HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY DOODLE

I cannot believe that it has been 4 years since Doodle was born. Some days it seem just like yesterday that we began our 5 month journey in the NICU and some days it seems like it has been 10 years since we went through all of that. I can't believe how far we have come in the 4 years.

Matt and Jack and I had such a great day today. We were going to have his party today and then decided that we would just make it a family day and I am so happy we did. We started with presents in the morning. (It felt like Christmas morning almost). Then he wanted to go to Spyros for breakfast and he had pancakes. They came out at the end with little strawberry shortcake and a candle and sang happy birthday. I thought he would love it because he couldn't wait to sing. At the end he started crying and I thought maybe he got embarrassed. NOPE!!! Come to find out, he was upset because there was whipped cream on his "birthday". HAHAH!!! It was quite funny! (NOTE: he doesn't like whipped cream). Then he wanted to go to Target for a prize. I am not sure he really got a prize but we did get some Christmas shopping accomplished and some baby stuff bought and he got to play with the toys there. Then it was DEFINITELY nap time. He is working on getting sick so his attitude wasn't the best today. After nap time he wanted to put Christmas lights up outside so he talked daddy into do that. Daddy really got into it last year because we actually had to go out to Big Lots and get more stuff! Daddy is usually a Scrooge!!! Then Jack wanted to go to "Shake It" (AKA Steak n' Shake). Then home we went to finish up the lights and then we drove around and looked at other peoples lights!!! When you ask him what his best part of the day was he says, "THE PANCAKES!" hahahahah!!!

Happy Birthday Jack. We love you to pieces and we are so proud of you! You are one awesome little doodle and we couldn't ask for a better little man! MUAH!!!!!
