No time for making wishes (I don't think he gets that concept yet). He could hardly wait until we were done singing to blow those babies out...
I guess he just knows the sooner we get that part over with, the sooner we get to eat the cake!
He got some fun presents too. Ben starts his first season of soccer soon, so Granny & Pops got him all ready to go...
The Hopewells got him some fun color changing cars and an orange motorcycle (2 of his favorite things right now)...
And last, but not least, he got a scooter from mom, dad, and Matt Mo. He always has to take a turn on someone's scooter whenever we go to the park or a friend's house, so now he has his very own...
He thinks he's so big. And I guess he is.
Here are some little tid-bits about our BIG 4 year old Ben:
- He has more energy than any other kid I know.
- He is very excitable... and very cute when he gets excited.
- He can make you want to scream with all the questions he asks.
- He likes to push your buttons... don't ever let him know what bugs you!
- He loves anything with wheels... cars, motorcycles, trains, diggers, bikes, scooters, etc.
- He is quick to forgive.
- He is "Ben-gyver"... a very creative problem solver, escape artist, and engineer.
- He is a control-freak... can you say "1st child".
- He drinks milk like it's water and would eat peanut butter and honey sandwiches for every meal if I let him.
- He loves the color orange (for now... it used to be blue).
- He loves to help with things like taking out the garbage, cooking, yard work, and especially anything involving tools and/or putting something together.
- He makes at least a few trips to time-out every single day... STILL.
- He looks really cute in big boy underwear... when he remembers to put them back on after using the potty.
- He makes me smile, frustrated, almost cry, exhausted, laugh out loud every day, and I wouldn't trade him for the world!
