On Thursday, my baby turned four. F-O-U-R. I am not sure where the time went or how he is already four, but he is. And he is SO happy about it! Lucas is strong-willed and determined. He tries not to let his size or his age stop him from doing anything his big brothers are doing. Often, this leads to tears, but just as often, success. He loves all sweet treats, playing outside, Paw Patrol and PJ Masks, and of course, everything his brothers love!

This year, on his birthday, we experienced a first. Unfortunately, daddy was on a work trip and wasn’t here. It was hard on everyone to be missing daddy on a special day – but, we made the most of it. On his birthday we had some presents, took cupcakes to school, rode a tractor with our Uncle and enjoyed McDonalds for dinner. For Birthday 2 (with daddy) we went to Chuck E. Cheese while the big brothers were at school and finished opening our presents!

I think Lucas loved turning 4. I love watching him grow and seeing bits of who he might become shine through in his personality! It is hard to watch my baby get so big, but it’s an amazing feeling at the same time!
