Parker is 4!!! Oh my Word!

I cannot even believe that my oldest son is already FOUR! Four years ago today as of RIGHT now...Parker was only 30 minutes old. This boy changed our world in the best way ever! He was the easiest baby and now is such a sweet four year old. We love him so so so so much! He continues to make us laugh and bring so much joy into our lives. Everything is new for us with him. This last week we have seen such a change in Parker. We were told that would happen right at 4yo. He has matured so much. We had Parker's birthday party on Saturday at Bee Cave Park. It was great! The weather was HOT but it was very breezy which made it feel good. My whole family was there and a couple of other families who are close to us were there. We had finger painting, bubbles, pizza and a spider man cake.
Today being Parker's actual birthday, Derek took him for donuts this morning all by himself. He was so sweet. The night before I heard him tell Derek that Micah could go. But this morning he changed his mind. Which is fine..we want each one of our kids to have that time with their daddy every birthday. Today also is a BIG day. We took away lovie and blanket. We have been telling Parker for MONTHS now and within the last month probably every day that when he turned 4 lovie and blanket goes bye bye. Derek said he kissed lovie goodbye this morning. He is ready for this. Even though last night I was second guessing myself. Anyways..he has been great today about it. Lets pray he doesn't even look back. ;) We shall see. Enjoy all the pics!
