Difference between age 4 and 5

[superfly2018]

Everyone talks about the terrible twos and threenagers. My ds is 4 but what can I expect to see between ages 4 and 5? What changes will I see do you think?

They become so much more grown up! DS pushes our buttons a lot more than he used to. Takes forever to do anything, I'm nagging incessantly and sick of my own voice. They can read things! Genuinely good company as you can have a proper conversation in a way you couldn't before.

Oh god the reading things... emailing school "why you sending an email to Little Nowhere Primary School mummy"... going past a "hand car wash" and the voice of wisdom from the back seat pipes up with "hand car wash - I think it would be better if they used water instead" and the like.

Expect - negotiation attempts and arguing the toss on a level normally only seen on the Apprentice, strops to rival a teenager, the influence of YOU versus the influence of what Joey Smith in my class says to diminish rapidly and bloody hell the button pushing!

They're lovely though - I hated age 4... 5 is lovely... 6 are little sods (my eldest is 6 going on 16 at the moment).
