Day Two Hundred Twenty Nine 2010

Elijah Is Four!

Finally 4! Grandson Elijah celebrates his fourth birthday today, and not a minute too soon! He's been looking forward to this day for months.

His grandpa and I took him and sister Shelby to Cream City Ice Cream for a celebration ice cream cone.

He chose Superman and Rainbow Sherbet--the two most colorful flavors of ice cream in the freezer--and put them side by side in a dish. Shelby always goes for the chocolate.

I'm four years old!! And life is good. He woke up this morning to find a new play set in his backyard. It was Water Day at his school, so he got to play in the water and use his new Scooby Doo beach towel (courtesy of Granny). His mom baked cupcakes, and his class had a birthday party in his honor. They sang the birthday song and he blew out his candles.

He's growing up so fast!
Hard to believe he was ever this small.
And sister Shelby didn't quite know what to think of him. Hard to believe ....

... they'd become the good buddies they are today. Happy 4th Birthday, Elijah! Granny and Grandpa love you very much and hope all your birthday wishes come true!
