Asher- 4 years old

On June 11th, Asher turned 4!  I can't even believe it!!

He is just growing up so much!  He's quite the talker, and singer, so it's definitely not quiet in our house!!

Here are some other things he loves.
Loves playing games.  Hide and seek is a big one. So are guessing games, like guess what animal I am or I Spy.  And now board games like Candy Land are a favorite.
Asher enjoys reading and singing to Maggie.  He likes to be a part of her pre-nap or bedtime routine. He's the best big brother!
Building forts and playing with Model Magic are frequent occurrences here.
The red light, green light "game", or a race gets us through a lot of things he's not thrilled with doing. Basically making things a game is a win for Ash.
He once did a puppet show for us and added a commercial. Crazy kid!
Fruit leather for snacks.  I sometimes have to limit as he would eat multiple per day.
He gets a kick out of going under bridges on the freeway.  Puts his hands up and shouts, "under!"
The teachers at church tell me he often has them laughing all through class. Funny kid!
If you have a secret or surprise or present for someone, don't tell Asher.  He spills the beans immediately!
He has a new alter ego- Lightning Ash!  He's a superhero of course. And superheros are big loves of his at this point.  Mainly Spider-Man.

Here are some "firsts" he's had over the last 6 months.
Asher loves learning new things and he started preschool in January.
He saw snow for the first time.  He loved making snow angels!
He now has some small chores around the house- puts silverware in the dishwasher, puts away his clean clothes, and helps make his bed. He's such a good helper!
He went to the dentist for the first time and rocked it!
It's not a "first" but I feel like frustration outburst/tantrums have already drastically decreased! Yay!

Here are some noteworthy things he's said.
"Do you want to hear [fill in a name of a song]? How does [name of song] go?"
"I wish I could go to the dentist again".
"I want to do a dance party; to Michael Jackson." He's 4!!! Lol!  (A boy after my own heart!)
"Daddy's the strongest. I'm next. You're 8th."  Hmmm...
"You can't even believe it!!" (Said about lots of things.)
"I'm just a drip nervous." Or, "I'm just a nibble nervous."
While giving hugs at bedtime one night he says, "I'll never ever destroy you." Um thanks, I think.

So far he loves being 4! He seems so proud and tells everyone. We love you so much Asher!
