Finn's 4th Birthday

My little "Fournado" turned four at the end of July. Time flies!

This must have been the first time since becoming a parent that I was actually looking forward to one of my kids getting older. Three was rough...not just rough, it was exhausting, frustrating, and I was more than happy to see it go. I knew Finn wouldn't magically wake up on his fourth birthday and everything would be different, but it was just one step into going into the right direction, and I remember four being an awesome age with Fox.

He was so excited that morning to see all of his decorations, and to open his gifts.

He decided that he didn't want to have an actual birthday party with his friends, but rather go to the Great Wolf Lodge with one special friend at a later date. We had a big party when he turned three, and I would confidently say that he absolutely hated it. He doesn't like being the center of attention or when there's too many people and kids at our house.

So in lieu of a big party, we just had some of the family over for a low key pizza dinner and cake, per Finn's request.

Everyone commented how Fox decided to "dress up" for Finn's birthday by staying in his pajamas...ha! I don't blame him, I like to stay in my pajamas too when we don't go anywhere.

It was a great night celebrating our favorite four year old!

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do. Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha. Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...
