Dearest Declan, You're 4 Years Old!



Dearest Declan, You're 4 Years Old!

You are celebrating in Michigan today with Grandma Sue and Grandpa Tim and Great Grandpa Pete and Elaine!!!  You were very sad and telling Daddy you didn't want a birthday party because you weren't going to get a remote control car like you saw at Sandy Park.  But you did!  And you had the best early party via videos I saw!  Auntie B and I are here in MN just talking about the wonderful 4 years you have graced us with!!    

You are so inquisitive and curious and we love your never ending questions. Your imagination and play (albeit a tv combo of Pokemon, Paw Patrol, Octonauts and Puppy/Baby) take you on adventures I am so blessed to witness.  Your best friends are Charles & Finnegan but you three love taking the younger boys on your journey's.  I love journaling with you at supper and hearing your versions and the way you describe things! 

You are an amazing big brother.  I love when you talk to him and tell him what we are doing and how fun it will be.. or how you tell him the rules...  "Mom is just telling you the rule, and it is the rule so just listen..."     "Mom will win" you have said a few times with him!   (But news flash... Evan is winning way more than you did.... ) 

But on that note, you are a Momma's boy for sure!  You definitely don't care for having us leave and having babysitters.... or even Auntie B... you just go hang out in your room alone if you want to express that point!  But here is hoping a summer of some new experiences (swim lessons and VBS) and a new year help you get used to other people besides me.

I thank God everyday for making me your mom!  We love you through and through!!

Mom

P.S. Even though you were in a solid no pic phase for half of your three year old life, here are a few favs:
