sad day

Today is a sad day for me. My little Mr. man Grae is turning 4. No way. He's growing up and I don't like it. He is just a joy to everyone in the house. Really.

He's a sweet and affectionate boy who likes to leap off the highest object in the room and then exclaim "I'm alright Mommy." or "Mom" as he's taken to call me as apparently that is more manly.

Grae thinks everyone likes him and I mean everyone in the world. He is at that stage where he thinks out loud, to the embarrassment of anyone around. For example, we had a nice lady come to look at a piece of furniture we were selling on Craigslist. Grae ran into the room and then quickly ran out again. He told his sisters that he was disappointed because he thought the lady would be pretty. But he added that she was wearing a pretty dress.

He's excited to be growing up and wants to learn to ride a bike this year, and climb walls like Spiderman and fly like Superman and fly an airplane, and.....

Here's what his dad bought him. Notice that the kid was talking at the time. He talks all the time.



They are watching Wall-E right now as I'm about to go paint his bedroom. No school today, we've declared Grae's birthday to be a school holiday. Yay!

Happy Birthday Grae-man. We all love you so much.
