I can't believe it... he is 4!

Rowen is 4 today! Happy Birthday sweet boy. We love you more than words can express!

Rowen and his baby doll

This boy is all boy- cars, trucks, dirt, dinosaurs, jumping on EVERYTHING, running EVERYWHERE, growling at EVERYONE, very physical and stubborn.

BUT this boy is also all boy in other ways- tender hearted, affectionate, caring, and sweet as pie. He shows us this side of him every day.

I love this photo of Rowen holding his baby so tenderly. He was patting it's back and saying soft sweet words to it. This kid never ceases to amaze me :).

Boxes

Boxes, boxes, boxes- all over our house!
Rowen loves to play with boxes- packing them, delivering them, unpacking them, stacking them, writing on them- over and over again.
We get a kick out his box obsession; however, I have recently had to limit the number of boxes allowed in the house to 3. I couldn't take the 6-8 boxes all over the house packed with toys and books. Not only was it a clutter problem for me, it also caused a few tears for Ro when he couldn't find a certain toy he wanted to play with. Going through 8 boxes to find a toy is no fun! Three is working out well for now. One box always goes to bed with Rowen at night. It sits at the end of his bed, packed with Rowen's favorite toys, ready to be unpacked in the morning.

Rowen packs his boxes carefully.

He is so proud :)
