Spring 2009

Christian turned 4 on February 11th. It was a sad day for me, as he is my "baby". He consoled me with the fact that he will let me hold him even when he is bigger than Mason. That afternoon, and out of nowhere he exclaimed "I'm still little mom!" I guess he thought he would get bigger on his birthday, he sounded relieved to still be little.
As Zach and Mason were working on Mason's pinwood derby car for cub scouts. Mason decided he wanted to paint it gold....well they had already disagreed on the design on the car. (As a parent it's sometimes difficult to let your kids make their own choices, if you know what is better, or in this case faster). Apparently according to Zach, gold is the last color you should paint your car. He tried to tell Mason that it is illegal to have a gold car....didn't work. Turns out gold was the appropriate color as his car won every race. He was a very good sport, every now and then he acts so grown up :)
Kennedy has been a great big sister lately. She plays "doggy day care" with Christian, and even lets him put a leash on her. She has started giving him piggy back rides around the house. Christian has informed me that they are in love. I asked if he was in love with me too, he said, "no, you can only be in love with one person mom". I disagree, I'm in love with all my kids!
