Happy Birthday, Walker!

Today my little buddy turns 4. He is hysterical and keeps us on our toes for sure. He acts more like an 80 year old than a 4 year old!  He never meets a stranger and can carry on conversations with adults like nobody's business!  He remembers the names of everyone he meets and how they are connected to others and he never forgets anything that he has heard. His memory is crazy amazing! He assesses the room each time he enters before he says anything. I guess he just likes to get a feel things. He loves routine. Each morning, I walk him through the events of the day so there won't be any surprises. He is cautious in a lot of ways and then completely fearless in others. He loves the outdoors. His favorite activities include digging in the dirt or mud, riding his bike and playing baseball and basketball.....he's all boy!!! He is obsessed with all things related to fire trucks and can be found wearing his fire gear all day everyday when at home. He is really sweet to Emma and lets her wear his leftover gear so they can play together. He loves his flip flops and immediately puts them on the second he walks into the doors from school each day. He is still ridiculously picky in the food department. His top choices would be milkshakes, Mac and cheese, cheese pizza, waffles and yogurt. Good thing he has such a great metabolism and never slows down unless he is sleeping!  He gave up naps ages ago, but he is always willing to snuggle and nap with me on Sunday. Thank goodness one of my children appreciates the goodness that is a Sunday nap!!! This morning, I was singing a made up, silly birthday song. He started rolling his eyes. I asked him what he was doing and he said, "I'm just looking at Jesus and wondering if he knows what in the world you are doing."  I just laughed. He is such a mess!! One of my favorite things he does is sign "I Love You" to me. It might be across the playground at school or at night when I tuck him into bed, but it absolutely melts my heart every single time!!  He is so loving and kind and I am so grateful he is mine!
