4 years ago....

I remember that day as if it was yesterday, and I have to give in to the cliche that you just never forget the day your child was born. It was the first day of the great unknown, nothing can prepare you for what lies ahead; birthing classes, parenting classes-none of it measures up. The moment they laid my son into my arms was the scariest yet most exciting day of my life. Now fast forward 4 years and we have reached the moment that Zander has turned 4 years old:) To be honest I still have a hard time wrapping my mind around that sometimes. 4 years old is still so little yet the accomplishments are astronomical, all that he has learned already, and all the things he continues to literally absorb into his being. I am grateful as I watch in amazement, grateful to have been given this little human person to raise and teach, to impart wisdom and traditions on, to giggle and cry with, to hug and to kiss. He is my big-little guy. This year he had asked for a Batman party and I was happy to oblige; invitations and banners were created, party colors chosen, special confetti cut for the table and just the right cake created (vanilla!!!-total surprise, as he is my little chocolate man:)

Zander was one excited 4 year old on the morning off, seeing his gifts on the table and it was a delight to watch as he ripped open each gift and fell in love with all that he received. He eagerly awaited his guests to arrive and played his little heart out when they were all here. It was a great party and Zander loved every moment of it. A big shout out to all who participated to make this day special for my special guy. Happy Birthday Zander
