Four years old

Elijah is four years old today. And as of today:

• everyone calls him Sidge. And if they don't, he asks them to "please call me Sidge."
• he has been asking tons of why questions. Just now, while having an easter egg hunt in the living room I said, "You can keep looking or give up," and he said, "What does give up mean?"
• his language has gotten pretty clear. While people struggled understanding him for a stretch a year ago, he is now pretty easy to understand.
• he is still definitely the "little" brother. Isaac runs the show. He still lets Isaac, basically, boss him around. Not sure how long that will last.
• is wearing mostly 5T clothes.
• he is the biggest four year old we know. Definitely "towering" over his friends. (Don't see that changing, like, ever.)
• he still talks about Turkey a lot but has accepted that this is his new home.
• he can put on his shoes himself and is learning how to put his socks on by himself.
• he can completely undress and dress himself.
• he isn't really taking naps anymore. We still do quiet reading for an hour in the afternoon.
• Isaac can still "take him" in a wrestling match. Sidge has no idea how strong he really is.
• he loves TV/movies. If allowed, he could watch it all day without hesitation. We definitely have to limit him as he wouldn't do it himself. 
• he really doesn't know a stranger. He is kind and loving to everyone.
• he really is an easy kid -- easy to please, easy to play with, easy to love.
• he is a bull in a china shop -- he spills things and hits his head frequently and with great fervor.
• he gives great hugs and is full of love.
