Happy 4th Meaty!

Happy 4th Birthday to my Favorite Little Man!

• You have a great sense of humor
• You are affectionate
• You can dance like nobody's business
• You love music
• Just when I want to hang you by your toenails from the tree in the backyard, you pour on a thick coat of charm and cuteness and I instantly want to gobble you up
• You love costumes and are rarely seen in public without one
• You have a new found love for Lego's
• You love anything with an engine still
• You love any job with a uniform, preferably something neon...firefighters, police, construction crews, sanitation workers, paramedics...
• You are sassy
• Your curls...oh, your curls
• You a-d-o-r-e your daddy
• You use terms like "last day" (yesterday) and random numbers (like, "Spend $71 for my birthday)
• You are still not interested in singing ABC's, but I'm hoping you are somehow committing them to memory
• Your current favorite songs are "I Love Rock -n- Roll" by Joan Jett, and "The Saga Begins" by Weird Al Yankovic
• You are very anti-smoking, though clearly intrigued which I hope is a phase that passes quickly
• You randomly punch things
• You have very low impulse control when it comes to potty talk
• Your hearty belly laugh is priceless
• You wake up every day between 6:50 and 7:00 am
• You have milk, pepperoni, banana and crackers for breakfast almost every day
• You weigh about 40 pounds and it's all in your belly. Dad says you look like a spider with your spindly arms and legs and big, round belly.
• You climb on everything...furniture, up the side of the cupboards, the fridge, chairs, trees, fences, people
• You love to grocery shop with me

You are a wonderful little man and each year with you has brought surprises, challenges, laughs, worries, love, and pride.

I love you buddy.

Love,
Mom
