Birthday's for Big Boys

Well today is an exciting day in my house. Jesse Jr. is 4 years old today. I can't believe he will be in kindergarten next year. He's not a baby anymore, he informs us of this often. I was thinking yesterday, well at least I still have a baby at home, wait that baby will be one in 2 months. Boy, how time flys.



Jesse Jr. is growing up to be such an awesome kid. He's fun, full of love and laughter. He brings so much joy to us. He's good natured, kind, fierce and independent. I look at him with his big brown eyes, and bright smile and can't help but remember that it only seems like yesterday that he was so dependant on me, and now I hear him running through my house yelling " I can do it by myself." He amazes me at how much he learns everyday. It's always an interesting thing when your kids say things, and your first reaction is where did you learn that from? Usually the answer is mom or dad. It's not really the things we say since he has a grasp on what he's allowed to say and not, it's more the tone of voice that we use that's not always pleasant, that he picks up on.



He is a really good big brother and gets along with Isaiah well . They play for hours together. In fact when we told him it was his birthday tomorrow, his first reaction was " Will Isaiah get to have a piece of cake too, I want to share with him. Moments like these make me love my kids more and more. Of course the days will come when there fighting with each other, but for the time being I like to think they will be best friends forever.
