Caden is now a 4 year old. While I'm excited that some of the behaviors of a 2 and 3 year old are behind us, hopefully, I'm learning more about the fun that comes with 4. I do believe that with 4 comes the belief that you know everything and that mom (and sometimes dad) are no longer always right. Arguing comes with this and he now all of a sudden knows more than I do about things. I'm sure there will be more I will learn but this is something I've already picked up on and we are only two weeks into 4. Caden is a blast, most of the time : ) , and keeps us busy with his imagination and energy. For his birthday we celebrated with lots of foods of his choice. Donuts for breakfast, Taco Bell for lunch, and 63 Diner for dinner. We went swimming the morning of his birthday with one of his good friends. Then after eating out for dinner we went downtown to a Family Fun Fest where we got to see some dogs doing tricks, got some balloon animals, and bounced in a bounce house. Then we returned home for the cakes he had requested. For the longest time he had said that he wanted a dinosaur birthday cake...one with a dinosaur made out of blueberries on it. I'm not sure where that idea came from but he stuck with it for months. Then at the last few days before his birthday he started saying he wanted a football cake. Really he said he wanted one with football players on it, but I took a little different (and easier) route. All in all he thought it was super cool that he got two cakes and they were fun and pretty easy to make. His 4 yr check-up at the doctor went great. He is well prepared for kindergarten, which he won't attend for 2 years, meaning that he got all the shots he needs. He weighed in at 32 lbs (16th percentile) and was 40 inches tall (36th percentile). He is a growing boy, we can't believe he is 4!

Somehow it doesn't surprise me that Caden's actual birthday is centered around food! The blueberry dinosaur cake is VERY impressive!
