wentzle at 4 years

I can't believe that W is 4!  I was looking at photos of W when he was 2 and wondering what happened to that little boy?  Don't get me wrong, I love that he is potty trained.  That he can feed and dress himself, most days.  He's also great conversationalist.  It's hard to watch our baby developing into a little being that has his own opinions and sweet sense of style.  We look forward to watching him continue to grow and change.

Here are the things he is into and those he is not and some other fun oddities.

His Likes:

-being a big brother
-riding his bike
-doing skateboard tricks (on the carpet)
-any sport with a ball / soccer, t-ball, basketball
reading books

-watching shows / Scooby Doo, Little Einsteins, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Jack & the Neverland Pirates, Sponge Bob, I think Toy Story is still one of his favorites

-dessert, he thinks this is a meal that should be served daily
-being a super hero
-singing
-dancing (we are working hard to get footage of this)
-getting his photo taken, especially if we are trying to take Zeph's pic
-drawing on the sidewalk
-crafts of any kind
-being silly
-games

His Dislikes:

-doing what he is told

-listening

-not getting his way
-not being part of what ever is going on (as you can tell by all of the photos of Zeph with W in the background)

Skills:
-jumps backwards on one leg
-helps with yard work
-rides a pedal bike
-has ninja & super hero skills
-he's crafty
-controls the soccer ball
-smashes the ball off the tee (sometimes he smashes the tee)
-gets down (dances)
-showers by himself
-can write his name and the alphabet (with help)
-brushes his teeth
-can go to the bathroom by himself, but doesn't always use this skill
-knows his numbers & letters
-writes his name, our names and many of his friend's names

Our Likes:
-that he is a super hero
-determination
-sense of humor 
-he sings jingles, verbatim 
-taking pics of Zeph with his "phone" (which is my old cell phone and doesn't work, he then acts out the pic for us) 
-his observations 
-how caring he is

Our Dislikes:

-waiting until the last minute to go potty... which is so painful to watch.
-how he has to be first on almost everything... 
-how he flips the switch, we never know what sets him off because it changes from day to day (it's so rough being 4)
-ignoring what we say
