Last week was Jonas’s birthday! I think birthdays are a great time to capture a bit of what someone’s life is like in the moment, so I documented some of the things that really characterize him as he turned 4:
At 4 Jonas…
- …loves babies and can make them giggle like magic, even if they are crying.
- …could play with Legos all day long.
- …prefers clothes with superheroes on them. Especially Batman.
- …looks up to Eliza in the most adorable way.
- …sleeps in a big kid bed.
- …talks a bunch of gobbledygook and insists it is French.
- …likes Eric Carle, Dr. Suess, and Olivia books the most.
- …loves learning about science, especially space.
- …is into Aquabats, Doctor Who, Adventure Time, Pokemon, My Little Ponies, and Star Wars.
- …calls everyone his “beeeest friend.”
- …has a ton of energy. All of the time. He’s going until he’s out cold.
- …is always asking to spend the night at “Abba’s house” (his grandparents’).
- …says, “Please? Nicely!” when he wants something.
- …wishes that every meal could be macaroni and cheese.
- …is so very sweet and considerate.
- …climbs everything and has unnatural upper body strength.
- …has long “rock star” hair.
- …break dances whenever we turn on music.
- …is constantly unintentionally hilarious.
- …keeps his room super tidy, unlike everyone else in the house.
