four

yesterday, our middle boy turned four years old...

he was so happy and excited it was his birthday....

throughout the day he kept asking, "is it still my birthday?!"....

it was a day full of birthday breakfast, happy birthday songs, candles, cake, presents, a trip to a really big candy store, dinner at noodles & co. (per his choice), and lots of playing with his new presents....

he recently has decided that all things superhero are just the best thing ever...

so, i embraced his love and got him a superhero cape and t-shirt....

it was an absolute hit....

i just loved watching him run around...in full superhero mode.....

trying to make that cape fly in the air.....

(i apologize, in advance, for the overload of superhero photos. he just played with it A LOT on his birthday!)

all in all, he had a good day.....

to continue the fun.... we went for a little story time trolley ride this morning--a tradition we started last year.... he said, "that was a fun trolley ride, mommy. Can we take the trolley home?"

my sweet max,

how is it possible you are 4 years old already?  much more of a big boy than a little one now....

you are sweet, silly (when the mood strikes you), sensitive, and lovable...

quite stubborn at times....

sometimes difficult for you to come out of your shell....

but you sure do shine when you break free...

you are still working on getting along with your littlest brother....

you adore your big brother and are his constant shadow.....

you tend to march to the beat of your own drum...do your own thing....

but, you are content.....

we love you lots and lots....

you make us smile every day....

happy birthday sweet boy...
