7/29/2009Happy Birthday to my handsome sweet little buddy. I cannot believe you are already 4. Where did the time go? I wish I could pause you right where you are, with the dirt under your nails, your messy little face, and the sweet smell of the outside in your hair. Thank you for being my buddy and for always helping me out so much. I love you with all my heart!
4 Reasons I love my Austin (I could name a million, but since he is 4...)
1. You are so sweet. You have a kindness about you that is absolutely genuine. You love everyone, and everything, even down to the tiniest little insect. In fact when there is a spider in the house, you wont let me smash it. We have to let them go outside to their "families." If I do get caught whacking one, you cry and say,"poor little guy".
2. You love your little sister, and never showed an ounce of jealousy when we brought her home, even though I could see it in your eyes. You are so sweet to her, and it shows in how much she adores you. When she cries you always make sure I know by saying,"mom help Lily". I have even caught you turning off the swing and giving her her binkie. You call her little princess, prettiest girl, little darling, and little angel.
3.You are tiny. A whole 29 Lbs. But everything you do it big. Tiny as in you still fit into a 24 month pant. Tiny as in your cousins that are 9 months younger then you are taller then you. You are also the only person I can honestly recall calling me tall. Every time you say it, I see another gold star appear on your forehead. You'll never be a basketball player, but football is better anyway.
4. You make friends EVERYWHERE we go. Whether it is the Mall, swimming pool, or just the grocery store. I am truly envious of how easy you do. There is not one place I can think of, where you haven't met someone, and when they walked away they didn't have a huge smile on their face. AND it isn't just kids your age. People of all ages seem to enjoy your company.
Austin it has been a privilege to have you in our lives, for just these 4 short years. You have filled our home with so much joy and love beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Thank you my little friend. I cant wait for the years to come. Happy Birthday!

Were you trying to make me cry? That was so sweet how you expressed yourself about your little man. I think you need to make that into a children's book about Austin. You know how you can send away for one that you create yourself? You really have a way with words. You make us blog readers either laugh or cry. Thanks for sharing.
I agree...tears in the eyes my friend =). What a sweet post. You are truly a great mom. Your kids are CRAZY cute and we love them dearly. SO glad to see you guys last night. We had a good time and you threw an amazing b-day bash!! Love you guys!!
Happy Birthday Austin! Being four is just great!!!
