really is amazing the things that they can learn and pick up on in such a little amount of time.  he has finally began to understand what it means to share - aside from with grandpa.  he is very kind hearted and doesn't like it when other kids cry, but he's also a softy and doesn't hesitate when he's had his feelings hurt or has been told no to something that he really wants.  he is really hard to give time outs to at the moment because he thinks i'm playing a game, until i usually bring him to more tears clarifying that i'm not joking and the 4 minutes begin.  he is still  OBSESSED with thomas the tank engine and gets them out to play almost everyday.  he has been eating a lot more and in phases, so you can tell when he really needs it.  He is 35 pounds and about 39.5 inches tall.  how is time going by so fast?!
