FOUR

Beckham had been waiting for his birthday for a LONG time.  There were always way too many days left until the big day.

In anticipation, we had a lot of time to talk about what he wanted to do for his birthday.  Roller skating was the answer and try as I might to sway him toward other options, this one stuck.  for good.  for a month. 

so skating, it was.

we took the whole fam-damily and invited Elsie to join us.

thank you Heaven for skate mates.  my back couldn’t do two hours holding kids up.

friends over for cake and ice cream later and he was one happy four-year-old. 

I keep telling him that it’s ok if he still wants to be three, but he never takes me up on it.  he’s the cutest four-year-old boy I know and gives the very best kisses around.  Man, I love this kid but he’s getting way too big, way too fast.
