Adorable 4-Year-Olds!

In honor of their fourth birthday, I decided to choose the four words that best describe the twins' individual personalities right now.

BRAYDEN


Clever - Brayden is very smart and comes up with innovative solutions to problems. I prefer it when he uses his cleverness for good rather than evil. For example, when he was potty training, he quickly figured out that if he put on two pairs of Pull-Ups he could pee all day long and I would still think he was dry and give him treats.
Athletic - Brayden can run fast, hike for miles and never tires out.
Sensitive - He cries when he watches Snow White and The Land Before Time, while Makenzie, on the other hand, can't figure out why he is crying.
Curious - The shear volume of Brayden's questions is exhausting; he is curious about everything! I try to put things in terms that I think a pre-schooler would understand, but that isn't good enough. He wants to know everything! He is constantly asking about HAFB and wants to know every detail, including who buys them their airplanes. Have you ever tried to explain the concept of tax payers to a 4-year-old?

MAKENZIE




Nurturing - Whether she is nursing her stuffed elephant or rubbing Lexi's back to make her feel better, Makenzie is very nurturing. She will make a great mother someday.
Adventurous - Makenzie is always looking for a new adventure. She loves climbing rock walls, the taller the better. She always wants to try new things and pushes to do better. This morning, she hopped on her new bike and started riding before she even knew how to use the brakes.
Clumsy - I hate to say it, but the girl trips over everything. She has the scrapes and bruises to prove it.
Outgoing - Makenzie makes friends wherever she goes!

THE TWINS



As twins, Brayden and Makenzie also share many of the same traits. They like to tease each other and are silly as can be. Sometimes they fight as all brothers and sisters do, but they will be best friends til the end!
