Sawyer is 4!

April is such a fun month in our household. This past weekend we celebrated Easter, Layne's birthday and Sawyer's birthday! I can't believe he is already 4 years old. This weekend will hold a pirate birthday party unlike any other and I am sure I will have tons of pictures to post afterwards. Sawyer got more excited than ever about his birthday this year. He has been waiting for it for months. He just couldn't wait to turn 4 year olds (as he would say)! On the morning of his birthday I went in his room at our usual 6:30am and woke him up by saying, "Sawyer, wake up wake up, it's your birthday!" Our normal routine is for him to moan and groan and say, "but mommy, I too tired." However on this morning he immediately started kicking his feet with excitement and opened his eyes and squealed! He stretched out big and said, "look mommy, I am changing into 4!" I love that little boy so much! He celebrated his big day by taking Transformer cupcakes to school to share with his friends, meeting family at the Panda House (his favorite place to eat) for dinner, of course opening fun presents and ending the day by playing his new Mario Kart game with daddy. He didn't want the day to end! The next day when I woke him up he said, "Mommy, am I still 4?" Ha ha, apparently 4 is a big deal! He has now decided that since he is 4 he can do everything by himself. Just this week he has started dressing himself, brushing his own teeth, etc. It has been entertaining to watch his new found independence take root. :)
