Owen turned four yesterday! Can't believe how quickly those years have flown by. We are so very grateful for his zest for life, his comfort in his own skin (one recent example: playing air guitar in Walmart while wearing a t-shirt, shorts, bright red fire truck rain boots, and sunglasses--with the tag still on them), his outgoing personality, and his love for singing--provided no one is watching him! He's brought so much joy to our household that we can't imagine life without this little guy. Don't grow up too fast, little man!
The birthday fun was stretched out over a few days. It all started with cupcakes to preschool last Friday. The boy loves "The Lorax" and requested Truffula Tree cupcakes. On Saturday, we got to see "Rio 2" (the first is a favorite in this house, so seeing the sequel was a great treat). Family time on Sunday, including swimming at the YMCA. His actual birthday was spent chaperoning Brennan's class trip to the Richmond Zoo, topped off with his choice of waffles for dinner. Great way to celebrate this boy!
