Happy 4th Birthday Jonah!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful FOUR year old Jonah! Jonah is absolutely one the THE loves of my life. He is sensitive, caring, spunky, a jokester, a lover of music (especially drumming), concerned for others, and a true joy. This weekend we had a blast celebrating our little boy. The day started with Jonah's favorite breakfast (banana chocolate chip pancakes) and the day ended with a quick trip to Chuck E. Cheese to play some games (a promise we had made to Jonah months ago). But the "meat" of the day occurred when we took Jonah and some of his buddies bowling at the lanes near our house. Six 4 year olds + bowling+ 4 year old energy= an entertaining and tiring day. I love watching Jonah interact with his friends. His has such a sweet spirit and it truly may be proud when I would see him with his friends after they would throw the bowling ball. He would stand beside them with his arm around them, encouraging them on how well they had just bowled. What a great kid!

After bowling, the kids walked to our home (just around the corner) to enjoy ice cream and Jonah's Star Wars themed cake. Again, I loved watching him play with his friends. It is so amazing that one day your children can barely express anything in words and then you blink only to realize that they are capable of having full conversations with other tiny humans.

Besides getting the final piece of his drum set (a floor tom drum), Jonah was probably most excited about finally getting to sleep in the top of his bunk bed for the first time. Since getting the bed from David's dad last Christmas, Jonah had been told that he would get to sleep in the top bunk as soon as he turned 4. He did great! And of course, wouldn't you know that as soon as the bottom bunk opened up, Judah would be requesting his new bed. He did great as well! So now, not only do we have 1 big boy, but we have 2 big boys. Two incredible big boys! I am truly blessed.
