The Haines Family: Levi Turns FOUR!

My "baby" is no longer a baby, no longer a toddler, but a full-fledged "preschooler". He has been wanting to be four (or just older) for such a long time. Seems like since he was born he has wanted to do things that are beyond him. We could just tell that he wanted to "get places" before his body was capable of crawling, walking, etc. We could tell that he wanted to feed himself before he really had the coordination to do it. We could tell he wanted to dress himself or more so, pick out his own clothes before he was physically coordinated enough to do so. How could we tell all of those things?? B/c of how mad he would get when we would do them for him or when he would try and couldn't do it. Yes, Levi has "gotten mad" an immeasurable amount of times in his 4 years of life so far! He is our strong emotion boy. When he is loving and sweet, he is extremely cuddly, sweet and loving. But when he is upset, he is mad and you will know it! But this strong will and self reliance can be used for great things later in life, and I am fervently praying to that end! So, yes, our youngest is now FOUR YEARS OLD!! He is thrilled. I am happy for him, but a little bit sad for me...just how fast my babies are growing up. Levi will always be my "baby"! My Sweet, Sweet Levi!
