Dexter Celebrates 4

And now it's Dexter's turn! This kid has a tendency to make every day exciting, so his birthday was bound to be a good one. He really wanted a wand like in Harry Potter, and we've already heard all sorts of charms and spells from this guy.

He also loves Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Mom and Dad got super excited to find a practically new toy ship at a second hand store. He was thrilled and very surprised! He now has 2 pirate ships and we've already had some epic battles involving all of the kids.

He also really likes Star Wars, just like his brother. He wanted a Millennium Falcon cake. So, with Jason's help, that's exactly what I made. Pretty good, I think, with just one round and one square cake and no real plan except trying to make it look like a toy he got for Christmas.

I'm sure this year will be great for Dexter. He's enjoying his little preschool group and is tolerating being at home with just me and Eliana. He loves his sister, but he could definitely use more than the entertainment that we provide. He was also super-healthy at his check-up and was in the 90 something percentiles for both height and weight. He is full of energy and always coming up with stories, and singing songs. He still doesn't have much of a desire to learn anything like his alphabet or his numbers, although he's getting much better at his colors since getting a Star Wars Colors book for Christmas.

We love this kid! Happy Birthday Dex!
