Turning Four

At 11:19 tonight, my little BJ will officially be four years old. Perhaps he has a sense that he was an evening baby, though I don't believe we've mentioned it to him before.

When he woke up this morning, I told him, "Happy Birthday! You're four years old!"

He immediately corrected me: "No! I'm turning four years old today. I'm still three!" And he repeatedly emphasized this.

I have to agree, it hardly feels possible that an entire year has passed since I wrote about him turning three......

And yet, here he is, not so little anymore!
I wanted to be sure to get a picture today, so I snapped some as he was headed off to preschool. When I asked him to smile, he gave me his typical overbite-with-eyesquint attempt:

And then he relaxed and gave me a nice smile.
Happy birthday, my beloved boy. I love you so: your joy, your wonder, your intelligence, your tenderness, your quirky enthusiasms, your adorable smile. All those things that make you you. Many, many happy returns of the day!
