My son recently turned four, and I’ve discovered I’m entering a new stage of parenthood. (Do the changes ever stop? 
) So I thought I’d have some fun and share what this new stage has introduced to my life…
5. All electronics require parental controls since your four-year-old has mastered the remote, the mouse, and the touchpad.
4. Not only do you read books to your child, you’re now expected to play all the parts, complete with costumes.
3. As much as you’d love a bar of chocolate, you’ll have to settle for another game of CandyLand.
2. After lots of practice, you can explain why the sky is blue, why cars have wheels, and what “Yippee” and “Woohoo” mean.
1. Despite the fact that you’ll cry when your son or daughter goes to kindergarten, you’re happy to pass the question-answering on to a qualified teacher.
Do you have any preschool children in your home? Any memories from when your children were this age? Or any advice for a mom like me who’s just trying to survive?
Okay, for all of you who have a website or blog, tell me I’m not the only one who looks at her web stats every once in a while. I think we naturally want to know what resonates and what doesn’t so we can tweak our lineup accordingly.
5. Cardio kickboxing at the toy store: Another mom is racing toward the last Pillow Pet? Uppercut and jab. Another dad is buying the last Thomas the Train set? Hook and roundhouse kick.
g? Go up and down the ladder after hanging each ornament rather than stockpiling them up top. Incorporate a squat when you dig through the decorations box to find what you’re looking for. Don’t be embarrassed. Really. No one is watching…except maybe Santa 
.
