4 to 4

And in just a blink, my tiny 4lb baby is now 4 years old! With Alex's b-day falling on Monday of the long weekend, it was fun celebrating for several days. He was very excited this year and asked about his b-day over and over and over. Next year I plan on having a fun countdown for him instead of just marking it on the calendar.

We did lots of yard work and planting this weekend which is what he LOVES to do. Many worms found good homes this weekend. Sunday, Patty and Ally treated him (me too) to a movie. This was his second time in the theater. He nearly drove me nuts all Sunday morning about the movie.

I let Alex kind of rule the day on Monday. He picked pumpkin chocolate chip muffins for his breakfast meal. He had chosen boiled eggs for dinner, but I convinced him to have those for lunch instead. :) So, for dinner we had tacos. At his request we had a dump truck cake...actually two...one red and one green. His present from us was bike. He gets frustrated but is getting the hang of it.
We ended the fun day in the basement riding out a severe thunderstorm....he appears to enjoy storms as much as I do!!!
