Happy Belated 4th B-day Little Bryan!!!

Well, it's been over a month since Bryan turned 4 but I figured its better late than never :) I can't believe that Bryan is four already! In some ways it seems to have flew by. We had a little party w/ some of Bryan's friends and cousins and Papa and Grandma Jojo were in town too! Bryan seemed to really enjoy all the aspects of his b-day this year!

Here are a few things about Bryan at 4:

- Still loves to play cars and trains and he plays so well on his own. He still has such a big imagination. He can make something out of nothing. (His fork and a grape could easily entertain him for 20min.)

- He has almost completed his 1st year of preschool and he has been doing great. I've been amazed that he has never cried one time! He has some really cute things that he will say that they've learned at school. (ex: Last week I learned when we were doing the Hokie pokie, that you say "And you do the Hallaluiah", not "the Holie Pokie"!

- He still has an amazing memory and recalls things from a year ago like it was yesterday!

- He has been taking his first steps toward reading. Sounding out small words, etc.

- Switched to his big boy bed and gave up the car bed! (Still working on not sucking his fingers at night though!)

- Has really been working on being kind to others and thinking of others before himself. We are optimistic (most days!) that the Lord is going to work in his heart....

- He is really starting to think through so many things in a more complex way and its really cute! (ex: The other day he was using the potty and I asked him if he needed help wiping yet and he said "No thank you, please come back in 20min!") 20 is a really long time in his mind!

Here are a few pics from his little party:

We love you buddy. You are a joy to our family. You've helped to make us more dependant on God in so many ways! You've also shown us how to appreciate some of the small things in life.

Love, Mommy and Daddy
