I am so far behind in my blogging and instead of trying to catch up (we have done way too many things) I will just pick up with current events. On October 10th by big boy turned 4! It has gone way too fast and I find myself loving the time I spend with him. The things he says and the way he sees thing is so darn cute. We had a Superhero party on Saturday to celebrate Drew's birthday. We invited all of our family and 11 of Drew's little friends attended as well. I think next year I will have 2 separate parties, but all in all it was a great day.

Things about my big 4 year old boy:
1. He has a great sense of humor. (the other day I complimented him on setting the table ("wow, you did that all by yourself" Drew: " No, a ghost did it. It was a friendly ghost."

2. Likes things just so. I will find him picking up his toy room. Drew "it is just too crazy in here for me" (a little like his grandma Julie :)

3. He can count to 20. Knows letters and most of the sounds, can write his name, and draw a picture of his family (of course arms and legs coming out of our heads)

4. Can dress himself, but gets his left and right shoes mixed up at times.

5. Is very caring. Will cry if he thinks he hurt someone's feeling or accidentally bumped into them. He is also caring towards his sister. If she is crying he will say " Kinley is having a rough day." "maybe her teeth are cutting up or her bootie hurts" What a considerate little guy.

6. He can still run run run very fast. Ride his bike without training wheels and pump his swing.

7. Still loves his hugs. Yesterday morning Drew said, " I am mad at you mom" Me: " Why?" Drew: "because you forgot my morning hug"

8. Is very into earning money. When we moved into our new house and had Mckinley, Drew would frequently show up in our room in the middle of the night. We invented the bed fairy. It worked like magic and she would leave things under his pillow if he slept through the night. One day she was out of candy and left money. Now that is all Drew wants her to leave and lets just say he is always staying in his bed. Every money he counts his money and when we are in stores he will ask how expensive things are. I think we need to give Drew a note soon from the fairy saying " You don't need me anymore" before he breaks us.

9. Is so cute

10. Is all boy!
