My baby boy turned 4 years old today. That seems so old to me but also seems a long time coming as well. Poor guy was up all night getting sick so it wasn't as lively of an event as I am sure he would have enjoyed had he felt better. Last year we had a big ol' party for him so this year we played things low key. All he wanted to do was "play Wii with the boys" (which meant his dad, his papa and his Uncle Evan). He was happy with the presents he received... a couple of Wii games, a couple of CARS things, a couple Toy Story things, a baseball T, some race tracks and a flashlight. All a boy could ever want.
- He's a big boy... I think he will be one of the biggest kindergartners ever
- He is a cuddler.. with his momma
- Even though he is big he can be very gentle and sweet
- He loves cars
- Owen is an observer at first... he likes to watch how things work before trying them out for himself
- He has a great smile
- He thinks Tom and Jerry is hilarious
- Owen is an independent kid... he could play by himself all day
- He is scared of his room and likes to sleep by mom whenever he can
- He loves two foods: milk and hot dogs... he subsists primarily on the two
- Owen is a great big brother... this has become more obvious as Ellie is now in school and Owen can now take care of Maggie more
- He is sensitive... those alligator tears he has make me tear up every time
- I love his half smile that he gets when he is amused by something
- Owen is very stubborn-- an easy kid until you want him to do something that he doesn't want to do
- loves the dentist
- has huge feet... how many 3/4 year olds wear size 13?
- likes cupcakes and muffins
- loves to play and watch others play the Wii
- thinks Uncles are the cat's meow
- will follow any older boy... he wants to be one of the guys
- likes to climb, throw things, swing things around and by rough... I guess that's just a boy for ya
- He is very smart
- He has a curious nature
- Is a big time momma's boy
- loves his puppy, Lucy... sometimes too much
- wears size 6 clothes... almost size 7
- Owen is really cute when he gets excited!
- He thinks he is hot stuff when he gets to have "stud gel" (styling gel) in his hair
- could take a bath or shower for hours if I would let him
- can swim on his own
- loves water slides... unless they're dark
- has a sweet tooth
- likes apples
- loves his grandparents... a soft spot for his grandmas and is in love with his grandpas
- likes to feel like people are proud of him
- finally potty trained at 3 1/2... hasn't had an accident in months... still working on night time
- always leaves the house with fistfuls of toys to bring in the car with him
- responds more to one on one/eye to eye interaction and calm talk than being yelled at... it frazzles and frustrates him
- will share his toys willingly as long as other kids are playing with them the way he would play with them
- is my most comfortable kid to lay with
- still rubs on mom's upper arm for comfort
- really loves both Ellie and Maggie-- genuinely
- is quite computer savvy
- enjoys being outside and being adventurous
- is both the easiest and hardest child
Oh my sweet boy, there is so much to love about you. Even though you are four already, you are still my baby boy and I love you very much. We are so lucky to have you in our family and have the opportunity to share each day with you. Happy Birthday Owen!
