And Then I Was Four

"I don't feel any bigger." - G

"Stop talking about my birthday! It's not my birthday anymore." - G, Jan 7, 2011

On his actual birthday, here's what we did...

Play-doh was the first gift of the day. Reminded us of Cottage and of Renata. Missing on all of G's little buddies.

"Why do you keeping talking about Justin Bieber?"

(fyi- this is Justin Bieber)

"We went to the ball pit place!" (he's the one on the right)

"Look, it's sponge bob!" (G took this photo)

There was also a basketball. (G directed me in the taking off this photo, we took a dozen photos to get the "swoosh" of the ball in the net just right...)

"Eeeeeee! You can't catch me, Mama, I'm invisible!"

Mommy spotting G as he climbed to the top of the wall.

He also made a few moves without help. ("backstep/mantle combo...nice." - Susan)

We also played with his new nerf football ("it's a football, you can only use your feet" - G ... we have some sports training to do). Then we visited Grandma and Grandpa ("are you up for a visit today" G asked Grandma), read a Bernstein Bear book, and played "the fishy game" on the computer ("my favorite game!"). Back home we had calzone (um, how is calzone NOT in the spell-checker dictionary?) with candles on it for dinner, and did I mention we had ice cream for breakfast? After dinner he started his first model-building experience, putting together a Bloco troll. He really liked it! Photos of the finished troll are coming soon...
