We have four year olds!!!!

Somehow, it is true. The boys have been four for a week now and I still can't believe it. Exciting and sad at the same time. Four isn't "baby" at all anymore. All of a sudden Blakey wants to be called only Blake, I'm now "mom" and not "mommy" and when I say to one of them "okay, baby boy", I get an emphatic "but I'm not a baby!!!!!". Um, okay then.
We had a first "real" theater experience last weekend. We took the boys to see a kids jazz concert. We knew, of course, that Nicolas would be engaged but I was worried Blake would max out halfway through. Guess what- it was pretty awesome!!! N sat there, hardly blinking, for the full hour. Blake got a little wiggly but handled himself with great self- restraint and we got to stay for the WHOLE concert. If this is four, I say "yes, please!!!".
