Wow, has it been 4 years?
About this time four years ago I was holding my brand-new baby boy! After the girls went past their due dates, I decided to do an induction this time. No good reason, the dr was on call that day and would be at the hospital all day. I had been having some prodromal labor, but nothing consistent yet, so we decided to go ahead and do it. I was one of the lucky ones — no complications beyond excruciating pain. I am NOT doing an induction this time. Anyway he’s four today!!! I have been praying for this day — three was a challenging year. It’s not an overnight behavior change, but I am seeing his ability to understand and make better choices in a way that he couldn’t do even a month ago. At least that’s what I’m telling myself. It has been fun having a few hours a day to ourselves while the ‘girlies’ are at school — I’ll have to try to find some time like that even when we bring them home.
I can’t find my camera cord (WAH!), so here’s a camera phone picture from August. He doesn’t look THAT different. I’ll try to take a pic tomorrow and update.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONKEY BOY!!!

Aren’t kids wonderful gifts? And one of God’s gracious miracles is that they do grow up and change.
My eldest, who is in college, and I were talking at lunch about how cute the eldest was when he was a little kid and fell asleep with his food in his hand at the dinner table.
