“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2012.”
Che: Oh hello 4-and-a-half-year-old-Che-with-attitude! I’m sorry, but no child of mine rolls their eyes at me, even if I’m interrupting breakfast with the camera (my lens has no zoom, hence I need to get pretty close).
Poet: One word: flick.

Ah, the eye-rolling era begins. Sigh. Here too.
I thought it was a teenage thing. Clearly it's not. I think we've just had a burst of testosterone – apparently that happens at four. Any mumas of 4yr-old boys care to comment?
It does happen at four, fun & games! I'm sorry I posted from my iphone I don't know why it repeated so many times??
NOOOOO! I'm having struggles with age three… have been looking forward to the easing off of drama that came when Ivy turned four. Now Ted's gonna get some kind of testosterone surge…? The other thing is the half-birthday disequilibrium – have you heard of this Jodi? 2.3, 3.5. 4.5….kids struggle, developmentally. It's all a bit tough. It's been true for mine thus far.
I'm the mama of 3 boys. 4 IS different! I've read they get the same dose of testosterone at 4 that they do at 15. Thats ALOT in a small body. I completely agree about the 1/2 birthday thing too, mine always are accompanied by a fever then a huge developmental leap.
Oh my! I just laughed out loud. Well I should be concerned if the eye rolling is meant to start at 4 .5…
Love a good eye roll first thing in the morning!
these are gold, jodi. I love them! poet is looking more and more like you every day – those lips! x
Haha Che's facial expression is priceless. Both of these photos are beautiful though.
ah, my husband still gives me that look if i interrupt his morning toast! must be a boy thing.. (and, oh, that flick!) xx
I have a 4 year old with attitude! Ive also read about the surge in testosterone. I think my son just isnt a morning person – much like his mama!
Those children of yours have lips to die for!! Loving the 'tude. Go Che 😉 x
Sam does exactly the same face!
What absolutely perfect captures. I hope you show him that one when he's older! 😉 xx
I love, LOVE the pictures of your children this week!
I usually reply with 'What was that?' but lately 'I don't like the sound of your feet!'.
Love the hairflick! Poet is really growing up isn't she.
As for Che, my daughter, nearly 4, has started with attitude and cheeky talk. 4 going on 14 more like it!!

Lovely photos! Think the hormone thing must work for girls, too as my daughter slammed her bedroom door and told my husband and I that she hated us. Wasn't a happy day.
oh I don't you love the attitude!?… my 3 and half year old thinks she's 13 somedays!… Loving the potraits! … think I might do the same! A good way to remember this time before there are 3 of them! : ) samara x
Ha! Che looks so impressed. Let the games begin! x
Oh love those children portraits 🙂
Hugs form Italy (I love your blog, it's absolutely gorgeous!!!)
Oh Jodi I loooove these, Poets hair always makes me smile !!!

Sometimes I like the surly pictures better than the smiles- love these! So much personality.
I'm a new reader and I didn't want to be a lurker so I thought I'd stop by and say hello! You have a gorgeous blog and this is one of my favorite projects!
Thank you for sharing you beautiful family and photos!
