Wow, it's been a while! Life has been a little hectic, let's just put it that way... Hoping for a slow down very shortly~! In the meantime of this crazy wonderful life, my little boy turned FOUR years old on April 28th. He is very excited about being four, and he had a wonderful birthday!
The day started off like most others, we wished him a happy birthday, made a special little breakfast, and went our seperate ways - Max and I headed to work, and off Ryder went to daycare. Around noon, Max and I met up at the bank (we only worked half days) and we drove over to Ryder's daycare to surprise him and pick him up early. He was a little confused why both of us picked him up and why it was only lunchtime until we explained to him that we were headed to the Mall of America for the day to go to Nickelodean Universe and go on the rides! And that we did, many many rides later, we found ourselves starving and grabbed a yummy supper at Rainforest Cafe, which Ryder thought was pretty cool! Within minutes of leaving the cities, we had a snoring little boy in the backseat which to this mama, means a successful birthday! When we got home, Ryder got to check out his new bike (which is a bright shade of orange, his favorite color of course!).... Overall, it was a great day and we were so happy to share it with our little man. The following Saturday was his birthday party and he had a blast running around with all of his cousins, opening his gifts, and chowing down on his 'dirtbike cake' :) Thanks to all of our family for making it a great birthday party!
At four years old Ryder:
* LOVES anything to do with Buzz Lightyear and Woody from Toy Story --he is obsessed!
* is also very very into "super heroes'" (ie: Spiderman, Batman, etc) and now loves action figure toys.
* still loves anything with a motor and although he hasn't had many opportunities to ride this year yet, still loves to hop on his dirtbike and cruise around the yard when possible...
* hates tomatoes. They are literally the one food that I just can't talk him into liking -- he refuses.
* loves to be silly and make anyone around him laugh just by being a complete goofball.
* has many friends from daycare and from preschool who he cherishes so much!
* is growing up way to fast, I have already witnessed some eye rolling and talking back, ummm...not okay.
* feels that "now since I am four I can wipe my own butt" --mom is not a fan of this as he's not quite thorough;)
* is SUPER excited for his new baby brother or sister on the way! Everyday at some point, he lifts up my shirt and talks to my belly and gives it kisses, he is so sweet....
* will be graduating preschool in a couple weeks.... I can't even believe this!
* now sleeps in his new 'big boy room' downstairs which is finally finished! We moved him down there and have not had a problem whatsoever!
*his favorite color is still orange...bright orange!
* LOVES being four :)
