Birthday Boy


Hard to believe I know but our little Alex is a big 4 today. He has been a wonderful child most days and a real gift to our family. He takes care and watches out for his little brother on a daily basis. I am a bit sad that he is growing up so fast and that is really funny as some days I yearn for him to be a big boy and no whining! Such as life as a parent. We seem to never be satisfied and forever looking forward to the next step and yet sad that the last one is gone forever. He had a party at his school today and I made some jello treats for his class to share at snack time. I heard that the best part was the whipped cream on top. Happy 4th birthday little buddy!!!!

Back to Pre-K!

Alex went back to school yesterday and oh what a tale to tell. He had been excited to go back for about a week now and seemed happy to be going back to see some of his old friends. Well we biked there and all was fine and dandy for Daddy. We got to the class entrance and my little dude started to walk to the door and I said "Hey bud you forgot to give me a huge and kiss" He then walked half way back to me and then suddenly did an about face and raced into the class. I was crushed!!! The boy didn't even give me a wave or any sort of a good bye. He'll be 4 next week and already embarrassed to give old dad a good bye huge and kiss. Growing up way to fast! Thank god I don't have a daughter as I would need therapy after something as traumatic as that! HaHa
