Happy Birthday L!!!! The big 4!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY L!!!!!!!!!!

I can't belive my little man is 4 already. He was so excited for his birthday. He would tell everyone how many 'sleeps' before his b-day. (that's how he figures out days. . . how many times he has to go to sleep.)

This year, he was playing with the baby moniter in our room and after a while, came down and asked to put his watch on. (this was the day before his birthday). I said, "oh, Lo" and he said, "sorry, I didn't mean to find my birthday presents." HA HA HA> they were hidden in my room under a blanket and everything. He is such a little sneak!!! :) The rest of the day, he would tell people that he had one more sleep until his birthday and THEN he could have his watch. I guess he didn't care he didn't have a surprise. He was still excited for his watch. (He's been wanting one for a LONG time.)

Here are a few things that make Lo my awesome little man.

1) He is my incredible DASH. For those of you that have seen the incredibles, Lo reminds me sooo very much of Dash. He is always on the move, seeing how fast he can go or how many twirls he can do in the air before he lands on his bum. He is super man from couch to couch and finds GREAT joy in doing 'tricks' off the couch or on the tramp. He is super agile and pretty coordinated little guy.

2) He gets SOOOO excited for things. It's fun to take him places or get him new things because he gets soooo excited. When he was two, he would shout "A present" every time someone handed him a present on Christmas.

3) Lo loves to be around people. He is a great little people person. He will talk to ANYONE (which can be scary sometimes) and frequently tells the cashiers at the store EVERYTHING about our family and what's on his mind.

4) He is very expressive in his thoughts and feelings. He DEFINITELY has a mind of his own and will express what he wants and thinks very clearly. . . VERY clearly! :)

5) Lo gives the BEST running hugs EVER. A tight squeeze around the neck and a great big kiss from him and your heart will be warmed for good!

6) Lo loves to learn. Although his attention span is about 5 milliseconds, he really does love to learn and remembers everything. He will frequently ask us to tell him this story or that story that we had told him months ago. He LOVES preschool and can't wait to start again in a month. He thrives in that environment and feels like such a big boy.

7) and how could we forget his awesome Red hair!!!! LOVE IT! :)

Happy birthday, buddy. We love you so much and are so glad you are a part of our family! You make us laugh so much! We love it. . . we love you!
