My Superboy is Four!

My little "superman" turned four on Saturday. Four. I can't believe that four years ago, my baby boy was born. And because he is such an amazing little boy, he deserved a SUPER party. A party fit for a superhero....

...one filled with the types of things mini superheros like to do...wear superman capes, bounce in the sky, fly down a slide and make masks to disguise....

Preparing for a superhero party is no easy task. I made 14 super capes...eight boy capes and four girl capes.

And I had to do my best to keep my house and yard clean and set up for the party...
...but it was worth every minute of work...it was so much fun watching Nathan's friends light up each time he handed them their cape, they put them on and turned into superheros. And I was so excited when the capes survived all of the bouncing and sliding. Worth every minute!

And after that day, I swear Nathan grew taller, became even smarter and just became a "big" boy. I am so proud of him. He is extremely smart, he is very loving and kind, and very protective of his brother. He is shy, sensitive and funny.

He made me realize how much I could really, really something...and I'll never forget those many months of rocking him to sleep and whispering to him how much I loved him. Oh my baby, my beloved baby, is now four!
