3 Going on 4

Brady will be 4 in April, and he can not wait!  He has asked frequently since Cal's birthday in October when his birthday will be and he has been planning in since then also.  The other morning on the way to school he said, "mommy, I'm kinda sick of being 3!"  There you have it, he is ready to be 4 (really he wants to be 6 like Cal, but 4 would be a little better).

A few weeks ago, I was tired of fighting over what he wanted to wear each day, so I told him he could pick out his clothes.  I was a terror about clothes at age 3 also, so I appreciate an opinion re:fashion!  Not a battle I am going to worry about (unless we are really going somewhere and I have been laying out like 5 options).  Here is what the morning I gave up the fight looked like.  This is what I picked out for him to wear.
It is a sweat-shirt and jeans.........what could be wrong with this?  To Brady, A LOT

I left him on his own for probably 20 minutes




And after a long deliberation, this is what he came up with

Red cord pants and a plain blue tee???????
Really? Whatever, he is happy.................
And, I am happy to report that there has not been any more fighting over clothes :)


Then an event happened last week that makes me think he may not make it to 4.


You can see it better in the top picture.  Little holes all in the wall, along with some cross and X drawings.
I hear a noise in Cal's room and go to see what it is.  Brady and his friend Payne had removed 2 doorstops that had screws on the end and were going to town on Cal's walls.  Making hundreds of little holes and drawing.  I still can not even figure out what made them remove the doorstops then think about using them on the walls (2 different walls)?  Matt was not near as freaked out about the situation as I was.  It appears that he took a hammer to his room as a child.  He told me this is just what boys do and he will fix the walls.  We were going to paint Cal's room anyway, it just may be sooner than later now.
