That is, 'fantastic four' as in age...though all of us having super powers would be pretty fantastic.
Jacob hit the 4th birthday milestone on Good Friday; we had chocolate cupcakes for us to eat and candles for Jesus (as requested by Jacob himself).
As a four year old, Jacob continues to be what he's obviously been from the very beginning; a smiley, tender bundle of non-stop motion with deeper questions than you'd ever expect with a slight leaning toward perfectionism (though no recent book trails, concentric circles of CD's, or tantrums about imperfectly stacked domino's). 
He's all that plus his life changed when he came across the Mario game that accompanied our Wii at Christmas. Jacob requests to read the Mario manual- in all 3 languages. While he doesn't play, he watches intensely and soaks up every detail. So, expect to hear about Mario if you talk to him (whether you want to or not).
As an early bday present, we picked-out 2 stools for the boys from Ikea. It's hard to say who likes them better; Thomas, Jacob, or us! (Though Thomas did insist on sitting on his stool 4-5 times while walking from the Ikea exit to the car when they were purchased. Hilarious.)
Look at those boys hard at work!
