Happy 4th Birthday Big Guy

Today is O's 4th birthday, hard to believe I started having kids 4 years ago.  It seems like he's been with us forever or maybe I just don't remember what it's like without him around.  O came out ready to take on the world, he was never a calm content baby, he has his dad's personality no doubt.  He showed me what patience really meant and I had no idea how much patience I actually had.  I guess you could say he really broke Kev and I in in the parenting department which was a good thing since we had something pretty big coming out way in less than 18mths.  He has grown into an amazing little guy, still super strong headed and stubborn but I think this will get him extremely far in life.  He is smart beyond his age and loves to learn new things,  more into documentaries than cartoons and can't get enough of reading.  He is 100% boy and will find a pile of dirt to play in and be happy for hours, good thing he has plenty of "work sites" here in our neighborhood.  He is very protective of his sisters but like any other big brother is the boss of them at home and loves it when they listen to him (which is not very often).  He is super sensitive and gets his feeling hurt pretty easily although he won't readily admit it.  He has had to grow up faster than your average kid since his twin sisters came along when he was only 18mths old but has done an amazing job adapting to his new role.  We love you O-dog and can't wait to see you grow up to be an amazing young man but don't grow up too fast cause you'll always be my "goosie".
