Our Smiley big boy is FOUR!

Yes it is true! S is now officially four as of April 3. We had General Conference this weekend for church and it is hard to get/plan a big celebration during Conference, so we just did a family party with cake and presents and we will have his party with family and friends this weekend. He had a great day! It is so fun now that he is getting older to see him really understand what happens on your birthday. He LOVED all his presents and was so good at posing for all the pictures! He is really into Legos now, but only if his Daddy is around to help him build and create things (Legos are not a strong suit of mine
;0) He also really likes Star Wars, although he has never seen any movies, but we go down that aisle a lot at Target so now he knows the characters and what a light saber is, ect. Daddy also will tell him some pretty cool Star War adventure stories before bedtime. I think his favorite present was the set of three nerf guns (so he could easily share one with K). It was a good day for him and a great weekend for us as we were able to listen/watch our leaders of our church share inspiring messages and wisdom.

On Monday this week they celebrated S's birthday at school. He wore a birthday sticker and he came home with a birthday crown. He loved the cupcakes I made, which made me feel like a million dollars since he was so proud that his mom made them for his friends! They were chocolate with green frosting and blue sprinkles. He picked everything out himself and helped with lining the pans with the papers and mixing the batter with the mixer. What a great helper!

Other wonderful things about our big four year old:
He still smiles almost always! I love that about him!
He is doing very well in school and is talking a lot more clearly and saying a lot more too! We are very grateful for the program that he is in.
He plays really well by himself and with K (most of the time) ;0)
He likes to know the plan each day and is very much about sticking to the plan, which helps me be more organized too!
He is a great oldest child and we feel so blessed to have him in our family!
