Kaj Guy is 4!

What does being FOUR mean for Kaj?
It means you wear a crown on your birthday at Kinderfarm and bring Dad/Kaj joint-effort brownies to share with your class. It means you tell your teacher you have a nut allergy because you overheard mom and dad talking about nut allergies the night before and decide this is something kind of special to have. It means you prefer PB & J any day of the week and very clearly do NOT have a nut allergy. It means you get the coolest flashlight sword ever, and call it a "lifesaver." Five minutes later you've refined it to "Light Saber" and spout Star Wars lines left and right, thanks to knowledgeable aunts, uncles and dads. You try to persuade your parents it's time to see the movie.
It means you get FIVE shots at your check up, but say you would do it again to get another nifty dinosaur toy from the nurse. Also, you insist on saving the band aids, but compromise on mom on taking a picture instead.
It means you have a way of convincing your mother you should designate your claimed birthday cupcake by eating a decorative chocolate circle off the top several hours before it's time to eat. If a little bit of frosting makes the journey as well, even better.
