Happy 4th birthday Scottie!!

4 years old!!

 

 Saturday was Scott's 4th birthday and although we didn't do a whole lot, Granddaddy and Aunt Christiana came up for a quick visit, Scottie opened presents from Mommy and Daddy and brothers, and Daddy took him out to a special birthday breakfast. Mommy came home with Shaun from his cataract surgery and met them in Winchester after Scottie's breakfast out. That was followed by a session of throw up and then by the afternoon he was fine! Scottie has been looking forward to turning 4 for a long time. It meant he would be able to ride the dirt bike. Daddy took him in the front yard and let him ride it around (while daddy was holding the throttle and running beside him per Mommy's instructions). I learned that you have to let Daddy's be daddy and do some things that mommy's just wouldn't in order to build that bond between Daddy and Son. SO with eyes wide shut I watched as my little boy rode around on the motorcycle, loving every minute and looking forward to when it would be his turn again. We ended up coming inside after that and opening gifts, playing with presents and spending quality time together.

I look forward to this next year with Scottie and seeing how God develops this big boy!  He loves playing LEGOs, any action figure, dressing up as characters (he got Iron Man for his birthday), playing kitchen, play dough, and going on bike rides and playing at the park. He is unique to Scottie, wanting to cuddle and hold his baby brother, but loves his independence in being able to do most things "by myself"!  He loves his friends, wants to be a fireman, policeman and soldier when he grows up and has the most loving big brown eyes and cute smile that will someday get me into trouble. I love you, Scottie!!
