My little man

My little man isn't so little anymore. He is growing up! He is getting bigger and stronger with each passing day, and he is sure to remind me of it. Four years old seems so young but he does the biggest things. 

Lance shovels off the driveway before daddy gets home. 

He checks the mail all by himself!

He loves to "read" magazines. 

He is the best helper ever!! He helps me cook, clean, opens door for mommy and other people. He always says, "women and children first!" 

Lance can't wait to turn 5. When asked how old he is he always says "I'm 4, almost 5 then I'll be 6!" 

Lance can count super far and recognizes numbers with 2 digits like 55. He can add and subtract single digit numbers. 

He knows ALL of his letters and can draw them. He knows what sound they make and even what sound some of them make together. 

I seriously am wondering what his teacher is going to teach him next year because he knows everything and he will tell me "I know everything. I'm the smartest boy ever!" 

Lance is always sure to tell Me that he loves me. He will say "hey mom" when I ask what he wants he will say "I just want to tell you that I love you so much!"

He LOVEs animals! We have lots of animal books that he loves to have us read over and over again. His favorite show is on PBS at 4:30 called Wild Kratts which of course is all about animals. He knows soooo many animal facts, it's crazy! 

He also loves complex things that require some thinking to design and build. 

He is all the time cutting up boxes and using ALL of my tape, glue and staples making an "invention" or "machine".

This little man has learned to whistle in the last week and walks around whistling everywhere. 

This little man will be starting kindergarten this year! 

I gues this little boy isn't so little anymore! I wonder how I am going to feel in the next 5 years! Thank you, God, for this little man in my life!
