Asher's Birthday

Asher turned 4!! I can't believe it myself. The kid has grown and matured so much. All of the sudden he is talking like a grown up, his thirst for knowledge has tripled and he remembers EVERYTHING (both a good and a bad thing! ;) He is a handful and drives me insane, but is truly the sweetest, most genuine kid. He loves, and I mean LOVES to play with other kids and just be around other people in general. He loves to play play play and has an amazing imagination and ability to turn any old object into something spectacular (again, not always good). He lives in his head a lot of loves to make his toys talk to each other. For the last few days, he has spent an hour plus in the bathtub playing with his sea animals. It is a crack up. He is in love with animals, baby animals in particular. Baby birds are his favorite. Don't ask me why he has latched on to them, but this has been going on for almost a year, starting last fall when he wanted to be a baby chicky for Halloween. We got him a bunch of audobon birds for his birthday, and they are all his babies, and he is always telling me that he has to go put his babies down, or that he has to go because his babies are crying and he needs to take care of them. The other day, baby penguin was sick in bed all day... poor thing. ;) I love watching him him play. It definitely helps soften my heart for those times when his stubborn-ness takes over and I want to wring his little neck. Figuratively speaking, of course!

We love you Asher, and love watching you grow, and are so happy to have you in our family!
