Four Years Old!!!!!!


My little four year old boy - perfect in every single way. You no longer look like a baby, you no longer look like a toddler - you are such a little man these days. Your 4T clothes are already too small for you - you certainly have your daddy's height and body structure. Your arms are very long so a lot of your shirts no longer fit in them... You are going to break the bank if you do not stop growing soon!

The day before your birthday, we celebrated at your preschool! They have very strict rules as to what you can bring as a snack - you chose to bring Lightning McQueen gummies! Mama snuck out of work and came for the birthday celebration - you had a birthday crown that you were wearing, you were the leader of the class, everyone sang you happy birthday, and then you got to share your yummy gummies with all of your friends. You were certainly feeling pretty special :) Your actual birthday, Mama took off work and we just hung out together! We met Auntie and Kambree at Pizza Hut so you could eat your favorite lunch (DUH! PIZZA!!!) and then the two of you played in the play-place for such a long time. You crashed when you got home....of course Mama laid with you because I just cannot get enough of the Lathan sleepy snuggles. You still rub my cheeks as a way to put yourself to sleep. :) Your spiderman birthday party was so the day after your birthday and it was perfect! The living room was packed with your most favorite people and you got SO many cool things!!!! There were spiderman decorations everywhere! (Mama had thought she was cutting back this year but as I started to decorate more and more, I realize that was not actually the case at all. OOPS!) You had a blast though!

My four year old baby boy, Everytime Mama looks at you - you make my heart melt. You are as sweet as can be... you tell Mama how beautiful you think I am and how I am your girlfriend. One day you put both hands on my cheeks and told me I was your most favorite girl ever. Those are the moments that I will forever lock away in my memory bank...someday I will no longer be your number one girl, you will be too big for cuddles and snuggles (Yes, I am crying as I am writing this...) but it is true. Someday you will outgrow Mama..I will treasure every moment I have with you as my sweet little boy. Although you will always be my baby, reality is that you will stop cuddling, you will become more independent with every passing day... I love you Lathan Rush. Words cannot even describe how much.
