This guy turned 4 February 11th. This was the night before...he was excited it was the last night he went to bed as a three year old...
We added a few balloons for breakfast that morning so he could feel special. I LOVE making their birthday ALL ABOUT THEM. I tell them it's the only day of the year they get to make all the decisions about what they want to do, where they want to go, and what they want to eat. It's so fun making all over them and catering to their whims for the day.
We went to Sky Zone per our four year old's request. He had a great time, but their rules seem so over the top. I was excited to go, but they wouldn't even let us jump and play. I don't believe we will be back. Hate it because we wanted to play and enjoy it together, but they weren't very nice and I was HIGHLY disappointed...especially since Jonathan took 3 hours off work that day so that we could all go together.
Jace on the other hand hated every second of it. He did not want to jump, and I couldn't hold him, so he just cried the entire time we were there.
Mimi came and played with us and Poppa stopped by on the way to his next job, Tucker was excited to see him and glad Mimi could come with us! We went to Chick-fil-a after and had lunch. Mimi, the 4 of us, and Papaw came to eat. We had a good time. The boys were exhausted from playing so hard, so we went home and napped and then had a delicious breakfast for dinner. He had a super fun day and I'm so glad we have him in our lives to celebrate this sweet, wild, and crazy boy.
We introduced him to Legos (Jonathan has been wanting to introduce them to him since he was two...), he is IN LOVE and does so well putting them together.
Tucker,
I'm so thankful for the opportunity to be your mom. While we have our tough days, I never forget what an amazing blessing you are from the Lord - You are fearfully and wonderfully made by God! I know that He chose you to be in our family, and I also believe the Lord has big things planned for your life. I'm thankful I get to spend every day with you and see how you are learning, growing, and developing into a little boy. This year the verses I have chosen to pray over your life are Joshua 1:9, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged for the lord your God will be with you wherever you go" and Philippians 1:6, "I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus." I have been praying Luke 2:52 over the past year "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature in favor with God and man." And I will continue to pray this prayer over you. I pray that over the next 30 years I will have the blessing to add to these scriptures over the years and see them played out in your life. We know that God's Word will not come back void, and His grace is sufficient for us! Praise the LORD! Tucker I'm so overwhelmed with my love for you and your brother. I am so glad I get the opportunity to see your firsts in life, to kiss your boo boos, and get those sweet hugs you love to give. You have a love for life - the outdoors seem to be your home, and you would stay outside as long as we let you. You are also fascinated with birds, animal life, tractors, monster trucks, and you LOVE LOVE to be read to - I think it might be the only time you actually sit still! You are such a big helper - always willing to lend a helping hand and you are right by your daddy's side learning everything he does - like his mini me. I'm so proud of how sweet of a big brother you are and you are learning so well to manage the anger strikes when they come. I LOVE YOU so much and I'm so thankful for your life. Don't ever forget it!
Love you sweet boy! - Mom
