Gordon's Birthday

Gordon is my little 4 year old now, he loves being 4 and has started asking for 4 crackers every time he has them for snack ( in his pre-school class they let them have as many crackers as their age). He asked for pizza for dinner on his birthday and you can see the sauce on his chin in this picture, he was so excited when I told him he could pick what we were having for dinner. But I guess he gets excited about a lot of things, one of his favorite things to say is "YAY!"


He was so excited about Christmas coming up that he didn't really ask for anything for his birthday, so we got him a glo-doodle. I've been trying to get him to draw more on his own because he is always asking me to draw things for him, I hoped that this would encourage him to try it for himself. He gets frustrated and tells me " I can't do it", I don't know how to communicate to a 4 year old that it doesn't have to be perfect he should just have fun and do his best. He seems to like the glo-doodle and his older siblings definitely like it, they are always asking to play with it too.

Now that Christmas is over all that he is worried about is when he gets to go back to pre-school. He wants to take all his new toys for show and tell.
