The boy turns FOUR

My baby boy turned FOUR today.  We didn't do too much to celebrate, but he did tag along with mommy all day finishing up Christmas shopping and getting stuff for the house and move.  We hit over a dozen stores today, spend hundreds of dollars (most of it at the gas pump!), and even stopped at McDonalds in Show Low for a special lunch.  He got a Happy Meal and played in the Playplace for over an hour.  He and Betsy were incredibly good, putting up with all the loading and unloading, and sitting in shopping carts, and rushing from here to there. 
What a great little man we have!! 
He is TROUBLE, with a capital T!  But, he is such a joy. 
A spunky, destructive little tike, everyone's greatest playmate.  He is LOUD, and a bit violent, but still loves to be held, and hugged, and rocked.  He was the finishing touch to our Peterson family, and he does a great job filling the shoes of the baby. 
He knows he can get away with a lot with his silly facial expressions, and sweet gravely voice. 
Happy birthday my baby.  I find myself wishing you little again.

 FOUR!!!!  Sheesh, time flies when you are chasing a busy boy named Jay....
