My biggest boy - 4 years old!! He had a great day with his favorite foods to eat, presents, and chocolate chip muffins. He also made good on a promise that he made me almost a year ago: That he would go poo poo on the potty when he turned 4. (Prior to this day, he insisted on going in his diaper. When I would ask him about it, he would quickly get irritated and say that he would poop on the potty when he was 80 years old. When I explained to him 1) that he would actually probably be BACK in diapers by then and 2) that they don't make diapers for 4 year olds, he agreed that he would poop in the potty on his 4th birthday and not a day sooner.) Well, he did it. I have pictures, but I will spare you the details ;)
All poop talk aside, we are very proud of the young man that David is becoming. He is a kind and loving brother, a sweet son, an eager learner, and a funny and fun kid to be around. Some of his latest "tricks": He is reading and doing simple addition and subtraction, he can play Twinkle Twinkle and a new song called Lightly Row on his violin, he gets dressed and brushes his teeth all by himself, he is developing his skills as a basketball player, a golfer, a swimmer, a dancing machine, an expert bug-cather, and a Wii player.
He is pictured here with his two favorite toys from the day: His bug catcher and his Plasmamobile.
Happy Birthday, David Joseph! We love you like crazy.
