In the MOMent with Meagan: From Three to Four

Filed Under: Family

WEB_IMG_4260

Andrew turned four just last month, but so far it seems to be a magical age. Full of adventure and imagination, laughs and silliness.

WEB_IMG_4275

His new favorite activity is arts and crafts – coloring and drawing pictures, cutting shapes and making paper airplanes. He asks for his colors and paper first thing in the morning and last thing before bedtime.

He wants me to write out the stories he tells and is always asking me how to spell words.  He wants to help read his Dr. Seuss books and sound out the funny rhymes: fox, box, over, rover.

This transformation happened overnight it seems. Don’t get me wrong. He still wants to run and jump and makes way too much noise. But his quiet calm times are outpacing the wild times.

And the tantrums and uncooperative attitude are getting better too. He’s easier to reason with and transitions aren’t nearly as tricky as they used to be.

We’re having so much fun. And I’m excited to see what this four year old is going to do next.

    Beautiful images Meagan! Four is a lovely age! Two and three are tough, fortunately at 4 they love helping and creating and being responsible. :)

      Thank you! Yes, I thought 2.5 - 3.5 was really, really hard. But we've left toddlerhood behind, and I'm so so happy about it!

      They're these awesome window markers. I found them at our Kroger for $1 - they're super shiny and pretty! Y'all would love them!

    Oh please dear LORD tell me the 4's are better than the 3's!! Haha - you and my SIL have given me hope! Your last part about transitions and reasoning...we're stuck in the beginning stage of that..."joy"!

    Four is such a turning point and I love how you've captured it. I have a four year old now and its such a breath of fresh air after the storms of age three. Enjoy!

      Thank you Brea! And yay for four year olds! I feel like people always talk about how terrible three is, but I don't hear much about four. Thanks for sharing! :)

Annie has been struggling lately with feeling angry. I’m hoping this will help and we can figure out how to best help her when she is upset. The books are super cute and have affirmations at the end.
