You're four. I can't believe it. The last few weeks have been filled with so much fun and excitement I don't even know where to start!
We'll start with you running into the door a few weeks back. We still don't know exactly how it happened, but one night I asked you to go to the bathtub for a bath. You went running around the corner and fell into the side of the door. This is where it gets confusing because we don't know how you managed to cut your head open, but you did. You were convinced that Connor pushed you but Connor was in front of you so there was no way! You were screaming and crying out of pain. Kaylee was standing naked in the bathtub screaming for us to come turn on the water because she was cold, and Connor saw all the blood from your head rolling into your eyes and was convinced that you had lost an eye and could no longer see so he was screaming and crying. Daddy and I for a slight second were overwhelmed. We had no idea who to quiet down first. We ended up going to the emergency room where you got 5 staples in your head. You were a very brave boy. You were hilarious in the emergency room because the doctor would walk in and you would instantly clam up. Then when he left the room you would start talking again. You kept telling us you were afraid he was going to cut you open. We kept trying to explain that you were already cut open and he was going to close it up. It was a battle we just couldn't win, you were not to be convinced.
It didn't seem to hurt you to badly unless you were laying down, and you did not want to lay down. The first few nights were really long nights because we couldn't get you to fall asleep. However, halfway through the week Daddy had an idea. He gave you his work hat and told you it was a special hat. This special hat would keep your head from hurting. You put it on your head, laid down, and went right to sleep. The rest of the week you took your special hat to sleep with you every night. You also wore your special hat to school to cover up the bandage so nobody would make fun of you. You were incredibly worried about people making fun of you. Your friends Abby and Grace made you a get well card and got you a cool Toy Story plate as a get better soon present. Abby drew a picture of the two of you getting married and she giggled like a school girl when she showed you. It was rather adorable and I saved the card she made in your box just in case I ever need to pull it out and embarrass you two as teenagers!
You played indoor soccer this season. You are always the fastest runner on the team, and you love to be told that you "run so fast." You don't like to kick the ball though, so you spend the entire game running next to the person kicking the ball. It's adorable. You are so proud of yourself. You could easily steal the ball from anyone who had it, but you are just content as a clam to run next to it.
Grammy Darrlyn took you to buy a plant at Walmart. It was a really hard decision but you went with the cactus. I am thrilled about that because we don't have to water them as much! You love having your own plant and check on it all the time. It's hard for you that we don't get to water it much, but you still love your pick.
We made some house rules again. Largely for Kaylee, but you two boys sure loved to help make the rules and decorate the poster. I would say we're still struggling to follow the rules on the poster, but it's nice to once again have a few rules that we use all day every day. I also love looking at your poster.
Star Wars and Spiderman is the talk of the town right now. However, you got really neat light sabers for your birthday and you have "fight outs" all the time. You love to use the force and gang up on Daddy. Daddy even had to go get his own light saber so he could keep up with you and Connor. Kaylee even uses the force, which everyone thinks is hysterical! You are a good big brother and you have "fight outs" with Kaylee too although I think you prefer playing with Daddy.
Your birthday was so fun this year! You were very excited for it and we had a countdown going for over a month! You wanted a spiderman party. For your birthday we did all things spiderman. You loved your cake, although it was really hard for Mommy to make. The walls weren't working and so I wasn't going to put them on. I told you about it and you stared at the cake long and hard before saying, " I really think it would look better with walls." So, we found a way to make the walls work. You were thrilled! You loved the cake topper candle the most.
At preschool you got your own birthday snack day. That was really exciting for you and you decided you wanted to take Captain America cookies. We had to make them twice because the first ones looked more like Nacho Libre than Captain America, but in the end they were adorable and it was a big hit at preschool. You got a birthday hat and got to be the line leader which are very important and fun things. I love how excited you got this year!
Here's to another year! I'm so excited to see what it will bring. I love you buddy, more every day!
Mommy
