Roman is turning 4 in two days. He has been waiting and asking about his birthday daily since May. It's been a long 5 months!!
It's strange to me that he is ONLY 4 years old, yet time seems to have gone entirely too fast.
Roman is special. He gets overwhelmed very easily and is the most exhausting child to be around. Anything can set him off. His blocks falling down. His chair not being the perfect distance from the counter. Me not being able to read his mind and giving him the wrong thing for breakfast. There being (imaginary) crumbs on his food. His puzzle pieces "wiggling." Or the white crayon is being a "bully" to him because it won't show up. (Life's tough sometimes!)
His favorite phrases are: "it's too hard," "this is boring," I can't wait." It's especially fun when he yells "this is boring" during primary. (It is a long time to sit.. I'll give him that.) You have to be very careful what tone of voice you speak to him in or he will instantly break down crying "you hurt my feelings."
He was getting stressed that he didn't know the right words to say when he said prayers. So I told him just to talk to HF and tell him what you like and what you are scared of. That he just misses you and wants to hear from you. So his prayers usually go like this..
"Heavenly Father,
I like my mom and my sisters. I like my shoes and my socks and my books. I like my closet. I am scared of the dark and I'm scared of spiders and bats and dragons. I'm scared of monsters and snakes.
Jesus Christ, Amen."
He is also the funniest kid you will ever meet. Whenever I say something he agrees with he shouts "amen, sister." He is quite smart and can put puzzles together that are very difficult for his age. He tells me it makes him happy when all the pieces fit together. OCD?? I am his best friend. He tells Tate "mom is the only one who can tell me what to do." He gives me random kisses on the arms and the best squeeze hugs. I'm sad that that will end one day.
He has an imaginary friend name chase who he talks to, plays with, and fights with daily. Sometimes he will be walking then purposely fall down and tell me chase pushed him. (Is that normal??) He still has his darling little lisp and his funny shaped head. And his dimples that could melt your heart.
I am sad he is growing up. I am going to miss my little baby tremendously.
