4 year old Patrick

Patrick,

A couple weeks ago you turned 4.  You're 4, bud!  You are my adorable, crazy little boy.
At 4 years old, you love Rescue Bots, riding your bike and running anywhere you can.  You love your little brother and constantly call him your best friend and you are more social than I ever have been in my life.  And how do you have so much energy!?  So. Much. Energy.  You are a strong, stubborn force and your dad and I are constantly figuring out how to keep our patience and sway your strength to be used for good.  Bud, I'm constantly worrying that I'm not the right mom for you.  In a lot of ways, we're completely opposite in our personalities but I can't say how much you're teaching me.  And I just pray everyday that I'm able to teach you something as well.  I love you.  I love you so much and some days I get a glimpse of why I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to be your mom.

For your birthday, we invited family over for a little dinner and lots of play time with cousins.  Playing with your cousins was the highlight of your day.

Running around with Nerf guns is great at any age.

A little Pizza Pie Cafe for lunch before your party started.  Gotta get that "black pizza" you love so much
   One more year of pre-school and then you're going to be my little kindergartner.  I can't wait because I know you will be adorable walking up to those black doors with your backpack on, and I know you will be so excited but just thinking about it makes me want to cry.  Happy Birthday, bud.
