Happy Birthday Boyd!!!

I cannot believe my little buddy is already 4!!! He is such an amazing little man it blows my mind how athletic he is. For his birthday he wanted to go bowling so we took everyone to Brunswick Zone and bowled and ate pizza and soda. He had a great time. He scored some great loot too. Funny thing is that he saw a present before he knew it was his and was upset cause he thought it was for another little boy and it was a bat full of baseball gum and was so sad and when I told him it was his he was so excited he couldn't even stand it. So this spring in March he learned how to ride his bike with no training wheels in all of about 5 minutes. It snowed later that day so I thought he'd need to relearn how to do it and after the snow melted he asked if he could ride is bike and I told him I'd be out in just a minute to help him so I go outside to get him started and he rides by me. I asked him how he did that and he told me "I watched Aubrey kick with her foot to go and so I did" Crazy! It doesn't help that his dad told him that as soon as he learned to ride his bike with no training wheels he would get him a dirt bike. So he learned and asks for his bike every week. My sister and brother in law are giving him their little Honda 50 so he can't wait!! He has a best buddy Mal our little neighbor girl and we nick named them Forrest and Jenny cause they are always together. They have the best conversations. The other day at our house they were coloring at the table and this was the conversation
Mal: Boyd I love you!
Boyd: Mal you're crazy! But I know:)
Those two are crazy! There is rarely drama and if there is they just take a break from each other for a few minutes and then resume playing. I love that we have such great neighbors.
We signed him up for T-ball and he cannot wait for his first practice next Monday. He is amazing with a baseball. He can hit anything his dad throws at him and I'm not kidding he is crazy good. He can pitch the ball to himself and he can throw. Some of his little quirks kill me.
Some things about Boyd at 4
1. He can ride his bike without training wheels
2. He can play baseball amazingly well
3. He always says "What the...?" usually ends with crazy but sometimes just leaves ya hangin'

7. He hates wearing church clothes and we fight every Sunday about it.
8. He loves to pray and is usually the first one to call that its his turn
9. He can spell his name
10. He knows his alphabet and 1-10
