"I'm 4 today, Mommy!"

Our kiddle in the middle turned 4 today. My mind is still spinning. He can't really be 4 already, can he? Well, he's been telling me all day that he is 4, so I guess it must be true! P Man has been so excited for this birthday since before Christmas, so you can just imagine how bubbly he was when he woke up this morning. He's been bouncing off the walls all day, and I have been so happy for him. My sweet little man just bubbles over with glee when something special or exciting is going on, and nothing makes my heart happier than seeing his cheesy, round cheeked, ear to ear grin. Yep, I love my little super hero! The day started off with cereal. I know, lame, right? It's what the birthday boy wanted though, and there was no use arguing with him, right? Then, we took a few pictures, and headed over to Grandpa Chris' and Grandma Sang's house for a visit. Grandma and Grandpa had new coloring books, crayons, and stickers for the kids today, and boy, did they have fun. They also had ice cream! P Man was serenaded with Happy Birthday all throughout the afternoon, and that just made his little face light up. Then, we headed home for a special dinner followed by a new movie in pajamas. All in all, I'd say this big boy had a fantastic day, and can't wait for his birthday party in 2 weeks (which he shares with his younger brother).

Some fun facts about our 4 year old:

He loves all things boy like super heroes, cars, balls, tools, and weapons, but he also enjoys playing with dolls, ponies, and his big sister's doll house.

He is obsessed with Scooby Doo.

He can sing the ABC's, knows how to count to 10 (higher with a little help), knows all his colors, most of the shapes, and is learning how to write his name.

He loves Spaghetti O's and hates PB&J.

He still throws tantrums.

He has his own made up language full of silly sounds strung together, and these words make him laugh hysterically.

He doesn't like to cuddle anymore, but always asks for hugs and kisses.

He likes to dress himself.

He hates wearing socks or shoes in the house, just like his mama.

His favorite drink is milk.

He's the easiest kid at bedtime, but the hardest kid to get out of the tub.

Happy Birthday, my big boy!
